What is not well known, is that Jethro Kloss knew Ellen G. White, who was given light from God on how to prevent disease through healthful eating, drinking, living, etc. and how to use simple natural remedies or herbs. Jethro Kloss new Ellen G. White, and read her works and was amazed at what he learned. This information he passed along in his own books.
If you would like to know more about the material he studied from Ellen G. White, find a copy of the books: "Healthful Living", "Ministry of Healing", "Counsels on Health" and "Counsels on Health and Diet" -- all by Ellen G White. She had much to say on health and true spirituality (she also talked about this subject in her other works) - way before anyone else was really promoting this in the US, back in the mid to late 1800's.
True health is absolutely dependent on true Spiritual health and Mind health. They cannot be seperated. If you find help for any one of these three, then the other two will be helped. Her main thesis was that "The Body is the Temple for the Holy Spirt to dwell in", and "he who destroys the body, God will destroy" - which comes from the Bible. She says that all who are waiting for God's Apearing should be temperate in all things and live healthfully. She also says that studying the laws of health in nature is part of God's law, the same as "the Scriptures" and should be studied as dillegently by all who take His name.
She was talking about Smoking promoting cancer and other problems at a time when Medical Doctors will still proscribing Smoking for people with Asthma and other lung problems!
She also talked about the importance of getting not consuming flesh foods and eating fruits, vegetables and grains. She also talks about not doing improper food combining - eat only 2 or 3 kinds of food at a meal. The importance of fasting for cleaning out the system, and many other things that people who are into health are not just knowing in the last 20 years or so.
She has also said things that the health industry still hasn't learned, so if you want to learn even more, study her books on health.

What a great book!
Karla Clark's 2nd novel hits home just like the first. I couldn't put this book down. Clark's writing style is so charming you are drawn into the story from page one. The city of Rockford comes to life in the pages of this book. Her characters and dialog are so true-to-life. Tess, Danny and Luke cope with the loss of their Mom as best they can. It seems like a endless rollercoaster ride of raw emotion. Yet, at the end of following this greiving family's journey you are still left with a sense of hope and a mother's eternal love. The Landgon family has endured and they are stronger for it.

The Soulwork of Clay: A Hands-On Approach to Spirituality Review

The Soulwork of Clay: A Hands-On Approach to Spirituality
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
"We are," writes Marjory Bankson, "creatures of the earth and creators of possibilities." In The Soulwork of Clay, Bankson explores creation and possibilities on two different levels: working with clay, and approaching that work as "soulwork."
Bankson's instruction is more invitation than manual--each chapter provides exercises in shaping clay objects, from small unfired bowls to rattles, vases, etc. Readers are also invited in each chapter to reflect on the potential and meaning in each act: using the repetitive and "mindless" task of kneading clay as an opportunity for centering, seeing the work of shaping clay on a wheel as a dialogue between a creator's desire and the potentials in the object; firing as a practice in loosening control and patience. References throughout the text and at the end of the book provide readers who wish to go further--in pottery or reflection--next steps for their exploration.
Bankson brings clarity and authority of experience to her writing--she has been a professional pottery, a seminary student, and president of a national Christian ministry. Her current work includes the creation of unfired burial urns, designed to dissolve and release the ashes of the person they contain back to water or earth.
Bankson's approach grounds her discussion of spirituality in a medium and metaphor that is basic, familiar, and approachable. "We were all mud-loving children once," she writes--pointing out that claywork was discovered and developed in every human culture.
I bought a copy for myself, and it has fired in me a desire to sign up for pottery classes in my local community; another copy is going under the Christmas tree for a relative who is an accomplished potter, and who I hope enjoys the invitation to view this work through another lens--as soulwork.
"Working with clay," writes Bankson, "is a way to get our hands dirty and our minds clear. To reclaim an elemental sense of connection with the earth itself. To bring us home to our bodies. To express our soul's longing for life. To reclaim the sacred act of creation as essential to our wholeness." Who wouldn't want that?

Let go of your pretensions--squeeze, shape, knead & play your way to spiritual growth."I am being formed by the clay. I am reconnecting with the earth, and with the other basic elements, too--air, water, fire--and life itself. Every gesture leaves its trail in the clay. Every fingerprint, a message. My breath fills the cavity. My touch curves the wall of a bowl. And inwardly, I am being formed by the outward practice. I am learning to trust the process, to lean into the possibilities rather than striving for some predetermined goal. I am being hollowed out, stretched and constricted, trimmed and sometimes reworked entirely."-from the PrologueDrawing from her first-hand experience of working with clay, Marjory Zoet Bankson takes you through the seven-step process of making clay into a pot, drawing parallels at each stage to the process of spiritual growth:Grounding--Connecting with our core elementsKneading--Awakening to the inner realmCentering--Gathering everything togetherShaping--Focusing inner and outer pressuresFinishing--Trimming away the excessDecorating--Adding a playful touchFiring--Committing to transformationThis simple connection with the earth has the potential to put you in touch with the whole of creation and, at the same time, your soul's longing to participate as an artist, creating something new and unique.Through reflective questions in each chapter--along with a wealth of unique clay projects that even beginners can do--Bankson invites you on a journey of spiritual discovery, a path of reconnecting with your body and spirit, and with the earth itself."Pairs insight with play in this invitation to inner awakening through creative time with clay. Guides us to embody an almost childlike awareness of the present moment while engaging in the mature work of becoming our fullest selves--for our own sake and that of the world."--Grace G. Ogden, director, Sacred Circles spirituality program, Washington National Cathedral, Washington, D.C. "Rich with wise reflections on the art of living with congruence and integrity so that the outer shape of our lives accurately reflects the inner space. You don't have to become a potter to benefit from this book."--Rev. Thomas Ryan, csp, author, Soul Fire: Accessing Your Creativity"Draws powerful parallels to our own process of spiritual growth, showing us why `the potter and the clay' is one of the most ancient and deep-reaching of all spiritual metaphors."--Parker J. Palmer, author, A Hidden Wholeness

Live Better Longer: The Parcells Center 7-Step Plan for Health and Longevity Review

When I first heard about Hazel Parcell's work on a Gary Null radio broadcast, I was intrigued enough to order the book the next day. I've been studying health and nutrition on my own for the last 12 years, and during that time have found a lot of the information presented by the "experts" contradictory and often confusing. With so many different theories regarding diet and lifestyle changes circulating it became difficult to know who to believe. This book is a refeshing change from all that. In the book, Hazel explains that one diet does not fit all, and that you have to experiment a bit and see what works for you, something I myself have been doing for many years. In addition, she gives lots of valuable information on water purification (her recommendation came as a bit of a surprize to me-it was the first time I had ever heard that theory), special baths for detoxification, the harmful effects of pollution in our enviornment, and cleaning your fruits, veggies, and even meats of toxins and pesticides. She even gives you a detox protocol if you've been exposed to X-rays. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to either improve or maintain their health, especially the beginner. It is filled with some of the most sensible health advice I've ever read. Thanks Hazel and Joseph.
