As a teenager I was high maintenance, but as the years went by I still had all the makeup and products but I seemed to have less time and inclination to use them. The same thing has happened with the time I spend with God. I have my bible, study books and my favorite quiet place and yet I always seem too busy to put them to use. In OASIS we are reminded of the importance of taking care of ourselves, not only physically, but also spiritually. The author does a wonderful job of taking fifteen subjects (ex.-the face, fragrance, the body) and not only explaining the physical aspects, conditions and results of taking care of ourselves but also the spiritual side of each of these subjects. Each chapter is sprinkled with scripture that supports the topic. There are many shared beauty secrets and rituals throughout the book. Mrs. Everson also displays a good deal of humor in her writing. It reminded me that, even with a subject that explains the seriousness of taking care of ourselves( both physically and spiritually), one of our best beauty assets is the ability to smile and laugh. Even though I read this book on my own, I think it would be a great book for a women's small group. The questions at the end of each chapter could lead to a lively and reflective discussion. I would recommend to women of all ages. It reminds us that, even with all our worldly products that keep our outward appearance beautiful, our true beauty comes from within and is given to us by the One who sacrificed everything for us. It reminds us that we should spend at least as much time with Him as we do taking care of our physical appearance. Review submitted by Suzi Justice, Book review coordinator for Spiritrestoration.org
