Book Review: Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians

A number of things set Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians apart from other books on crystal healing. In particular the fact that it makes no secret of being channeled from the spirit world. It's even in the title, presenting the book as 'wisdom' from the 'guardians of the gemstones.'

Although this may be a tad much for orthodox medical practitioners, author Michael Katz none-the-less believes this young science, which he refers to as Gemstone Energy Medicine, will continue to grow and become increasingly mainstream.

And he is not alone in that belief. Many top athletes testify to the power of the gemstones as described in this book, including Mark Foster, British Olympic Swimmer, Glen Christiansen, Swedish Olympic Medalist, Tanner Eriksen, Pitcher, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Art Dilworth, Triathlete, Professional and Olympic Trainer.

Another celebrity testimonial comes from Larry King, of Larry King Live, who can be found quoted on the sleeve of the 1997 edition of this book as saying, "Some inner voice told me to read this book. Thank you, inner voice. What a remarkable study."

In Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians, the text consists exclusively of the direct teachings and wisdom of the spirit beings that go by the name of the Gemstone Guardians. Each Gemstone Guardian, twenty-nine in all, shares in-depth information about the qualities of the particular gemstone that they are in charge of.

Even though Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians is technically speaking a non-fiction book, it is so exquisitely well written that it's actually a more enjoyable read, cover to cover, than most novels. It's hard to put down once you've begun reading it, and I've heard of no other book engendering an interest in crystal healing in the previously uninitiated.

It should be noted that Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians is not a reference book on crystals. It is an inspirational story with in-depth information about a select few of the most powerful healing gemstones and crystals available on the market today. If you are looking for a reference book, there are better choices. If you're ready to be set on fire about gemstones, then Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians is the book for you.

The best-selling Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians has been reprinted numerous times. The original title of the book was Gifts of the Gemstone Guardians. A later intermediary edition was sold as Gemisphere Luminary.
