Former Oakland Raiders running back turned Pastor, Jerone Davison has felt the calling to minister to single people. As a result, Davison has written his first book, "The Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman."
"The Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman" begins with an examination of prophetic smell. According to the book: "Prophetic smell is having a connection and sensitivity to the Spirit of the Lord by way of spiritual smell."
Then, Davison delves into the heart of the spiritual fragrances of a woman: "the nine fragrances in Song of Solomon 4:13, the fruits of the Spirit found in Galations 5:22 and the gifts of the Spirit in I Corinthians 12:7-11."
These spiritual attributes cannot be purchased at a local store. They come from a deeper walk with the Lord in prayer and in His word. Davison's book clearly points the way. Those fragrances acquired by the woman seeking them will be received by a spiritual man. To him, the aroma of a Godly woman is a blessing.
Jerone Davison then takes us travelling back in time to the days of Solomon and his wife. The author explains that the Song of Solomon reveals how to seek a companion as well as how to enjoy the commitment of marriage.
This inspiring, prolific writer, Davison, walks the reader through each of the 9 fragrance 'rooms' which are explained in great detail. These 9 fragrances are camphire, spikenard, saffron, calamus, cinnamon, frankincense, myrrh, aloes and chief spices. Each room and each explanation are backed by a good supply of corresponding scriptures that help to understand the significance of each spiritual fragrance.
"Spiritual Fragrance" also conveys the importance of a man's spiritual nose. Davison writes that a woman should strive to find a Godly man who is attracted to her spiritual fragrance, as opposed to so many physically attracted relationships that end in tragedy. Ladies shouldn't have to settle for second best.
The book also addresses "Dead Men's Bones", which are describing men who are dead in their sin. Stay away from them or be tainted with their 'disease', says Davison.
"The Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman" reveals the Bible's 'beauty secret' which is the transforming power of humility before God. Jerone warns to be on guard for the plague of pride.
The author focuses on why good women end up with bad men. He reminds us that the road to a good marriage is paved with multiple good decisions. Women may encounter bad men who can't wait until marriage, identified in the book as 'fragrance haters.' This guide encourages ladies to walk past these men to maintain their fragrance, fruit and gifts.
Davison gives advice on Christian dating and gives all singles some great tips for finding God's best in a sea of 'zeros', 'wannabes' and 'Deacon So-close'. The book has a great sense of humor while maintaining clear objectives with serious issues. "The Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman" is the perfect gift of Biblically sound principles for all single ladies seeking a balance between finding a mate while honoring the Lord.
Pastor Davison deals with the 'odor of decay' and all the smells associated with sin that repel the spiritual man.
For all of the above points and much, much more, Jerone L. Davison has compiled the ultimate guide for single ladies. It will guide our daughters, sisters and single mothers to seek God's will, to receive God's redemption and to attract a Godly man. It provides great hope and great direction. Also, this book is valuable for men as well.
I heartily recommend Pastor Jerone Davison's "The Spiritual Fragrance of a Woman." Please visit Jerone L. Davison at spiritualfragrance.org and you can buy this essential book at Amazon.com.
