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.'
While this may sound too far out there for most M.D.'s and conservative medical practitioners, Michael Katz is convinced that crystal healing, when applied methodically and scientifically, will gradually gain acceptance by the conventional medical establishment.
And Mr. Katz does not stand alone in his conviction. Numerous athletes are firm believers in the power of therapeutic quality gem stones. Testimonials can be found on Katz' site from Swedish Olympic Medalist Glen Christiansen, British Olympic Swimmer Mark Foster, Arizona Diamondbacks' Pitcher Tanner Eriksen, and Olympic Trainer and Triathlete Art Dilworth.
Larry King, of Larry King Live, is 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."
The material in Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians is made up of the teachings of twenty-nine 'Gemstone Guardians," each of whom is in charge of a particular gemstone. They tell us of the powers and healing qualities of each stone.
The story is so beautifully written that it reads like a novel... one so good that it's difficult to put down. Probably no other crystal healing book has inspired an interest in crystal healing in so many people who were previously uninitiated in the field, and that is putting it mildly.
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.
Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians has been a perpetual best-seller in the field of crystal healing since its first edition in 1989, when it was published as Gifts of the Gemstone Guardians. Another version of the book titled Gemisphere Luminary was published in 1997.
