Goodreads asked Lynn U. Watson:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lynn U. Watson God wove the story of essential oils into our world on the third day when He created vegetation on the earth. Twelve years ago essential oils intersected a crossroads in my life. Growing knowledge of them opened Scriptures in a meaningful, new way. I found myself particularly fascinated with the locked garden filled with its fruits, spices, and essential oils described in Song of Solomon. These dozen trips around the sun, God nudged me to share a fresh perspective. The vision evolved into something quite different from the original plan. I'm certain it is exactly as God intended. By a series of “God-incidences,” He released this work in His perfect timing and by His inspired design. (Excerpted from "The Essence of Courage."
