title: The Food Storage Bible
author:  Jayne Benkendorf 
description: "Dear Jayne, I want to thank you for your efforts in researching and publishing such informative and helpful books. Please take care of yourself so that you can continue to educate me and other readers. In today's world of junk food and untruthful or misleading food labels, we need all the help we can get." -- <i>Susan Langston, San Francisco, CA</i><br /><br />"Dear Mrs. Benkendorf, I have recently purchased a copy of your book, The Food Storage Bible, which I heard about on American Family Radio Station in Forest, Mississippi. I had given up on trying to keep up with the names of harmful preservatives in foods and reading labels. I was so excited when I began to read The Food Storage Bible. Your system of identifying and categorizing has really made it possible for me to focus again on eliminating, or at least limiting, harmful substances from my foods." -- <i>June Watson, Ridgeland, MS</i>

  To Steve, my wonderful husband: without you none of this would have been
  possible. I depend on you. I am so thankful for you and your support through
  this process. The Lord knew exactly what he was doing when he gave me to you.
