Dr. Overman’s comments:

Jean is my sister, my first friend and playmate. When I was very young, the little, only- child, neighbor girl wanted to trade me a lot of her toys for Jean. Fortunately for me, even at that young age I had enough sense to turn down her offer. Of all my extended family, she is the one who best understands and appreciates God’s call on my life in healing ministry. Our Precision Herbs wholesale customers (healthcare professionals) attest to her caring ministry in their behalf. She, also, was an invaluable spiritual counselor during my recent illness. She is a diligent prayer warrior.

She married Dr. Overman and helped raise a total of eleven children. She has twenty-nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She has five step-grandchildren and two step-great-grandchildren.

Dr. Overman’s comments:

Sharon is one of the bravest people I know. Who else would have married a very peculiar husband with eight children? She answers, saying, she knows for sure that God called her to be my wife and the mother of my children. Believe you me, there have been plenty of times she needed that Divine assurance! Sharon is a beautiful example of redemptive suffering. Over the span of our married life she has suffered every imaginable joint problem and every imaginable heart and circulation problem. She has been the inspiration for formulating dozens of our best herbal products. Hundreds of people have benefited from the results of her suffering. She also has an extraordinary understanding of Christian business principles. She is the “mom” of our employees. She and her son, Dr. Pierce, operated and improved Precision Herbs and Overman’s Healthy Choices during my recent illness.

Dr. Overman’s comments:

Eric has been my son, since I married his mother just before his fourteenth birthday. One day he was having a scrap with one of his five step-brothers. His mother reminded him that he had prayed for a brother. He said, “But, I just wanted one, not five!” In many ways he is more like me than my biological sons. It was a joy to mentor him in natural health. I am particularly proud, that he has become a champion herbal product formulator. He formulated the herbal products that miraculously resulted in my recovery. He and his mother kept Precision Herbs and Overman’s Healthy Choices afloat, during the year of my incapacitation. He demonstrates remarkable wisdom for a man of his age and has been a tremendous help in employee relations at Overman’s Healthy Choices and Precision Herbs.

Writing a book with a medical doctor, that we hope will be titled “The Defilement of the Temple” based on the scripture in 1Co 6:19-20 “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit in you, whom you have of God? And you are not your own, for you are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.” (MKJV)

Dr. Overman’s Comments:

Dr. Reed has been my close friend and soul mate for several years. During my extensive illness he served as my spiritual counselor. He also formulated several new herbal products, by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, which kept me alive through the worst of the ordeal. He conducted weekly health consultations and, laboriously, read my extensive daily log of physical complaints and treatments. He has served as host at several of my seminars in the Tulsa area.
