I know for many people, this week has been filled with extreme shock and sorrow for what has happened to the Israeli people. Many people do not realize that these events are rooted in the foundation of the Old Testament. To understand these events from a biblical point of view,
we need to read and study the Old Testament to know who everyone is and how their decisions and actions caused the turmoil we see today. For some, myself included, the challenge is keeping all the people and events clear to know how to talk about them effectively.
When I read through and study the Bible, I believe having a companion study tool like The Old Testament Handbook is essential when I have questions or want to dive deeper. The Old Testament Handbook is broken down by book and pulls out the necessary details to grasp the bigger narrative. You can use the handbook as a companion tool after reading the Old Testament book or as a stand-alone piece if you want to focus only on the essential parts.

Good Afternoon, Elegant Ones
Blessings that you are having a fantastic day!
I look forward to cooler weather and watching the leaves turn colors and fall from the trees. My hubby told me about an omega block over the Midwest, where we have seen temperatures in the 90s this past week. I am looking forward to those cool breezes.
In collaboration with Lifeway Christian Resources, our team had the opportunity to review a new tool during your daily bible study — The Old Testament Handbook.The Old Testament Handbookfeatures the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible. The CSB captures the Bible’s original meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage with Scripture’s life-transforming message and to share it with others.
My hubby and I are reading through the Bible with the Chronological Reading plan with Tara Leigh Cobble and the Bible Recap on YouVersion. We finished the Old Testament this weekend and are now moving on to the New Testament. I enjoy reading the Bible in hard copy, but I also listen on my smartphone and iPad.
Do you prefer reading the Bible in hard copy form or listening to the Bible on audio or both ways?
When I read through and study the Bible, I believe having a companion study tool is good when I have questions or want to dive deeper. Many parts of the Old Testament can be confusing or difficult to understand, so having a companion tool like The Old Testament Handbook is essential.
TIP: You can ask the Lord to give you revelation on anything you do not understand. Write down your questions when you are reading, and when the revelations come to you, note what you learned.
Do you want to dive deeper into the Word Of God? The Old Testament Handbook is the tool you need to understand better.

As I read my Bible, I remember the many places Jesus walked. I have often thought a trip to the Holy Land would be the perfect vacation, so much so that I even named one of my puppies Israel.
The new documentary Route 60: The Biblical Highway follows David Friedman and Mike Pompeo as they journey along Route 60 in Israel. The two political leaders traveled the 146-mile road from Nazareth in the north to Beersheba in the south, sharing Biblical and personal stories of the sites. They tread the same ground Abraham, Jacob, King David, and Jesus once walked. Today, Route 60 connects Jews, Christians, Muslims, Israelis, Palestinians, truthfully, every one of us.
The documentary played in theaters for only two days this past week. However, you can preorder the film’s DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital Download in mid-October 2023.

Ever since I was a young child, I have been reading and studying my Bible. The story of Jesus and His disciples, Joseph and his brothers, and Noah and the animals are as much a part of my life as anything else. I often wonder what it would be like to visit these sites and to see it for myself.
The new documentary Route 60: The Biblical Highway explores some of these sites through the eyes of David Friedman and Mike Pompeo. Freidman served as the United States Ambassador to Israel from 2017 to 2021, while Pompeo served as Secretary of State from 2018 to 2021. Friedman and Pompeo explore the significance of the historic Route 60 that connects modern-day Israel with the ancient Israel we read about in the Bible. The two political leaders traveled the 146-mile road from Nazareth in the north to Beersheba in the south, sharing Biblical and personal stories of the sites. They tread the same ground Abraham, Jacob, King David, and Jesus once walked. Today, Route 60 connects Jews, Christians, Muslims, Israelis, Palestinians, truthfully every one of us.
Watch the trailer here:
Route 60: The Biblical Highway will only be in theaters on September 18th and 19th. To purchase tickets for a theater near you, click HERE!
“ROUTE 60 combines the truth of the Bible with undeniable archaeological proof, and like our tour guides, Pompeo and Friedman, that’s a powerful combination!” –

Please be aware that the products you use on your body or at home may be harmful and make you sick. It’s time to look through your medicine cabinet to see if any of your items have talcum powder as one of its ingredients. Look closely at the things as if you were a detective solving a case.
Drugwatch.com states talcum powder is derived from talc, a soft and naturally occurring mineral used in baby powders, makeup, deodorant, ceramics, and paint. Some research links talc to ovarian cancer and talc contaminated with asbestos to mesothelioma. To learn more about talcum powder and its dangers, click HERE. To learn more about talc and its use in cosmetics, click HERE!
Johnson & Johnson, one of the major companies that used talc for many years, announced in August 2022 that they would stop selling talc-based baby powder globally in 2023. The company faced thousands of lawsuits that claim its product causes cancer. The company insists the decision is purely financial and has nothing to do with the product’s safety. However, in April 2023, they agreed to an $8.9 billion talc settlement. According to a DrugWatch articlethat outlines the settlement, asbestos was found in a batch of talc. This settlement is a long time coming but will not bring back those whose loved ones passed away.
Talc is not only in baby powder or makeup. It is also found in these unexpected products, like ceramics and paper.
If you have not cleaned out your medicine cabinet or your beauty bag in a long time, now is the time. Look at what you have, check out the ingredients, and dispose of anything that has talc or talcum powder as one of its ingredients. More options are available that are safer and better for you.
