Hello, Elegant Readers!
Today is Veteran’s Day and we want to take a moment to thank and honor the men and women who served our nation, keeping us free and safe. We need to remember that we live in a country where our freedoms are often taken for granted. One of those freedoms is reading and study the Word of God. In some countries you can actually be arrested and put into jail just for having a Bible in your possession. It can be hard to believe that even in the 21st century, not everyone has this privilege.
Reading and studying the Word of God is critical in every Christian’s walk with God. I know that my life would easily get off track if I did not take time to read the Word, listen to the Word and most importantly, study the Word. Reading and listening are the first steps, but studying the Word and learning how to apply the Word to your everyday life is where your life will begin to change.
Knowing how to study the Word is often a challenge, especially if you have never done it before. A good way to start is to find a good quality study bible that will provide you with everything that you need in one book. One such Bible is the Tony Evans Study Bible.
In collaboration with LEV3L Digital, I had an opportunity to get a sneak peek look into this newly released Bible, and to provide you with my views of it.

Tony Evans serves as the senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, TX with a congregation of nearly 10,000 people. He is also the founder of The Urban Alternative, a ministry that promotes a kingdom agenda philosophy designed to enable people to live all of life underneath the comprehensive rule of God. With almost fifty years serving as a pastor and teacher, Evans has taken his wealth of knowledge of the Word and put it into an all-in-one Study Bible. If you have not used a Study Bible, you will want to start with the “How To Use This Study Bible” section. The introductory section explains all of the features of the Bible and explains how to utilize them in your Bible study.

Tony Evans Study Bible
The Tony Evans Study Bible features:
– An elegant design of faux leather
– Study notes crafted from Evans’ sermons and writings
– 40 inspirational articles and 50 “Lessons on Kingdom Living” written by Evans
– “Questions & Answers” to help you understand complex issues found in the Bible
– “Hope Words” to help motivate you in your spiritual growth
– Over 150 videos of sermons accessible from the Bible via a QR code or web address
– Devotionals and Teachings that help you apply the scriptures to your everyday life
– An introductory section for each book with historical background and its message and theme
– Charts that explain details of theological and doctrinal topics
– Definitions of key terms and doctrines of the Christian faith
– A concordance to help you find keywords and phrases within the Bible
– Bible reading plan to guide you through reading the entire Bible
– Full-color maps of where the Bible evens happened
The Tony Evans Study Bible features the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible® (CSB). The CSB stays as literal as possible to the Bible’s original meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage with Scripture’s life-changing message and to share it with others. The Bible is written in the English Standard Version (ESV) and the words are in medium easy to read size font.
Being in the digital age, our life is filled with many opportunities to have the Bible at our fingertips on our phone, our tablet or on the computer. However, I believe that having an old-fashioned printed copy of a bible is the best way to truly study the Word of God. When you have to spend time going back and forth in the Bible, comparing scriptures, looking for charts and maps, and reading devotions; I have not found a digital version that does it as good as the Tony Evans Study Bible. The Bible retails for $69.99 and became available on November 1.

In collaboration with LEV3L Digital, we are hosting a giveaway where one blessed reader will receive his or her own copy of this Tony Evans Study Bible.

Hello, Elegant People!
I hope you are having an awesome week.
I have just one question for you. What happened to Fall? When Fall began, we were experiencing temperatures in the 90s. And this past week, we have had temps in the 30s. I like it cold, but I hope we get some more fall days in there. But in the meantime, it is good to cuddle up with a warm blanket and a good cup of hot tea on these cold days.
Here is your chance to win a great autumn throw.
It’s time for giveaway #3 of the annual Season of Giveaways at Katherines Corner.
I’m joining Katherine and her hostesses this week to bring you a giveaway every Saturday until Dec.14th, that’s 8 Giveaways!

Hello, Elegant People!
I hope you had an awesome weekend!
My hubby and I finished painting and organizing our office. There always seems to be a project or two that needs to be done around the house, so having that extra hour was much needed.
We noticed that the Christmas-movie season is in full swing. Whether it is the classics that we have seen every year or the new releases in theaters, there is something about a Christmas movie that can warm your heart on a cold winter day. One of those movies that you want to see this holiday season is CHRISTMAS JARS.

In CHRISTMAS JARS, we are introduced to Hope, an aspiring newspaper journalist. After a series of heartbreaking events, Hope has to decide if she will sacrifice her personal convictions in order to get that big break that she has been wanting.
Based on the book by Jason F. Wright and produced by Brigham Young University, CHRISTMAS JARS will renew your faith that there are still good people out there who are doing good things for others. My hubby and I had an opportunity to see the movie a few weeks ago. We enjoyed the movie and believe that the message is one that will resonate with many people. You do not want to miss your chance to see this inspiring and heartfelt movie. CHRISTMAS JARS will be shown in theaters one day only — Monday, November 4th. To purchase tickets at a theater near you, click HERE!

In collaboration with LEV3L Digital, we also hosted a giveaway to give one of our readers a DVD copy of the movie. We are pleased to announce the winner is
Stephanie K.
Congratulations Stephanie! We will be in contact with you about claiming your DVD copy of the movie.
We want to say, “Thank You!!” to everyone who entered the giveaway and be on the lookout for the next one, coming soon to our blog.

Greetings, Elegant Lovelies!
I pray that your week has been filled with much joy, peace, and love.
As we begin the preparation for the holidays, I think about which cookies I will be making for myself and my hubby. The aroma of freshly baked cookies filtering throughout the house brings a smile to my heart. While we cannot be baking cookies all of the time, the aroma can linger with having the right candle.
The annual Season of Giveaways continues and I’m joining Katherines Corner and her hostesses for giveaway 2! There are 8 giveaways this year. A new one every Saturday until Dec.14th.

Hello, Elegant Lovelies,
Summer is definitely in the air and last night was fireworks outside until 1:00 am. The humidity is thick and it’s been raining almost every day with periodic sun. For the first time this summer our Hibiscus trees are starting to bloom and it’s so beautiful. Although the flowers are beautiful the trend in the weather makes me dress more in natural fiber clothing and carry non-patent leather bags.
I’m joining Katherine, from Katherines Corner for her Bali Bag Giveaway!
The Bali bag is perfect for going to church, the movies, friends barbecue, or going out to dinner for a fun night out.
Please enter the giveaway!
