Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. Good morning! It's almost Sabbath, which means it's almost time to put our feet up and rest. Maybe I'll get to read a book! I love reading, but I struggle to find time for much reading during the week. Maybe that longing for a
good book, a cup of coffee, and a snuggly cat is what made me want to put lots of things about reading in today's newsletter. My goal is to bring a little bit of Scripture, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of hope to your day. I love a good cup of coffee (brewed like this), but if some other drink is more your style, I'm sure that will work. The point is for you to take a break from crazy living, just long enough for a sip of
joy.

Why is it important to teach our children to read instructions? Why do we spend the first ten years (or so) of a child’s life emphasizing basic literacy skills, such as phonics,
spelling, handwriting, and fluency in reading? Why should we expect that a child raised in a Torah-observant household would have a higher ability in reading than a child raised in a pagan home? Read

Read Through the Bible with Your Family This YearBy Anne Elliott, September 30, 2020, FoundationsPress.com
What is the best way for a new believer to be discipled and to learn to study the Bible for herself? What is the best way to teach our children how to know their Bibles? I have mentioned before that my husband gives a teaching on each week’s “Torah Portion” on Sabbath. The early church also made sure new believers read the Torah, or the first five books of the Bible, also known as the books of Moses, every year in their congregations, as well as the Prophets, the Psalms and History books of the Old Testament, and the letters they received from Paul and the other Apostles.
