Anthony Eaton’s “Nightpeople” is an interesting deviation to the usual post-apocalyptic fantasy novels, largely in that it has very clear Australian influences, especially indiginous Australian influences, in a way that is easy to read and easy to understand for most age levels. The story is a little bit slow to get underway, and some people [...]
My Bible is a student study Bible, so it has lots of notes here and there and has a brief introduction to each book of the Bible just giving an overview of it and things like that. At the start of Leviticus, it says that many people lose interest in Leviticus when reading through the [...]
This last part of Exodus largely covers God’s requirements of the tabernacle and His instructions on how it should be set up. By and large, the things covered here are things I have gone over before, but there were a few little things here and there that I found quite interesting. Chapter 35 starts off [...]
This part of Exodus is largely based around God’s Ten Commandments, and has some really good life advice in general. In chapter 18, Jethro, Moses’ father in law and the priest of Midian comes to visit after hearing everything that God is doing with the Israelites. In verses 13 to 26, after seeing how Moses [...]
Exodus is an interesting book to read. As it’s name suggests, the main focus of the first half is on the oppression and the Israelites exodus of Egypt. It then covers the ten commandments, and then almost all of the second half is focused entirely on the development of the tabernacle. I didn’t end up [...]
I’ve decided to keep a list of the books I’ve read this year. Mainly because I was aiming to read 52 books. Well, I’m about 4 books behind so far and I think that’s going to get worse, but we’ll see. So here’s my list. The Crooked Letter by Sean Williams. Finished on 06/02/2009. Genesis [...]
It’s great to see a boss pointing these things out to the employees. Sure, a cash handout is great, but ongoing work is much better. Have a read of the letter that this employer sent to his employees here. As a small business owner, I agree with this email entirely, even though I only employ [...]
Chapter’s 48 to 50 of Genesis are where we get to the end of the recount of Joseph’s life and the end of the book of Genesis. The life of Joseph is quite well known, but this is where it gets a bit less known. In chapter 48, we get the second mention of Joseph’s [...]
This section of Genesis largely goes over Joseph’s time in Egypt. Chapter 38 is the recount of Judah, his wife, sons and daughter in law. 39 to 47 are then the majority of Joseph’s time in Egypt, starting with Potiphar in chapter 39 and going from there. There was one thing in this section that [...]
In the 14 chapters of Genesis that I went through this morning, I again noticed a few things I hadn’t picked up on before that I would like to share. The first thing is that, after Jacob’s 14 years of working for Laban to be allowed to marry his daughter Rachel, after being deceived into [...]
