During the years, our family has come across many insightful and beneficial resources which we've used or which have helped someone we know in one way or another. Please note we may not agree with all of the information presented on these sites listed below, We have taken advantage of what lines up with our convictions through discernment and wisdom. We hope that some of these resources will be of help to you and your family as well.


SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION

Above Rubies ~~ This family has been encouraging others for the past 32 years.  Their motto, "Encouraging women in their high calling as wives, mothers and homemakers".  Here you'll find devotionals, articles, and forums where women can seek or offer advice in different areas.  This family has been a blessing to me.  Above Rubies also publishes a magazine, please click here to learn more.

Ancient Hebrew Research Center~~A wonderful place if you are wanting to learn biblical Hebrew word definitions. Mr. Benner has spent thousands of hours in research and study. He has attempted to use as many resources as he could from the fields of history, linguistics, archeology, anthropology and theology in order to uncover the original Hebrew alphabet, language, thought and culture.A wonderful site indeed with a plethora of information.

Bible Study Tools ~~ If you are looking for help with your own bible study, this site has many resources. These include, different bible translation, the interlinear and parallel bible, commentaries, dictionaries, commentaries and more. I really enjoy using the interlinear bible.

Covenant to Life ~~Within Scripture, our Creator reveals His intent and workings with all humanity. He especially calls out one people, the Israelites. These people are given a Covenant relationship which will last forever. It is generally not appreciated that, without exception, all people who are HIS, are so through covenant. This video series uses the Tanakh to reveal the Creator's plans for Israel, and the Gentile, in the past and forever.

Feelin Feminine ~~ An online magazine for ladies.  The focus is to offer more inspirational and challenging articles surrounding the topics of femininity and being set-apart.

Living Word Pictures ~~ Dr. Seekins who has been studying Hebrew word pictures/ancient paleo Hebrew for over 26 years helps us decipher the ancient pictures to help us understand the percepts of scripture.   There is an incredible power in pictures and there are some pictures that elegantly describe Biblical precepts of life.  Although no one could place even a masterpiece on the level as scripture, they are incredible tools that can help us remember and teach Biblical precepts.

Sowers Of Hope ~~ This site offers many modesty resources through articles, audios and videos.   Sowers of Hope is dedicated to sharing the Truth according to the Bible.

Talking Torah Ministries~~ This ministry is focused on teaching more of our Heavenly Father's ways, which includes the set apart days found in the Tanakh(Old Testament). We have been enjoy listening to the Torah portions via pod casts.

Torah Class ~~ We have used this site as reference as well as listened to some of their audios. Tom Bradford is thorough in his teachings of a Biblical and Messianic perspective. As a homeschooling family, we have definitely benefited from his teachings as we learn more of the Torah.

Training Daughters, Teaching Wives ~~ I have recently been told about this site. As a mother teaching my daughter to be a servant and training her to be a wife one day, I am inspired by this group of ladies in helping not only daughters in their roles but also continuing to train me as a wife to my husband. They do also have a sister site which encourages young ladies in modesty.

Wild Branch Ministry ~~ The WildBranch focus is to restore the ways of our Creator to His people by teaching the Old and New Testaments from the language and culture of the people who penned them. The New Testament is crammed full of idioms, phrases, and concepts known to the observant Jew (Y^ehudim) living in the time of Yeshua's ministry, but unfamiliar to modern readers. The Scriptures must be read through the eyes and minds of the culture in which it was written.
