In some bibles, there is a thing called a concordance. In the concordance, you can look up any phrase and it will tell where it is in the bible. There is also an introduction to the chapters of the Bible in some bibles. In these introductions, it tells you who the author was, God's grace in the chapter, the background, and some other things. It really comes in handy when you want to know who wrote the chapter and put it in historical background. The concordance comes in handy when you know theres a verse in the Bible, but you don't know where it is in the Bible.

Books of the Bible
The first five books of the Bible are: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. That is whats in the Torah and only that. The Torah is so big that it looks like the whole Old Testement could fit in it! It's hard to believe that it's only five books of the Bible. The Torah is the Jewish holy book. It is usually written in Hebrew, but sometimes it's written in English. You cannot touch the Torah with your bare hands because of the very old parchment paper. It comes with a little silver finger type thing so that you don't lose your spot. I hope you enjoyed a little history of the Torah!

healing words
I learned that words can really hurt a person down deep, but words can also be healing too. For example the whole word has been bitten by a "snake" and we have "the snake bite kit"." Snake" is the sin and the "snake bite kit" is the healing words of God. I also learned that their is alot of unusual remedies for many different things like pickle juice helps muscle cramps and meat tenderizers help insect bites, stings, swellings and wounds.
