WE BROUGHT BACK THE JOURNAL!
 
You already know how much we love the Old Testament.  We are counting down the days until January comes.  So many heroes.  So many good stories.  The deliverance and miracles.  This is a study that seems particularly relevant for our time.  
 
Our Old Testament  study tools for next year are out this week.  We think you will LOVE this year’s journal.  It’s the perfect size to carry around with your scriptures. But even better,  every week includes  our most favorite ways to study scripture:
 
  • Things to watch for
  • Key truths
  • Context and Culture that will help your understand the Old Testament
  • Favorite scriptures you might want to mark
  • Digging Deeper, a hands on study page
  • Promises to Covenant Israel from  each week’s reading
  • Personal Reflection questions to help you apply each lesson into your story
  • A Teacher’s Corner with lesson ideas for every week
 
And this is fun.  If you order the full DMT bundle from Good News Brand before Thanksgiving, you will be entered into a weekly drawing for a $100 bundle of your choice from the Good News Brand.
 
If you want to find our products in a shop, you can also find all of our Don’t MIss This tools at Deseret Book and at Pioneer Party in Lehi, Utah.

TIP-INS for Kids
As you discuss the Official Declarations, consider a time when the Lord heard and answered your prayer.
 
TIP-INS for teens
As you study Official Declaration 2 consider the four things that happened before the revelation:
  1. Aware of the promises made by prophets
  2. The faithfulness of those requisition
  3. Long and earnest pleading
  4. Prophetic supplication in the temple
How does this help as you seek divine guidance?
 
TIP-INS for individuals and couples

If we were asked to sum up the doctrine and covenants in two words, it would be these:  ASK GOD.
Maybe you would like a banner like this to hang in your home all year.  If so, you can find it here!
 
 

 
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE TIPINS?
 
We are so excited about the new tip-ins for this year.  Here is what we envisioned when we were creating these… an experience where you can gather with any age group (adults, teens, kids)  to have a meaningful discussion once a week.  All of the tip-ins for every age group work together to create a lesson experience for every age.  Instead of having a separate journal, our hope is that your scriptures will become your journal this year!  You can write your notes in the wide margin scriptures, and place this tip-in inside the pages.  Created so the whole family could study together, and so that you would end the year with a book of scripture filled with the lessons we all study together.  
 
We will walk you through how to use the tip-ins each week during our lesson.  Then you can find a time that works best for your family to study together and do your scripture journaling.  
 
These tip-ins are a combination of facts and context to help you understand each section better, along with questions in worksheet form to allow you to find application from each section in your own life.  It’s the best of both worlds written in a format to fit right inside your scriptures so you will never forget the learning from this Doctrine and Covenants year. 
 
 

 
We love studying with you!
grace and David
