First and Second MaccabeesThese accounts of the Maccabean revolt, by which the sons of Mattathias reclaimed the temple of Jerusalem, tell an important story of the founding of the Jewish people. "The Hammerers" is the meaning of the nickname "Maccabees," given to Mattathias's sons, who lived in a time of revolution.

These accounts of the Maccabean revolt, by which the sons of Mattathias reclaimed the temple of Jerusalem, tell an important story of the founding of the Jewish people. "The Hammerers" is the meaning of the nickname "Maccabees," given to Mattathias's sons, who lived in a time of revolution. Empires struggled for control of Greece, Egypt, and Asia, and the small population of Jews tried to preserve their claim to Judea. The five brothers also made heroic contributions to the practice of Judaism. Their rededication of the temple establishes the annual celebration of Hanukkah, and the martyr stories in Second Maccabees emphasize faithfulness to the law of Moses.

The books of First and Second Maccabees are also important for Christians, as in them is told how the Jewish people established the political and religious culture into which Jesus was born. The martyr stories inform the early Christian martyrdoms, and the books are written in Greek, the language in which the Jews of Jesus' time read the Scriptures. As Father Harrington notes, without the Maccabees "the fate of Judaism (and with it Christianity and Islam) was uncertain."

Such a good book!
Format: Hardcover
I really enjoyed this! I felt at ease and so much more calmer about pregnant . Megan wrote this book so well and in a way that makes you feel like you’re in a safe space and like you’re talking to a friend . It’s raw, it’s real, it’s funny and so honest.

Eh. It was ok. Good for a laugh not for realistic expectations
Format: Hardcover
The book was alright. I appreciated the jokes and style of writing, like a GenZ approach. She’s obviously very funny! However it’s written by a celebrity with massive amounts of money. While she acknowledges her privilege, it felt like a filler line. She goes on and on about out of touch items she had during her pregnancy which really rubbed me the wrong way. I appreciated her chapter on infertility and fertility treatments. Overall I guess I’m glad I bought it and read it. It made me feel a little less lonely. But not something I’d recommend to a friend.

A fun read for new moms!
Format: Kindle
I got it as soon as I read “I’m I pregnant or is it just a fart” during my TWW, can’t wait for a part 2.

Finally a Place to Store All those Soap Pieces! Self-Lathering, Exfoliating, Good Quality, Love it!
Style: Sport
These soap saver pouches are a really nice upgrade to using regular bar soap and a loofah or washcloth. I love that I can just drop in a full bar, along with all those tiny leftover pieces, and still get great use out of them, while also getting a nice scrub that has a good exfoliating texture without feeling too harsh. It's a medium-like "grit" so just be aware, and both sides feel equally scrubby, and the inner pad material helps the soap foam up easily when you rub it together, making it feel efficient. The three-pack with different colors is convenient for multiple bathrooms or spares, and the little inner loop lets you cinch the opening so smaller soap bits don’t fall out. It does need to be hung to dry since it holds onto moisture, and your soap may go a bit faster because of that constant self-lathering as you use it, but it’s not too bad, and a fair trade-off for how easy and effective it is. All in all, these are well-designed and genuinely useful. Definitely recommended!

Exfoliating, durable, helps bars of soap last much longer.
Style: Sport
Am very happy with the convenience and longevity of this product. In addition the exfoliating properties they really do help make my bars of (sometimes quit expensive) soap in the shower last a lot longer - as much as 3 to 5 times as long. I simply hang it up or place on a shower caddy after rinsing the excess suds off and no more soft, soggy bars of leftover soap laying around. Having tried many different versions of these and I find this style is the easiest to get to properly hold onto any odd shaped or larger bars of soap without the soap accidentally popping out in the shower during use. They also seem to outlast many of the other soap savers. They don’t unexpectedly start unraveling after just a few uses like some of the bath poufs tend to do.
