The one with her nose in books all the time. The one with a stack of library books up to her chin. The one who got caught reading under her desk in school (usually during math class). Among all those lovely books that 'addled my brain' as a young girl, the ones that became my best friends were the historical novels—the ones whose rich details and long-ago adventures took me to Regency England, Ancient Israel, the Civil War Era South, hidden rooms in WWII Amsterdam, Colonial America and into the Wild West. It was these stories that brought history to life in a way that schoolbooks never could, and fueled a desire to imagine myself in these times and places that would eventually spill over into my own writing. Since my first book was published in 2016 my books have appeared on numerous bestseller lists, have won both Christy and Carol Awards and have sold thousands of copies all over the world in several languages.And none of it would have ever happened without those first knee-shaking steps of faith and a God whose faithfulness and goodness far outweighs my doubts and insecurities.Thank you for stopping by, I'd love to connect with you on Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter and you are welcome to drop me an email at connilyn@connilyncossette.com.

In the final episode of this season, Maresha sits down with a few family and friends (Herman, Shaliyah, Keerica, Nadia and Tiona) to further discuss the senseless tragedy.
In this episode, we talk about the many dimensions you can discover when exploring the ruins of Tel Maresha/ Beit Guvrin in the Jerusalem foothills. The ruins above the surface are incredible enough to justify a visit but what you can find by spelunking or participating in an actual archaeological dig in the 5500 bell caves below the surface is spectacular. Maresha- Beit Guvrin has been designated as a UNESC World Heritage Site.
A rare assemblage of “astragali”—animal knuckle bones used for gaming and divination—dating from the Hellenistic period some 2,300 years ago has been uncovered in the Maresha-Bet Guvrin National Park in southern Israel. The exceptionally large collection, the results of which were first published recently in the British archaeological journal Levant, was discovered by Dr. Ian Stern several years ago in underground caves beneath the ancient city of Maresha. He told reporter Arieh O'Sullivan that many of the bones had Greek inscriptions on them and were likely used by the mosaic of cultures living side by side in the cosmopolitan city of that day.

If you heard episode 2 of season 1 then you know I am obsessed with the history of caves in Palestine. The caves in the mountains were formed by a natural process due to the effect of rain on the limestone that created natural caves. But in this episode you can learn about another type of caves that can be found in the area to the west of Hebron, west of the green line, where over 3.500 man-made caves were found that date back to more than 2000 years ago. The caves were made in the soft chalk layer under a very hard layer called nari. In this hard surface rock they made an opening and through a shaft they would dig down into the softer chalk, forming a bell-shaped cave. The caves had very many different purposes, for example storage of water, grains, olive presses, ritual baths, columbaria (for pigeons) and burial caves.Today you can visit some of these caves in the National Park. Other interesting relics are the Roman amphitheater, the Crusader tower and the remains of a Crusader church.There were two ancient cities here, Maresha and Bet Guvrin. The archaeological site is now UNESCO world heritage.Around the Crusader tower a Palestinian town developed that was called Beit Jibrin. The inhabitants were forcibly displaced by the Zionist militias in 1948. Most of the refugees ended up in Fawwar camp and in Beit Jibrin refugee camp. The latter one in Bethlehem is also known as Azza refugee camp, named after the biggest family clan.

We often make the process of life kind of complicated. Even the teachings of many personal growth and human potential teachers is complex. We have to visualize, hold specific frequencies of energy, think positive - never waiver in our striving to live an evolved life… But what if the path of living a good life is a simple process of untangling the mind and simply being present to the nature of the heart of who we truly are. If Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad, and the Divine Mother were to meet in conversation, what would each think of the other's spiritual points of views?
