My name is Amelia Acker. I am nine years old. I get your magazine. I really enjoy it. I would like to be a Biblical archaeologist when I grow up. Even though your magazine is for adults, I still read it. I think you should do a issue on the Canaanites. I also think you should put in a game or a crossword puzzle at the end of your magazine, maybe even a kid’s page.

As a Bible student and an intense Israel-watcher for at least 50 years, and as a 10-year subscriber to BAR, I have found this last years’ issues less interesting than any of the previous ones.
