Greek is Good Grief


Book Description

Designed as a textbook for teaching introductory Greek grammar and syntax, Greek Is Good Grief uses a graded database, beginning with the simpler Greek of John 1, moving to Mark 8 as an example of middle level Greek, and concluding with 1 Thessalonia-ns 1-2 as representative of Paul's style. Working from that database, the chapters introduce first those forms which occur most frequently. Translation of the Greek New Testament itself can begin as early as Chapter 5 because translation helps are provided for those words and forms not yet encountered. The practice sentences in each chapter are, to the greatest degree possible, based on sentences taken directly from the Greek New Testament. Form identification exercises afford students the opportunity to drill on forms specific to the content of each chapter. Each new grammatical concept is introduced by a discussion of English grammar and each chapter begins with a "Grammar Grabber," which highlights an aspect of the chapter's content by explaining how that aspect of grammar is important for understanding a portion of the Greek text of the New Testament. Field tested in both face-to-face and distance learning course formats, Greek Is Good Grief lays the foundation for a smooth transition to the study of Greek exegesis and exposition.

Well Connected


Book Description

Conference calls, faxes, email, the World Wide Web. With so many powerful ways to communicate-why do I feel so alone? If you're feeling increasingly disconnected from the rest of the world, says communications expert Dianna Booher, you have plenty of company. The fact is that while technology can do many things, it cannot nurture our souls. However, this book can. The inspirational stories found on these pages not only feed our spirits, they remind us of our need to nurture the spirits of others. They illustrate the power each of us has to influence the attitudes, actions and eternal destinies of those around us-"one person at a time, one situation at a time, and one interaction at a time." We need one another, Booher claims. The connections we make with the people God places in our lives-friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances, neighbors, strangers-provide us with nourishment, insight, and emotional strength. In essence, plugging into others powers our souls. "You're the same today as you'll be in five years-except for the people you meet and the books you read," Dianna Booher quotes a friend. Make it a point to meet someone new. And read this book. It will change the way you see the world-and help you reshape it into a place where every individual is valued, respected and loved.
