<p>As a Pre-Grammar this book is intended as a prelude leading to New Testament (NT) Greek studies. (1) It focuses on why the pursuit of Greek as a spiritual discipline can be an exciting adventure that forever changes the way one reads the Bible; and (2) it gives one a taste of the language&mdash;a kind of &ldquo;jump start.&rdquo; Each chapter is divided into two sections:</p><p>I. SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE (with various titles) &nbsp;&nbsp;The first section of each chapter is the primary focus of the book. &nbsp;It emphasizes and illustrates why the pursuit of NT Greek can be a spiritual discipline: &nbsp;a life-long encounter with biblical texts &nbsp;a spiritual journey.</p><p>Chapters 1-3 briefly describe spiritual disciplines and why the pursuit of NT Greek belongs here.&nbsp;<br />Chapters 4-10 lay out seven (7) benchmarks one for each chapter. &nbsp;By looking at one specific text from the Gospel of Matthew (13:52) these chapters highlight the pursuit of NT Greek as one way of serving God: &nbsp;a truly spiritual discipline. &nbsp;<br />II. TIME FOR GREEK (always this title) The second section of each chapter offers some very basic Greek enough to give readers a taste for the language. This is not a &ldquo;shortcut&rdquo; to learning Greek. (There is no such thing!) Here a mere taste of Greek is offered at a light pace a kind of &ldquo;jump start&rdquo; into the language or maybe like a &ldquo;sampler&rdquo; in a restaurant. &nbsp;This small amount of the language is intended to help one see the larger picture as a way of serving God and to whet the appetite for taking the next step. &nbsp;&nbsp;A focus only or even primarily on the Greek part of this book will result in missing&nbsp;the point of the book.</p><p>TABLE OF CONTENTS &nbsp;<br />Explanation of Chapter Format:&nbsp;&nbsp;9<br />Master List: &nbsp;The 7 Spiritual Benchmarks&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11<br />1 A GREEK EXPERIENCE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13<br />2 A SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21<br />3 A TIME TO SOW&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;31<br />4 SCRIBES&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;39<br />5 TRAINED&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;47<br />6 KINGDOM OF HEAVEN&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;55<br />7 HOUSEHOLD MANAGER&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;69<br />8 TREASURE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;83<br />9 NEW&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;93<br />10 OLD&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;103<br />APPENDIX&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;119</p>
