People, who used Have You Got Mustard? study guide
to grow their faith, have asked me when I might do another Bible
Study. This summer I put together three books to cover studying
the New Testament (NT). These guides are in a study series based on
my Grandma's Bible. Each book includes my Grandma’s notes and
selected verses she highlighted for personal study.
Every Christian should know what the
Holy Bible says for themselves. Study guides help
Christians dive deeper into God’s Word. All Christians should study Acts and Revelation so they know what is there. Studying the Gospel is an excellent way for new Christians to learn who
Jesus is. Some say the four Apostles writing the Gospels seem to report things differently or even contradict each other. Consider how a detective investigates and interviews multiple witnesses. Each witness give the detective information based on their viewpoint so he can form the full story of what actually happened. So each Apostle shares the story of Jesus from their unique perspective.
Below are details on these books and the subtitles link to Amazon to purchase 5x8” paperback or Kindle ebook . For group study, discussion questions are provided at the end of each Bible book covered.
1. Grandma's Bible: Letters to the Body of Christ is
on the letters to the seven churches from the Apostle Paul, published June 18, 2018.

The Bible books covered include:
I Corinthians II Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians I Thessalonians II Thessalonians |
2. Grandma's Bible: Letters to the Followers of Christ
is on letters to Christians, published July 10, 2018.
|
 |
Books covered include:
II Timothy Titus Philemon Hebrews James I Peter II Peter I John II John III John Jude |
3. Grandma's Bible: The Gospel and Signs of Christ is on the 4 Gospels, so Christians learn
who Jesus is. It includes signs of Jesus in "The Acts of the
Apostles" and of his second coming in "Revelation of Saint John the
Divine", published July 24, 2018.

The Bible books covered include:
Mark Luke John Acts Revelation |
Why did I
choose these cover colors? Green is for spiritual Growth, which was the purpose of letters written to Christians. Red represents Words (and Blood) of Christ, so the books of the Bible in that guide include
lots of red-letter text for Jesus speaking.
All the above guides recommend studying the Bible
using at least two versions and have lots of space for note-taking. This can be done with versions of print
Bibles or on-line. Verses in these Bible Study guides to re-read are formatted so they may be easily copied from e-book version to paste into electronic Bibles. Underlined verses are those that included a handwritten margin note by my Grandma, which shows in the image at beginning of personal study.
BibleGateway.com is an excellent
source of multiple Bible versions on-line.
Check out how
to view multiple versions on one screen from their instructional blog
post. If you want to dive deeper for
your notes, BibleGateway also has a few FREE options under the Study link. This link is to the
right of the verses. To find out about these options, check out how
to use commentaries, study Bibles, and more on their blog.
Interesting finds in the week following publication of last book in NT series when doing searches of my chosen series name. I found a few wonderful things to share. On the Godly Women Blog, I found examples of Christian grandmothers, each of which reminded me of parts of my own Grandma's character. On Nona Kelley Carver's poetry site, I found a poem about her Grandma's Bible. (You can find my poetry ebooks or my business books on my blogs.) Also there was that this old "Grandma's Bible" song from 2008 album recording by the Heritage Singers. These song lyrics emphasize the importance of both Grandmas and the Holy Bible. You can still buy the vintage CD on Amazon or on the singers website from the link above. Lastly, I found this audio story regarding a lost/found Grandma's Bible on Guidelines International Ministry site.
