Description: My First Introduction to the New Testament is for young readers of middle school age who may cherish the presentation Bibles given to them when they were younger but wonder just how to engage with biblical literature. Church school teachers may want to use it for a yearlong class because most chapters can be covered in one session. College students and even graduate students will find this book an easy way to refresh and review. Endorsements: ""With a light hand and a generous spirit, Sharon Chace has deftly made learning about the New Testament fun. This is a unique book that invites kids of all ages to enjoy hands-on learning not only of Bible basics but also about artistic elements easily missed in Christianity's sacred text."" --Kristin M.
