Why is it so hard to sit down and read my Bible? If you have asked yourself that question, you aren't alone. Through the years, many features have been added to the text of the New Testament to make study and reference more efficient, such as chapter and verse divisions, footnotes, and indexes. This new version of the New Testament aims to reacquaint us with the early format of these Holy Writings. Without the distractions of verse and chapter divisions, reading longer passages of the Bible is easy and enjoyable. Reading Acts is like reading a novel! And great pains were taken to preserve/recreate the tone and style of the original author. From book to book, the vocabulary changes. The length of sentences and the use of transition words between them change. Luke sounds polished and sophisticated; Peter is more common; John is simple but abstract. In the pages of The Word, you will get to know each of the New Testament authors as they give their eyewitness accounts of the gospel and early church!

Many Christians want to be involved in the work of the gospel. They have great intentions and want to please God, but they are beset by frustration and failure. They say they have faith, but it doesn't work. How many congregations have difficulty getting past petty disagreements or become isolated from their environments? They "hold their own" but offer no real change to their communities. They measure growth by how few disruptions occur and comfort themselves that they are "growing in spirit" even if they aren't growing in number. The examples we find in the New Testament depict a powerful faith that turned the world upside down. It was undeniable and unmistakable. Where did it go? As we dig into Peter's recipe for a powerful faith in 2 Peter 1:5-7, you will begin to feel your environment change. Diligence and faith will sweep in like a cold front announcing a storm on the horizon. Virtue, knowledge, self-control, and persistence begin to swirl around in an upward spiral. Godliness and kindness bring God's will in heaven down to earth, just in time for love to touch down and turn the world on its end. This was how the early church changed the world, and it still works today. It won't be easy, but together we will chase this storm, take hold of it, and come away empowered by a faith that works!
