The New Testament Challenge Leader's Kit: An Eight-Week Journey Through the Story of Jesus, His Church, and His Return (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780310125068)

Want to shake up the way you read the Bible? Take the New Testament Challenge!

The New Testament Challenge is a simple but revolutionary idea: What if you have a New Testament with the books arranged in a disruptive yet insightful sequence, and you are challenged to read it all the way through?

The New Testament Challenge Leader's Kit has three components that help you lead the challenge to read through the entire New Testament in eight weeks:

• The Bible you'll read is called The Books of the Bible: New Testament. It contains the entire New Testament, but the books are arranged with each of the four gospels at the beginning of a group of related books, which helps readers gain insights and make connections between books in a way that is both revealing and fascinating. The text itself is presented without verse numbers, chapter numbers, or other things that interrupt the reading. (One copy is included in the Leader's Kit. Additional copies sold separately.)

• The New Testament Challenge Study Journal provides the 40-day reading plan and journaling pages to record your questions, responses, and insights as you read through the New Testament. The real power of this experience takes place as you gather in community, sharing in a book club-style discussion what you observed and wondered about as you read. (One copy is included in the Leader's Kit. Additional copies sold separately.)

• Your group will conclude each session by watching Jeff Manion in The New Testament Challenge Video Study as he introduces what you will be reading in the coming week.

Take the challenge! Read through the entire New Testament in a way you have never experienced before, and encounter God in a fresh new way.
