The New Testament is an amazing message of God’s love and faithfulness.
Here it’s summarized in just fifteen sentences! Each sentence appears with
a picture and a one-word title to help you remember each part of the big
story as you continue on your journey. Reading the listed Bible passages
and using the creative space (see the sticky notes for suggestions) are
great ways to engage more deeply with God’s story. Once you know it well,
you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to share it with someone you know.
