The New Testament Study Guide, edited and published by Betty Johansen through Wordsmith World, is intended for readers seeking a realistic approach to Scripture study as part of their New Year’s spiritual commitment.

While many believers set Bible-reading goals at the start of the year, maintaining focus and momentum often proves challenging. The guide addresses this by offering a clear, organized framework for engaging with the New Testament in a steady and manageable way.
The study guide was originally written by Johansen’s late mother, Elizabeth Johansen, a Bible teacher with more than three decades of experience in religious education. Johansen edited and prepared the material for publication, preserving her mother’s instructional voice while adapting the content for modern readers.
Using structured lessons that combine Scripture passages with reflective questions, the guide walks readers through the New Testament while shedding light on events and teachings that shaped early Christian faith. Some prompts invite brief written responses, while others encourage deeper reflection on how biblical passages speak to modern life. Topics explored include the life and ministry of Jesus, connections between the Old and New Testaments, the Beatitudes, the growth of the early church, and the letters written by Paul and other apostles.
Lessons are organized into concise sections designed to fit into everyday routines, helping busy readers remain consistent over time.
Johansen explains that the guide is meant to encourage personal engagement with Scripture rather than passive reading. “Have you been letting others tell you what the Bible says all your life?” she asks in the guide’s introduction. “If so, maybe it’s time for you to mine the spiritual treasures in the Word of God for yourself.”
The New Testament Study Guide can also be used alongside the author’s Bible trivia material, offering a more interactive way for individuals or families to explore Scripture together, and it is available for purchase on Sqrindle.
In addition to the New Testament guide, Johansen has published an Old Testament Study Guide, allowing readers to approach Scripture as a two-part series. Her broader body of work includes faith-based fiction and biblical resources available through Amazon, including fiction titles such as Lilli’s Song and Hawaiian Wildfire.
