new testament

Last week I lent a copy of The New Testament Made Harder to another Sunday school teacher in my ward. I pointed out that the book follows the lessons from the Gospel Doctrine Sunday school manual. He thumbed through the book for a second and said, “Hey, The New Testament Made Harder is going to make my lesson prep so much easier!”We both laughed, but I knew he was right. The quality of the lessons I teach depends largely on how well I prepare during my own personal scripture study. My lessons go even better when students come prepared having already spent time thinking about the scriptures assigned for the week. James E. Faulconer’s entire MADE HARDER series was written to spur deeper and more focused engagement with Latter-day Saint scriptures.
