Author Betty Johansen has announced a New Testament Study Guide, written by her mother, Elizabeth Johansen, offering readers a practical way to explore the Scripture.
-- The new study guide offers lessons that bring the New Testament’s teachings to life and show their relevance today. With a format that works for busy readers, the workbook combines Scripture readings, thoughtful questions, and practical exercises for people at any stage of their faith journey.

The guide was originally written by Betty Johansen’s mother, Elizabeth, who earned a degree in religious education and taught Bible classes at the local high school. Betty adapted the guide for today’s readers, preserving her mother’s thoughtful approach while making it accessible to a wider audience.
“The New Testament is not just a historical document,” Betty notes. “Its lessons continue to speak to us, offering guidance, hope, and perspective on how to live with faith and purpose.”
Organized into bite-sized lessons and thought-provoking exercises, the guide explores major New Testament themes: how Jesus’ life and ministry fulfilled the promises of the Old Testament, the meaning of the Beatitudes as a guide for modern living, the parables and their lessons for today’s challenges, and how the letters of Paul and other apostles shaped the early church and continue to do so today.
To help readers engage deeply with the material, the book balances short-answer questions with thought-provoking prompts that encourage personal reflection and discussion. Readers are introduced to the inductive Bible study method, which helps them identify key themes, understand their historical context, and reflect on how the teachings apply to their lives.
Johansen suggests setting aside regular time for study, finding a quiet space free of distractions, and combining personal reflection with group discussions to gain fresh perspectives. “Take time to meditate on the passages and consider their implications for your journey,” she recommends. “Discussing what you’ve learned with others can also deepen your understanding and strengthen your faith.”
The New Testament Study Guide is the second in a two-part series, complementing the Old Testament Study Guide released earlier. Together, they provide a full exploration of Scripture, suitable for individuals, families, or small groups.
Alongside her study guides, Betty Johansen has written The Bible In Brief, a concise retelling of Scripture, and several works of faith-inspired fiction, including ‘Lilli’s Song,’ ‘Hawaiian Wildfire,’ ‘The Darkness Under His Feet,’ and ‘Out of Darkness.’
