Come to the world of the New Testament

As the book's subtitle suggests, the author earnestly hopes for the day when "everyone will read the Bible" to come soon.
CGN's "Oship Show," which began with the hope that Woo-joo, the son, would be able to get closer to the Bible before his military enlistment, has expanded to include more episodes and share Bible stories with mothers, daughters, sons, and even acquaintances.
This experience led me to write a Bible guidebook that would help anyone read the Bible easily and enjoyably, driven by a desire to invite more people to the Bible and a desire given to me by the Lord.
From Genesis to Revelation, dozens of videos from "Oship Show" have been re-edited into text, and even in-depth content that could not be covered on air, the author's unique, humorous and witty way of speaking has been used to create a vivid experience, as if watching a historical drama.


The author divided the vast contents of the 66 books of the Bible into the Old and New Testaments and wrote them in two volumes.
"Come to the World of the Old Testament" is organized in chronological order from Genesis to Malachi, guiding you to learn the historical flow of the Bible, which is different from conventional Bible reading, and to read the story of God (he+story) working within it in one go.
The Old Testament contains the story of God's unending, passionate love for humanity, starting with the story of Adam, the progenitor of mankind, through Isaac, who became a foreshadowing of Jesus, his sons Jacob and Esau, Joseph, who became the prime minister of Egypt, Moses and Joshua, who led the Israelites on their journey to Canaan, and David and countless other prophets, all contained within the 39 books of the Old Testament.


Just as Nehemiah rebuilt the ruined walls and first read the Book of the Law through the prophet Ezra, seeking to restore the community of Israel, we too today need to read the Bible, which contains God's word, examine God's will within it, and be made complete in faith.
In that sense, through this book, many people will become interested in the Bible itself, and by opening the Bible and reading it directly, they will engrave God's will contained within it deep into their souls.
Additionally, each chapter includes a QR code for the CGN “Oship Show” video, allowing readers to learn about the Bible in a more colorful way.
Everyone who loves the Word will want to enter the world of the Bible!

From the reviewer's note

Deaconess Cho Hye-ryeon's "Come to the World of the Old Testament" and "Come to the World of the New Testament" make it easier for us to read the Bible.
This book has the following features:
First, it's fun.
The author has a talent for making people laugh, and this book clearly demonstrates that talent.
Everyone who reads this book will smile and realize that the Bible is such a fun book.
Second, it helps you easily understand the flow of the entire Bible.
In the Old Testament, historical books, sacred writings, and prophetic books were reorganized to fit the flow of the times, and in the New Testament, the Pauline letters were arranged based on the Acts of the Apostles.
So readers can understand the Bible chronologically even without historical knowledge of the Old and New Testaments.


Third, each book summarizes the necessary content well.
So it helps readers easily understand the core content of each volume.
Fourth, and above all, this book is a ‘child-rearing book.’
This is a book that a mother compiled after diligently studying the Bible, hoping that her son, who is serving in the military, will become closer to the Bible.
So, the entire book is permeated with the heart of a mother who loves her son, the universe, just as God loves us.
Reading the Bible is never easy.
However, 『Come to the World of the Old Testament』 and 『Come to the World of the New Testament』 guide readers into the world of the Bible in a fun, enjoyable, and clear way.
I hope that this book will be widely read so that many people will realize and experience the truth of “the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit” (2 Corinthians 13:13).
