To: Rick Hammer,

I would make the following recommendations.

(a) "A Grammatical Analysis of the Greek New Testament" by Max Zerwick and 
Mary Grosvenor (Rome: Biblical Institute Press). This is a verse by verse 
aid which helps with vocabulary, morphology, and syntax.

(b) "Complete Vocabulary Guide to the Greek New Testament" by Warren C. 
Trenchard (Zondervan).

(c) read any (and all) of the Gospels.

Also, one might consider obtaining the following:

(d) "Synopsis Quattuor Evangeliorum" by Kurt Aland (Deutsche 
Bibelgesellschaft). This presents the four gospels in parallel columns.

(e) "Reading New Testament Greek" by Bernard Brandon Scott et al. 
(Hendrickson Publishers).

For the Synoptic gospels this "Reading New Testament Greek" lists words 
occurring nine times or less according to Aland's pericopes.
