Bret, thanks. I don't have Metzger's book, but I have Warren Trenchards
Complete Vocabulary Guide to the GNT which I am told is very similar.
Vocabulary isn't near the problem for me than figuring out the structure
of a sentence. I finished Mounce's BBG, and I have worked through I
John and then started in Mark, but I got detoured in 1 Peter (which is
more difficult than I John and Mark for me). I do have Mounce's Reader
but I am too impatient for it. I like to jump in and struggle. My plan
is to go through Mark and then John. I was just trying to get an
overview of the big picture so I can stay away from where I shouldn't
go. Skip Tyler, Fredericksburg, VA
