My First Grade Koine Greek reader - Hardcover

by Thomas Moore (Author)

The author Thomas Moore is the son of Fon Moore, a former United Airlines pilot who in WWII was a pilot of a C47 Skytrain fl ying "the hump" from India to China, in the China Burma India theatre. When Tom was a sophomore at Thousand Oaks High School, CA. his dad and older brother were killed in a car accident on the Conejo Grade in 1967. Tom then threw himself into the arms of Father God and desired to obtain a close personal relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. In 1969 he joined the Navy and when assigned to an oiler stationed in Long Beach, CA. he became the object of hatred and abuse as he was heavily persecuted for his Christian faith. He refused the invitation to join the crew at a brothel in the Philippines, which they took as a personal judgment against them. Tom returned love for their hate and decided by faith to always be full of joy. Three years later Tom led exactly 10% of the ship's crew to faith in Jesus. Tom's love for the Lord Jesus and His Word, led him to work on learning Koine Greek. He developed his own learning program by making elementary style school readers in the Koine Greek. This not only greatly accelerated his learning the Greek but found that reading a collection of elementary Greek Scriptures became his favorite devotional. It is Tom's hopes that others will fi nd the joy in learning and reading the Greek text as he does. Castle Rock, CO. 7/30/24
