How it works

1. One passage per sheet — first read the Korean sentence slowly.
2. Look at the key Greek words and their explanations, and find the center of the sentence.
3. Read the short question, then think of where it touches your life today.
4. Copy it by hand on the blank lines, and hold on to the sentence that stays with you today.

When · with whom

Suits opening and closing the day alone. Writing one sheet in the morning works well.
