I bought this book about 18 months ago after my first year of NT Greek, and I am delighted with it.
The book has the eclectic Greek NT text which is the basis of the NIV translation, but it does not include the full critical apparatus that you will find in the Nestle-Aland text. Instead this book focusses on increasing your vocabulary acquisition and use of the Greek NT in daily devotional reading.
Each page has the greek text, and any word that occurs less than 100 times in the NT is referenced by a footnote, which gives the first principal part and the various meanings. So as long as you have a reasonable amount of vocabulary, and enough grammar to parse any word you see, this book supplies the other thing you will need: a lexicon on the page you are reading.
Thus for Matthew 1:1, the first word is Biblos, and the footnote gives biblos, biblou, h, book, sacred book, record.
My tutor challenged me to bring this book to church and read along when the scripture is being read, and I find it very easy to follow.
I recommend it very highly.

It was my birthday recently and I was given Goodrich and Lukaszewski's 2nd edition of their Greek New Testament reader.
I already own the 1st edition, but don't use it as often as my UBS readers GNT because the font is not so easy to read, mainly because it is in italics, but also because the paper is very thin, causing a lot of bleed through.
So I was excited to get the 2nd edition, because it is advertised as being easier to read:
"New Greek font - easier to read"
But when I opened the box I was completely shocked!
I thought that I had received a faulty version. It looked like the printer was running out of ink when they made my copy. It looked like draft mode.
The font was incredibly thin and light.
But when I looked at the introduction (in English) and the Lexicon at the back, the print was in a much thicker and darker font - so I'm assuming that the printer was working okay, and that my copy is not faulty, but is how it is intended to be.
This makes me very disappointed, and unhappy.
I just can't understand how anyone ever let this product out.
I've tried reading it, and I have to strain my eyes to read the text, yet I had 20/20 vision at my last eye test.
I have compared it with the following texts:
Zondervan Reader's GNT 1st ed.
UBS reader's GNT
NET / Nestle Aland 27th Diglott
Pocket sized Nestle Aland 22nd ed.
All of these were far superior to the Zondervan reader's 2nd edition.
I
n my opinion, it is a terrible font.
I also noticed that the contrast between the Old Testament quotes (which are in bold), and the standard text, is so small, that it is hard to see when the Old Testament is being quoted. In the 1st edition however, this was very clear.
It is also worth pointing out that there is no ribbon marker, contrary to what a previous review states.

I use this thing almost daily. It's not perfect, but I find it very useful. It's much smaller than the UBS edition and the font is an improvement over the last version. For the cheaper price available with this one than other options, I think you definitely get value for the money.

A great resource spoilt by a truly awful font
I came across this in my local Christian book store and I really wanted to like it. It's the perfect size for carrying around and feels good in the hand. Read more

Terrific aid to reading
This is a "struggling reader's" Greek NT in that at the bottom of each page there is a glossary giving the meanings of all the words on that page that occur 30 times or fewer in... Read more
