Meet Jesus: A Companion to the Gospel of Matthew
A Chapter-by-Chapter Guide to Understanding the Story of Jesus for New Readers

Have you ever wanted to read the Bible but didn't know where to start?
You are not alone. The Bible can feel overwhelming-full of unfamiliar names, ancient customs, and pages of text that seem difficult to understand. The Gospel of Matthew is the perfect place to begin. It introduces Jesus, His life, His teachings, and His world-changing message. But even the best starting point can leave you with questions:
Who are all these people? Why is this happening? What does this mean for me?
Meet Jesus: A Companion to the Gospel of Matthew is here to walk with you. Written in plain, conversational language for anyone new to Christianity-or anyone who wants to encounter Jesus with fresh eyes-this book breaks down the Gospel of Matthew chapter by chapter, story by story, helping you understand what you are reading and why it matters.
