The [[Epistle to the Hebrews]], which is one of the finest writings in all of [[Greek]] literature, is an excellent second book for reading.  This book includes modern concepts of [[mathematics]] ([[infinity]]) and [[physics]] ([[entropy]]) of interest to learners today.  It also contains a remarkable 154 hapax legomena, which are words founds nowhere else in the [[Bible]].<ref>https://rsc.byu.edu/how-new-testament-came-be/authorship-epistle-hebrews#_note-1</ref>  The epistle contains 1,028 lexically different words and a total of 6,897 words overall.  This is slightly less than half the 14,949 words in the [[Gospel of Mark]].<ref>https://holyword.church/miscellaneous-resources/how-many-words-in-each-book-of-the-bible/</ref>

[[John Chapter 10]], in the [[Gospel of John]], has three elements that makes it terrific reading material for a young learner:
 +
*a high density of multi-syllable [[phonics|phonetic]] words;
 +
*a comparison to a wolf attacking sheep, which a young learner finds interesting; and
 +
*an encouraging message of how much [[Jesus]] loves and protects his "sheep" (those who have [[faith]] in him)
