New Testament Greek: A Beginning and Intermediate Grammar
For many years, first-year Greek students have relied on James Allen Hewett's New Testament A Beginning and Intermediate Grammar for its straightforward approach to the fundamentals of language study. Now this trusted grammar will continue to provide beginning scholars with a solid foundation for doing translation, exegesis, and biblical interpretation.
New Testament Greek presents complex Greek grammatical concepts clearly and in terms of familiar English grammar. Each concept is then illustrated using multiple examples from the New Testament, and students apply their learning with translation exercises drawn directly from biblical text instead of artificial sentences created by grammarians. The CD-ROM included with the textbook contains powerful learning tools for vocalizing Greek, mastering new vocabulary, and identifying verb forms.

I've heard that there are many more user/student friendly Greek grammars out there but this happens to be the one I used for 4 of my 6 semesters of Greek. I know it pretty well and it is workmanlike and fair. The author and book should not be judged based on my rusty ability with the Greek text.
