Description

With the times we are in, Scripture memorization is one of the most important things you can do.  You can draw on memorized Scriptures at any time with or without a Bible in your hand.  It is a continuous source of renewing the mind, encouragement, and a great tool to share with others.

Our brain is a memorization machine--we can't not memorize.  But modern methods often do not leverage the power inherent in the memorization process.  Not only can you memorize but you can memorize large portions of Scripture. 

This course is going to teach you how.  If you trust the process, you will be amazed.

This isn't a course on rote, repetition and pounding the Scriptures in--it's about memorizing for the long-haul.  It's memorizing for retention.  If you are looking just to go quick for a Bible Bee or for a test, use rote and skip this course.  But if you want to have skills that will last, then this course has tools that can help make that possible.

If you are looking to memorize Scripture quickly, this is not the course for you.  This is about long-term memorization and I sincerely hope it is a help to you.

Who this course is for:

  • Those who want to memorize large portions of Scripture and retain it
