Description
A Simple, Proven Method for Memorizing Long Passages of Scripture
When God's word abides in believers, it overflows with blessings for everyday life. Many Christians have individual Scripture verses "stored up" in their hearts, but there can be even greater spiritual benefit to memorizing long passages-even entire books-of the Bible. Unfortunately, this is often dismissed as impossible or too time consuming.
Andrew M. Davis helps readers commit to extended Scripture memorization so they may grow in holiness, resist temptation, and share the gospel with others. In this brief guide, he offers an accessible, time-tested pattern for studying Scripture that includes simple daily procedures and tips for long-term retention. By building up a storehouse of biblical truth in their hearts, readers will strengthen their prayer life and intimacy with Christ as they prepare to share God's truth with others.
Has Helped Thousands Memorize Books of the Bible: Proven, daily plan for extended Scripture memorization and retention
Encouraging: Offers a strong, biblical defense for memorizing Scripture and empowers believers to develop this important spiritual discipline
Applicable: Helpful for growth in godliness, evangelism, conviction of sin, and powerful daily prayer
