How to Memorize Scripture for Life
By: Andrew M. Davis - How to Memorize Scripture for Life: From One Verse to Entire Books is a brief booklet that provides a formula and a schedule for how to memorize verses, full passages, and even entire books of the Bible. This brief guide lays out a cycle of specific steps to follow over the course of four days to enable readers to commit sections of God’s Word to memory. When following the pattern, readers will learn how to develop visual and auditory cues for remembering, and how to follow a specific daily routine that leads to retention. Having God’s Word written inside our minds is a preventative measure for avoiding temptation, facilitates the spiritual transformation Paul describes in the book of Romans, and makes us more effective at evangelizing.
