Scripture Memorisation Tools
Here is a blog post from the becoming saturated blog.
Scripture Memory Resources
O how I love your law, it is my meditation all the day. – Psalm 119:97
I recently wrote an article here about the value of memorizing Scripture, called Great Tool or Old School. I hope in the days to come to flesh out the Christo-centric nature of the discipline in a bit more detail, but you’ll have to keep checking back for that one. Since I also did my dissertation on topics relating to the spiritual discipline of memorizing Scripture, its relation to Christian anthropology, and its effectiveness in discipleship, I thought I’d send out a few resources for you. I think I’m aware of practically everything that is available to build your ability in this area, but you may have a link for me that I don’t list. If so, comment away, I’d love to know about it!
