Memorizing Scripture: The Basics, Blessings, and Benefits of Meditating on God's Word

“here are few disciplines Christians want to do more but actually do less than memorizing Scripture. Glenna's book is designed to help. It will motivate you to rediscover this important habit, instruct you on why it will benefit your life and faith, convince you it will foster your joy in the Lord, and help you build and maintain the practice. As we and so many other parents taught our children, it will help you to put the best thing (God's Word) in the best place (your heart) for the best reason (so you might not sin against Him).”

“Memorizing Scripture will be a resource I reach for and recommend often! It compelled me to know and love God through His Word, while equipping me with helpful tools to hide Scripture in my heart. Glenna Marshall offers us the principles with the practicals, exhortation with encouragement, and the truth with all the grace.”

“Muscle memory is an essential operation in our physicality. A thousand memorized micro-actions in exercise, cooking, texting, and driving help us flourish in everyday life. Memorizing Scripture by Glenna Marshall reminds us how vital Scripture memory is for our spirituality. You will enjoy this personal, inviting, practical, and invigorating work from Glenna. I trust it will encourage you to treasure Scripture as it did for me.”

“For years, Glenna Marshall's faithful example of Scripture memorization has spurred me on to store up God's Word in my heart and mind, and this book is no exception. Glenna not only describes the fruit and benefits of memorizing Scripture but also provides practical methods and tips for even the most reluctant memorizer. This book will leave you encouraged and equipped to pursue a life saturated in God's Word—a life of wisdom, growth, and comfort in the Lord.”

“Authors sometimes write books about spiritual disciplines to help readers understand, books showing both our need for and God's command of such disciplines. And then there are those books that so tug your heart, so invite you in, so testify to the goodness of the discipline, that they make you want to participate in that discipline—like put the book down and participate right now. Glenna Marshall has written both books in one. Years ago, my memorization practice felt more vibrant, and Memorizing Scripture has given me the nudge to reengage a practice I've let get dusty.”
