Critic reviews

"This book is a brilliant resource for every believer in Christ!" - Jennifer Rothschild, best-selling author

Great Reminder

Quick read that encouraged me to get back into the good habit of memorizing God’s word.

Extremely Practical

Great practices and routines to incorporate, also the author has a great voice and is a major upgrade from the typical AI narration

Memorize What Matters

A wonderful resource on tools and techniques to memorize the Holy Bible. I highly recommend it to anyone that desires to hide God’s word in their heart.

The Journey is the Destination!

Memorize What Matters by Josh Summers is a wealth of tools for memorizing Scripture...and that's fantastic...really! If you want to put in your heart Bible verses, chapters, and books, you will find the techniques helpful. But, the highlight for me is the "why" and Josh Summers is a true example of "why" as his testimony of lived experience in a Chinese prison trumpets. It is the vision of relationship with God as the source and summit of having the Scriptures in heart that motivates me to hide God's word in my heart. And, to then interact with those words in my inner sanctuary for a conversation and ongoing relationship with God.

It gives what it’s offering

Some people might ask, “what does the author’s story have to do with memorizing the Bible?” But if you keep listening, it explains why all Christians should memorize the Bible while also cementing this christian book as a testimony.

My only nitpick is that I believe the memory palace should be called mind house or mind room so that the audience wouldn’t feel like it’s an overwhelming method, but this isn’t the authors fault. I think calling it a mind house makes it seem less complicated than people make it out to be.

Give Detail & Meaning Why We Memorize God's Word

The author gives a very telling experience to help support the reasons we should memorize God's Word. There are several methods and processes included as well, but he makes it a smooth listening and worthwhile adventure. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to get more in-depth with their study of God's Word as well as the "why" we should. This isn't the normal step by step processes or methods to learning or memorization. This has meaning.

Strategic steps

It was pretty insightful! Good quick read, I recommend to others looking for steps on memorizing the bible

Simple Techniques

I am looking forward to implementing these techniques into my personal walk with Christ. I laughed in the beginning when the author said he didn’t recommend starting with Ephesians because that’s exactly the book I plan to memorize first!

actionable steps

full of useful information
everyone will come away with something they can use

So many great tips

This book was so helpful and very detailed about how to make memorizing whole chapters and Books of the Bible possible!!!! I would have been thrilled for one thing that might actually help aid me, but instead all of the tips will work! Big blessing!
