Bible Memorization Program

(Published originally by the Navigators)\\

 

During my college years I found the Navigator system of Bible memorization to be very helpful. I especially appreciated the outline. I recommend writing the verses on half a 3x5 card along with the reference
and outline category. Put the reference and outline category on one side and the verse on the other. Review them until you can quote the verse from either the reference or the category. You should also try to memorize them in such a way that when you look at the verse you can give the reference. This method is often overlooked but is very important. You might remember a verse in some situation and it
is helpful to know where the verse is so that you can point someone to the passage. The references are linked to the verses so that you can review them on your computer.
