A comprehensive guide, The Word of God explores the aspects crucial to the memorization and meditation of the Bible: motivation, preparation, and application. It explains why believers should memorize Scripture and defines the biblical and theological rationale and analysis for the effort. It describes the spiritual component necessary to undertake the task and provides practical suggestions for successfully achieving the goal. The Word of God communicates the importance of memorizing Scripture--to dig deeper into the important truth of God's Word--for advancing the spiritual walk, finding healing and peace, warding off spiritual attacks, and growing in Christ.

From the Author:

My heartfelt prayer is that this work will motivate you to begin a discipline of imprinting God's Word on your heart and mind, and that you become thunderstruck not only at what God does, but at the revelation of who He is. Grab your Bible and unleash the power of Scripture memorization in your life. ~Michele

From the Back Cover:

As I started climbing the stairs, I recited Proverbs 18:10 over and over out loud to myself. I tried not to look down and kept a death grip on the railing. As I ascended, I was profoundly shaking with anxiety and nearly paralyzed by fear, yet I just kept taking the next step and saying that verse. When I reached the top, the guys were happy to see me, and I tried to pretend I was fine. I was still exhausted, nauseated, and terrified, so I sat down on the platform. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, warm and sunny with a gentle breeze. When you are a hundred feet above the ground in a flat area such as an airport, you can see for miles. The view was incredible. For a moment, I became lost in the scene. Then it hit me. The fear was completely gone. Peace reigned throughout my mind and body. I was wholly at ease, suddenly amused at the concept of seeing the ground far below. That beautiful day in Oklahoma, high above the airfield, I was awakened to the power of memorizing Scripture.
