Download or read book Easy Ways to Memorize the Book of the New Testament written by Gary Noble and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God created the human mind with anamazing capacity to think and learn. More importantly, as Christians, God gives us the Mind of Christ so that we can align our thoughts with things that are pleasing to God, our heavenly Father. Jesus opened the minds of His disciples so they could learn the scriptures. And, Jesus desires to open our minds as well. I believe a good way to begin to learn the scriptures is to be able to locate the books contained in the Bible. It sounds simple, and it is. But, as a minister I know that many Christians are discouraged and slightly embarrassed when they cannot locate books of the Bible during Sunday School, morning worship, or during their personal devotion time. It doesn't have to be that way. After over 20 years of ministry, I have discovered a very simple technique for memorizing the 27 books of the New Testament. This fun memorization method has worked successfully for both young and older adults, and for teens and children. You will be amazed when in a couple of hours, and in some cases minutes you are able to recite, from memory, the 27 books of the New Testament, in almost any order. Let's begin!
