Last week, I came across something that has already made a HUGE impact upon my life. I loved it so much that I contacted the company to tell them and asked if they would like to give one away on my blog. They were so gracious that they gave me FIVE to give away!
What is this wonderful thing? It’s the best app for Scripture memory that I’ve ever seen or used. It’s Scripture Typer! I didn’t know until I was writing this post that there is an online version for free that you can use on your computer. The app is for iPad/iPhone/iOS5 users and you can find it here: Scripture Typer app.
This memory system combines the use of three learning styles – visual, kinesthetic, and auditory. Because of this way of learning, I have been able to memorize and retain a good number of Scripture verses over the past two weeks. It is the easiest way to memorize Scripture. Besides that, it is fun!
How it works: You can type in your verse, or the app will find it for you in what ever translation you prefer. Then you can speak the verse aloud and record it. The recording will play continuously for as long as you want. As you begin to work on memorizing Scripture, you will type the first letter of each word. Somehow, this typing pattern will aid in storing the verse in your brain. I don’t know how it works… all I know is that it does work! Then, you can move to the next phase of memorizing, where you are given a few of the words and you fill in the rest. When you feel ready to master the verse/passage, you can do so. The program will then store the verse as mastered. There is a review setting where you can review typing all of the verses you’ve learned. On the computer version, you can even print out verse index cards! Where has this been all my life????
I am truly excited about this way of storing God’s Word in my heart, and I’m also excited to be giving away 5 of these apps for iOS5 products. If you don’t have an Apple “something,” then this give-away isn’t of much value to you. I’m sorry. However you can still enjoy this free program on your computer!

I’m heading out the door in a minute to make my way toward a weekend retreat in KY. This will be a huge weekend in God’s Word. Lots of Women’s Ministry fall retreats going on AND the Living Proof Live (Beth Moore) Simulcast events – which will reach over 150,000 women! Lets all pray for each other this weekend! May God’s Word go forth and heal and restore in every heart that absorbs it.
“For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power
[making it active, operative, energizing, and effective];
it is sharper than any two edged sword,
penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life [soul]
and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow
[of the deepest parts of our nature],
exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts
and purposes of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12 (Amplified)
I’m praying for you ~
