Topical Memory System: Hide God’s Word in Your Heart

When I was first saved, this was the tool that my mentor used to help me develop personal scriptural discipline in my life. It teaches you foundational scriptures and provides methods to help memorize them.

This is the best tool I've ever had for memorizing scripture. When I say I can do this, anyone can. Highly recommend

It is a great little system for memorizing Bible verses. I just have not spent the time doing what I need to. Still am planning on starting back again soon.

Normally this reviewer deals mainly with book reviews but I felt the need to review this memorization system because of the personal help I received from it. This course is one of the keys to effective discipleship. When I was in the military, I found that the memorization of Scripture was one of the most effective means of growth in personal life and ministry. So the Topical Memory System became part and parcel of my life.So although I advanced in theological studies, I recently realized that I needed to get back to regular intake of Scripture through memorization of verses covering the various aspects of the Christian life.The Topical Memory System includes a workbook with an additional booklet of verses that can be carried in the pocket or purse to profit from spare moments during the day.This system has been adopted by the leadership in our local church and already we can see the difference in lives as we encourage others to do the same.One caveat is that by learning short verses from various parts of the Bible one risks to end up with texts separated from their context. So I encourage embedding the text in its biblical context to avoid this. This is partly done by attaching the verse reference to the verse itself.The course workbook is an invaluable part of the memorization process since it shows how the different verses fit into life by means of explanations and diagrams. This workbook also details the five main divisions of verses into 1) living the new life; 2) proclaiming Christ; 3) relying on God's resources; 4) being Christ's disciple; and 5) growing in Christlikeness.Memorize Scripture and apply it to life and spiritual growth will take place

In order for believers to grow in grace, the memorization of the Scripture is invaluable. Many have tried and failed. But this Navigator's "Topical Memory System" has been time-tested and proven effective.1. It is a "system" -- this is not a collection of random verses without anything to hold onto. But it is structured in Gospel-centered framework. There is a purpose in organization of all these verses, so you will be able to remember AND use them more.2. It is "topical" -- These 60 foundational verses for Christian life is arranged topically (i.e., 5 series consisting 6 topics each): Series (A) Live the New Life, (B) Proclaim Christ (C) Rely on God's resources (D) Be Christ's Disciple (E) Grow in Christlikeness. This could be great for both new and mature believers.3. The product comes with most popular English versions of the Bible: NIV, NASB, KJV, ESV, NKJV, NRSV, NLT, and MSG. Very useful. Remember that older Topical Memory System Package: Hide God's Word in Your Heart does not have some of the newer Bible versions.4. It also comes with study guide to review and practice the memorization. This is excellent, because it brings memorization into useful personal Bible Study. It also provides 2 diagrams to bring series (A) and (B) more impressionable to the mind.5. It also comes with a vinyl pouch to put the memory cards. Outside pocket is transparent so you could conveniently memorize the verse.I've tried The MacArthur Scripture Memory System (others might find it more suitable), but at least for me, it was not as effective as Navigators. If you are serious about memorization, this tool will help you achieve that goal. Highly recommended.

I purchased the paperback version of this system and I really like it. Recently, I purchased the kindle version, but cannot find the memory cards??? Maybe it is error on my behalf because I am still in the learning curve on the kindle. I would suggest this system to anyone who desires to hide God's word in their heart.

I have always wanted to memorize scripture, but never was able to really accomplish it. This product has changed that. This kit includes a book with hints on how to memorize scripture, a method to help you use the scriptures for witnessing, and a set of memory cards which will help you to memorize the scripture.What has helped me the most is the verse cards and holder. It is very easy to carry this product in your pocket and review it while waiting in line. What I personally do is place the verse holder on my dashboard (I'm only covering up the fuel indicator and gear lights - who needs those!) and then I can glance down at stop signs, stop lights and the such.The other thing I like is there is a variety of translations for you to use. This is an improvement over previous versions. The card holder is a thick vinyl, which should last a while but I fear will not last forever (though Navigators sell replacements). You can also find templates online to make your own scripture memory cards such as at [....]Overall, this product is worth list price (if not more) and Amazon's discounted price makes it much more of a deal!

These cards and booklets help to remember verses of the Bible. It helps a lot, but remember that Practice makes perfect.
