My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord (My Scripture Journal: Bible Reading Plans) [Kindle Edition]

Heather Bixler (Author)

Book Description

The goal of “My Scripture Journal” is to help you to grow deeper in your walk with Christ by reading the Bible and memorizing scripture. The scripture memorizing technique offered in “My Scripture Journal” has been proven to help others memorize scripture out of the Bible.

When we study the Bible we learn the tools needed in order to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. God doesn't promise a life free from trials. However He has given us the tools we need to fight our battles through His word, the Bible. When we memorize scripture we automatically have the tools on hand that we need to get us through whatever life throws our way.

“My Scripture Journal” is designed to help you memorize scripture while also learning more about God through His word. This plan for reading and memorizing scripture is designed for those of us who have either a short attention span, or busy lives, in order to help incorporate God into our everyday life!

This scripture journal is set up where you will study one snippet of scripture per week. There will be seven different activities you will complete in order to help you memorize the scripture and get into the word, one activity per day of the week. At the end of the beginning of the next week we will move onto another scripture.

***** KINDLE is READING PLAN ONLY!*****

My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord originated as a paperback journal designed to help readers memorize scripture. This reading plan was put together for readers who prefer digital readers. The reading plan you will find in this eBook copy of My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord includes all scriptures studied, daily activities, and discussion questions found in the paperback version of My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord – the only thing that is not included is the space to journal and write your daily activities.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for new Christians, busy parents and/or youth July 19, 2011

By Wendy Slatt

Format:Kindle Edition

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom..."

But what does it mean to fear the Lord? To quote the author, "When we fear the Lord we are simply obeying the Lord's commands, respecting God for
WHO He is, and living a life that honors God." This twelve-week study helps us work towards that goal in an easy-to-follow, straightforward manner.

As a mother of five, I have trouble finding the time to follow through on most Bible studies, but Heather Bixler's format here is extremely effective without being overly time-consuming. Her daily tasks for memorizing Scripture only take a few minutes but have a long-lasting benefit.

This is a no-frills Bible study that can be used individually or in a group setting. If you're looking for a "deep" Bible study, this most likely is not for you. I do recommend it highly, though, for new believers, Christians in a busy season of life, and/or youth. I'm looking forward to using it with my teen-aged daughters this fall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful & EASY Way to Memorize Scripture July 24, 2011

By Jewelry Whisperer

Format:Kindle Edition

I have been a Christian for a long time and in my journey have used and reviewed numerous devotionals, scripture reading plans and various other "helps" to learn the Word of God.

Most are beneficial in one way or another but memorizing scripture has always been a bit of a struggle for me...and from what I have learned in my life...for a lot of people. Why is that we can remember the lyrics to the Flintstones cartoon but struggle with John 3:16?

Hopefully the My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord will be as beneficial to you as I felt it was to me. This books is an admirable way for new believers and those already grounded in their faith to learn memorization of scripture.

The book is broken into bite-size weekly and daily exercises that will enable you to not only memorize but learn the scripture for the week.

In the beginning of the book you are introduced to the method and reasoning behind My Scripture journal, then a brief explanation of the book...In this instance "What does it mean to fear the Lord"?

This is followed by the weekly outline which includes a scripture verse to look up. I like that they do not write out the verse but ask that you look it up for a couple of reasons. One - readers have different translations of bibles and two - When you look it up, you also learn where it's located.

After the weekly introduction the assignments are broken down by daily assignments. Simple, concise and easy to do. In a matter of one week you should have the scripture memorized. Marvelous! There are also a few discussion questions that you can answer alone or in a group at the end of each week.

As a small group leader...I can see that this would be an excellent tool for teaching our fellow sisters in Christ to grow in the word of God. Good job. What I admired the most about this book is that you are taught a tool that you can use in the future to further learn the Word of God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Melissa's Musings A Product Review Blog Review of My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord July 28, 2011

By Melissa Waters

Format:Kindle Edition

Heather Bixler of Becoming Press (becomingpress.com) graciously sent me a copy of "My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord" to use for thirty day's free of charge. I became acquainted with Heather through Bible Study for Her website (biblestudyforher.com). I took her five week e-course "How to Study the Bible".

So when Heather asked me to review her "My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord" by Becoming Press, I was excited. I have studied different things in Bible, but I've never studied the fear of the Lord. I've read that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge so I thought my Bible Study needed a different topic so I agreed.

On Becoming Press's website [...], Heather quotes "When we fear the Lord we are simply obeying the Lord's commands, and living a life that honors God. " According to Becoming Press - There are several scriptures within the Bible that talks about fearing the Lord. In this scripture journal we will focus on God's promise to those who fear Him, and who love Him. Once you have completed this scripture journal you will have more confidence in God's will for your life, and have a stronger conviction of the Lord's word.

"My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord" is a 12 week study on what is meant to fear the Lord. Each week is broken down into one verse per week to study. For each day of the week you will do a different activity in order to help you commit the verse of the week to memory. Each week we you move onto a new Scripture relating to the fear of the Lord. At the end of each week there will also be 3 suggested discussion questions designed to promote use of the "My Scripture Journal" in a group Bible Study setting.
eBook: Reading Plan Only

You can now purchase the eBook version of My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord. With the eBook version you will receive the reading plan only. The only parts that are not included with the reading plan but are included with the paperback are the sections that allow you to write down your activities.

"The goals of My Scripture Journal is to help you to grow deeper in your walk with Christ by reading the Bible and memorizing Scripture."

No matter your maturity level in Scripture this Bible Study is great! From the beginner to the more experienced Bible student this study will work for you individually or in a group setting. I used the product by myself for thirty days and I was truly blessed by it. I actually committed 12 different Scriptures to memory. I have hid His Word in my heart.

My favorite aspect of "My Scripture Journal: Fearing the Lord" was that at the end of the 12 week study I had a journal, I created. I can refer back to it and review my Scripture memory and I can share it with others. I loved that you can make it yours.

So, why not stop over at Becoming Press and be sure and tell Heather, that Melissa of Melissa's Musings A Product Review Blog sent you.

Until Next Time,

M
