4.0 out of 5 stars Considered by Many to be the Best, July 3, 2007

This review is from: Topical Memory System (Paperback)

Considered by many to be the best, the Topical Memory System includes a course workbook, a book of verse memory cards, and a vinyl card holder. The course workbook is essentially a practical How-To book on memorizing Bible verses. One technique says to recite the reference both before and after reciting the verse, something I never considered doing before. Bible verses should not be memorized out of content. Thus, the book encourages you to read the passage the verse is in and to understand what the verse means. You get 60 verses in 8 versions for a total of 480 verses. However, you only have to memorize one version. To save paper, cards are printed on both sides with the same verse. You can just ignore the version you are not interested in. The verses are printed on perforated card stock sheets. You tear out the cards for the version of your choice. Each card measures 2½" x 1¾". Verses are not chosen at random but fit into different categories. The vinyl card holder has two pockets on one side and a clear pocket on the other. There is not much to it, does not fold over easily, and the cards could slip out easily. I recommend using a business card holder instead. Although a business card holder is slightly larger, it would do better than the included cheap vinyl holder. The Topical Memory System get four stars instead of five, because of the cheap card holder.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not At All Like The Paperback Version, April 4, 2011

This review is from: Topical Memory System (Kindle Edition)

I have used the paper version and like others have been more than pleased. But...

The Kindle version is just an electronic rendering of the paper and I find it utterly useless. The worst (non)feature is the lack of the actual scripture verses.

This means, of course, that you have to have your bible or verse cards available in order to use the system - a complete violation of the convenience of using Kindle.

Navigators could have done better. This seems to have been thrown together just to capitalize on the Navigator name.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Investment, March 10, 2008

This review is from: Topical Memory System (Paperback)

This has been helpful for me in connecting with God on a daily basis. I keep mine on the dash of my car so I can remember to review it every day. It's a pretty basic system. Not much to it. You have to commit yourself to spending time with it each day, but it's worth it. Since I started I've been able to recall a passage I had memorized to help me process through a problem I was having. It helped me a great deal to have that passage in my back pocket and know it word for word!

My girlfriend and I do this together, and we quiz each other from time to time. It's great for building a Christ-Centered relationship with the person you're with. It really puts the focus on God's word and helps us to stay focused on God when we feel tempted.
