This year, enter into Easter like never before. Learn the Resurrection
stories from the Gospel of John by heart.

You will hear and feel the rhythms, imagine the scenes, and renew your
memories. By Pentecost, you'll know these words by heart. But your
memories of the Resurrection will have only begun.

Every day, you'll learn one new verse. Many books offer a daily verse to think about, but with this book, you'll remember what you read. Learning these stories, verse by verse, will lift your thoughts to a new level. As you renew these stories, you'll find new meanings and images in the familiar words.

CHANGE THE WORLD. CELEBRATE EASTER.

How long do you celebrate Easter? A day? A morning? Did you know you're supposed to get a full fifty days? The Easter season lasts for seven weeks!

By contrast, Lent only lasts for forty days. Yet hordes of Christians struggle and groan through six weeks of Lent, shout with relief on Easter Sunday, and then ... forget the whole thing before they finish the Easter candy.

It's like we scrimp and save to buy a red Mercedes, then let it rot in the garage after a single joyride. Easter is a season, not a single day of egg hunting and festive hats.

Learning these verses through this season will help you think new
thoughts, and actually celebrate that God plans for you to live
forever.

And you'll be surprised at all the details. There's much more to the
story than the empty tomb.

NATURAL MEMORY, NOT CRAZY TRICKS

Think you have a bad memory? Impossible! You've just proven that your memory is excellent. (You'll find out why.) This book will show you how to use your memory in new ways.

Don't worry, you won't need crazy memory tricks. In this book, you'll learn natural methods like:

- finding the rhythm in the verses

- connecting verses into stories

- and strengthening your imagination of what's actually happening in
the scene.

Learning by heart can (and should!) be pleasant.

WHAT YOU GET IN THIS BOOK

This book includes two major aids to learning the Resurrection this Easter, plus a bonus feature.

First, you get the verses of John 20 and 21, typeset as rhythmic stories. Although you could learn the verses from any Bible, this book uses a visually memorable layout. Instead of blocks of prose, you see these words with rhythms that move like poetry. This gives each verse a more unique look, and also helps you speak and hear the verses with rhythm. They become much easier to remember.

Second, you get the Books by Heart™ lessons. These lessons will show you, step-by-step, how to remember a long text like John 20 and 21. These lessons form the core of this book. They've also appeared in other books in the series, such as Lent by Heart and Christmas by Heart.

The bulk of these lessons are the same in every book in this series, because all these books focus on memorizing the same kinds of texts. But in each book, I adapt certain examples and discussions for the particular text we're learning. Here, we'll focus on the Resurrection narrative from John.

As a bonus feature, I've also included rhythmic verses for the
Resurrection stories from the other Gospels, as well as the Pentecost
story from Luke. For future Easters in the years to come, you can use
this book again to learn other Resurrection narratives.

This book uses the Douay-Rheims Challoner version. This old
translation will remind you of the famous King James version. Although
the DRC presents challenges, it also has excellent features for
memorizing. I explain these features in a later chapter.

HOW TO LEARN A VERSE

Every time you say a verse, you want to:

- Speak out: Speak loudly and slowly, with rhythm and expression.

- Take it in: As you speak, see the words as they are written, hear the words you say, and feel the rhythms and the shapes of the words on your tongue.

- Experience: Let the words lead you to imagine the scene in this story.

Seem like a lot to remember? Don't worry, we'll be going over all this in detail.
