In Scripture by Heart Joshua Kang notes that our information-saturated society, with so many details to take in, the idea of memorizing Scripture can seem overwhelming--like one more task on a checklist. But when we do spend time memorizing God's Word, notes Kang, We grasp a larger, truer picture of God. We more closely and more often imitate Christ. We worship God 'in Spirit and in truth.' We're better able to fulfill God's mission. Yet, Kang recognizes that memorizing Scripture isn't easy. The process itself, like the transformation it brings, doesn't happen overnight. Scripture by Heart is therefore his help for your growth in this important practice. He offers here - 30 short devotional readings that motivate you to memorize God's Word
- spiritual practices interspersed throughout that teach you how to memorize
- specific help for persevering when you feel stuck or overwhelmed
- a step-by-step approach that roots Scripture in your mind and heart
There is no substitute for God's Word and no shortcut to having it dwell in us. But there is help here for the journey. Pastor Kang's words and wisdom can guide you into a new relationship with the living Word, and the God it reveals. |
