Book Review: How to Memorize the Bible Fast and Easy

Welcome to True to the Word’s book review!  This week’s review is for the book, “How to Memorize the Bible Fast and Easy,” written by Adam Houge and read by David Golightly.

Does the book have Christianity as its foundation?
How did the book cause reflection on God’s commandments?

1. Promotes God as the only God
2. Promotes being free from idols or refrain from promoting idols
3. Does not use His name in vain
4. Promote the Sabbath or refrain from promoting Sunday as the day of worship?
5. Honours parents or refrains from promoting dishonour of parents?
6. Speak against murder or refrain from promoting murder?
7. Speak against adultery or or refrain from promoting adultery?
8. Speak against theft or refrain from promoting theft?
9. Speak against lies or refrain from promoting lies?
10. Speak against jealousy or refrain from promoting jealousy?

What connection did the subject matter have with Christian standards? 

• Scripture alone (the Bible is our only authority)
• Salvation through Christ alone (faith in Jesus, not by works)
• State of the Dead (we do not go to heaven when we die)
• Heavenly Sanctuary (Jesus as our high priest and only mediator to God)
• Biblical marriage (one man, one woman joined before God)
• Husband as the head in his home and the local church
• Recognition of the value of life and blessing in children 
• Modesty of dress
• Recognition of the body as the temple of God (avoidance of addictions)

How did the book impact my faith?

Did the book leave me with questions or further reflection?
