What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Knowing scripture is essential for the Christian life. And memorizing sacred scripture is essential to allow God’s Word to take root in our lives and shape our thoughts and actions. Jackie Angel has created a way of not only approaching God’s Word but also of allowing the Word to take up residence in our hearts.” —Fr. Mike Schmitz, host of The Bible in a Year podcast

“The gospels show that Jesus Christ quoted scripture when undergoing the greatest crises of his life and ministry—like struggling against Satan or undergoing his death on the Cross. Yet many Catholics have never memorized a single verse. Jackie Angel has written a great book to help us learn to memorize scripture, and I urge every Catholic to get a copy!” —John Bergsma, professor of theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville

“At a time when so many thoughts and images clamor for the attention of our minds and hearts, Jackie Angel has put together a fantastic resource to help people of all ages be truly formed by sacred scripture, the Word of God. This book will surely help us put God first and restore peace to our minds and hearts! What a gift!” —Sarah Swafford, speaker and author of Gift and Grit and Emotional Virtue
