Several years ago while visiting a new church I was struck with how the pastor spoke. Scripture just seemed to ooze out of him - from the initial welcome to the benediction. I was smitten by this love for and natural outpouring of the word of God. During the service he reminded the congregation of a "pastor's challenge". He encouraged everyone to memorize 12 verses over a 12 week period. I took the challenge seriously and over the next 12 weeks selected verses that were meaningful to me and memorized them. This began a passion in me for the word of God and memorizing verses from it.
This brief e-book contains some of my favourite passages for prayer, meditation and memorization on topics like:
1. What does the Bible say about Jesus?
2. Who is God and what is he like?
3. What does the Bible say about itself?
4. Prayer
5. Meditation
6. Memorization
My prayer is that it would be a blessing to you as you pursue you own personal relationship with God.
