Hey friends! I came across this little book called “How to Memorize Scripture for Life” by Andrew  Davis and wanted to recommend it to you.

Maybe you totally resonate with this or remember a time when this would happen to you. I remember when I was handed my first christian classic; everyone raved about how good it was, b ..read more
