Scripture memory is most effectively accomplished in the home

Scripture memoryis most effectively accomplished in the home. Especially the homeschool environment. The daily commitment of time to train up Godly children and be Godly parents has been made. So time is set aside for review. Without review, Bible memory becomes "Scripture forget" and verses or passages aren't remembered.

Rspected Christian homeschooling and education leaders Mary Pride, Cathy Duffy, Gregg Harris, Christine Field, Rene Mason, Larry Guthrie, Donna Partow, Lisa Whelchel, support leaders and others tell how MemLok really does make Scripture memory happen.

MemLok uses a picture for the first key words on the computer screen (prints color business cards) or in the notebook (black/white). It is used by thousands of kids 2-92 in 50 states and 50 countries. The picture helps you "get started". How often have you said, "Give me the first few words"? The verse "word picture" works!

Bible memory can't be left to happenstance or the church. Mom and Dad can provide a consistent Christian model for Scripture memory and spend about 5-10 minutes a day doing it. Application is provided for by MemLok through the Seven Devotional Tools, and the Personal Notes in MemLok.

The most usable topical Bible memory program we have seen is still MemLok. We're really impressed! It's kid appealing, sharp, and thorough. Most of all, MemLok is fun and easy! RECOMMENDED.

I discovered MemLok when my kids were young. We began our homeschool day every morning by practicing the memory cards. What began as a delightful routine has proven to have real staying power as those scriptures are still hidden in their hearts. I highly recommend MemLok. It is an eternal investment.

Christine Field A Field Guide to Homeschooling "MemLok is a Bible memory system that really works for me. I am a woman who cannot recall what she did 2 hours ago but I am memorizing Scripture thanks to this great system. I think that one of my highest duties as a home schooling parent is to teach my children Bible memory skills. MemLok can help. It has a word picture system for the first key words of Scripture verses to get you started. Working about 5 minutes a day,you can memorize one verse a week or more if you are highly motivated. The system comes with memorization cards organized by topic and checklists for you to chart your progress.

One of their other products is Say the Books. This little book uses a series of cartoons to illustrate each book of the Bible with a cartoon and a running story line. Quizzes are included and the illustrations may be colored. These are great resources for the whole family."

It's about time someone came up with visual clues to help make memorization easier for reluctant and struggling memorizers.

Gregg Harris Author, Publisher, Christian Life Workshops
One of the highest priorities among Christian home schooling parents is to teach their children the Word of God. MemLok is among the finest tools for accomplishing this crucial educational and spiritual goal.I highly recommend it!

MemLok is one of the best investments I have made in 9 years of home schooling. We have used it for 6 years now and I recommend it to everyone! Five of our 6 kids (3-15 yrs.) are actually meditating because of the excellent review system.

Our 10, 13, and 15 year old children can say all the verses they've learned from MemLok over the last three years! Here's a tip that might work for others...We give a reward when they quote from memory (with reference) a verse they hear in the sermon. They really listen!

Tonya Siska I can't tell you how much our family loves MemLok. It has really made memorizing bible scriptures much easier and we are getting closer to the Lord. It has opened up all kinds of discussions about God with our children, but most of all it is REALLY FUN!!! I can't thank you enough for this wonderful tool to help us memorize the scripture.

Bruce & Cynthia White Our kid's memory was not what it should have been until MemLok. Even our 3 and 4 year old love it, coloring the big printouts. Our kids range from 15 all the way down. We use MemLok every day. What a ministry to our lives. And, thanks for all the cool sites on your website. The family spent 4 hours at your site last night and we can't wait to go back. Thanks!!

Bob & Debi Dierdorf As a homeschooling family, it has also been great to have a system that automatically keeps track of progress.

Paul Kienel Associated Christian Schools International
I heartily recommend this program of Bible memory! It draws upon a proven method of recall that I used years ago in college.

Tim Ihms, Administrator, Surrey Garden Christian School, Gilbert, AZ We have used MemLok for the whole school, first through 8th grades, for the past 2 years. We like how students are able to progress at their own pace. Most students learn at least 30 verses a year, with some already knowing over 100 verses in the past 2 years. The parents report back to me that rarely a church sermon is preached that their son or daughter doesn't give them a nudge and say, "I know that verse, Mom and Dad". Thank you for a great program!

Learning Disabled L.L., Houston, TX
My 7 year old couldn't read and was tested "learning disabled with auditory memory deficit". He has learned a verse a week for 3 years and has never forgotten one. It gave him a visual clue to "hang-on" to. He can't wait to get his next picture! MemLok is perfect!
