How to Memorize
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
William Evans memorized the entire King James version of the Bible plus the New Testament of the American Standard Version. Who better to teach memorization?
Although written in 1919, Dr. Evans’ scripture memorization techniques are still used today. Most books and websites that attempt to sell memorization techniques are largely using Dr. Evan’s ideas.
His techniques for memorizing the Bible are simple, clear, practical and have immediate benefit. They work regardless of your age.
William Evans writes:
It has been said that "all other abilities of the mind borrow from memory their beauty and perfection."
In a very real sense it is true that all other faculties of the soul are useless without memory. Of what profit is all our wisdom, our reading, our study if we are unable to preserve the knowledge we have acquired? Of what benefit to us are all the intellectual attainments of our lives if they are lost as soon as they are obtained? Memory makes rich the mind by preserving all the results of our study and learning...Memory is the treasurer of the mind.
