SHOW & TELL #6 - Scripture Memory Books
Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Go over to Kelli's, at There Is No Place Like Home, to find out all about it and join in. 
This week I am sharing 3 books, which represent 3 years, of Adult Bible Memory that I began on December 16, 1976. Each week you would have 5 or 6 verses to memorize. The following week you would recite them to an assigned "coach" who would initial and date that page. 
This is Book 2 which I began in December, 1977.
This is a one of the pages of Book 2 as an example. You can see "lw 7-2-78 very good!" marked by my coach.
This is the 3rd and final book I began in December, 1978.I truly believe with all my heart "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." Psalms 119:11 I was just a few days from my 39th birthday!!! It is never to late to begin planting God's word in our heart.

Great post Susan, love your books and your desire to learn the verses in them!
What treasures! All of the verses I memorized as a child were in the King James version....thankfully, they are similar enough that when I helped my own children learn the New International Version....it wasn't too confusing!
What a treasure, however, to hide the Word of our Lord in our hearts!!!!

I love your Show & Tell today! What a great motivation.
Thank you for sharing these with us!
BEAUTIFUL!
I learned a great deal of scripture as a child. I am so thankful for that! Today I love the scripture songs that keep the Word in my heart as well. I have short term memory loss and it is very difficult to retain things. It's amazing what I can remember from my childhood. I am so thankful that I learned the Word at that time.
Love the post Susan. You never cease to amaze me :) Love You!
Great treasures! It is never too late--just takes a little longer to memorize sometimes!
Very special books indeed, dear Susan! I think it's amazing that you were able to memorize all the scriptures in there...shows you truly believe! xox
I always thought of memorizing verses as something for children. Thanks for the reminder that it is for everyone.
Extraordinary! You should be very proud of learning all those verse. "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11
What a wonderful post and I enjoyed seeing your special treasures!!

What a wonderful practice! It's neat to use books like that for systematic memorizing. Somehow we just don't seem to do it much otherwise.
