I'm looking for some opinions/reviews of: Why You Really Can Memorize Scripture
Hoping some of you may have read this. It's part of the New Year's Sale so I want to grab it before the sale ends if the resource is as good as its title sounds.

That book has 4.5 stars from 167 ratings on Amazon.
You can tell which Amazon reviews are fake bots by how they are written. The ones on this particular book seem human. So Amazon can be a good place to see book reviews, if nowhere else. That is its their original business model after all.
I support the statement that "you can" memorize scripture. As for me, back in grade school my best friend's church gave us flash cards with little easy scriptures on them. We got a toy the next Sunday if we could recite it. To this day I still remember them verbatim.And things like Ray Comfort's claim of not missing a day of Bible reading for forty years or so. So these kinds of things are possible in my mind. Most people just don't do it.
What I'm concerned with is the absence of the "number of pages" on the Faith Life store page. Why would they hide that important piece of information?
Either way I don't think a five dollar mistake would break your budget.

Go the old fashioned way: Repetition, repetition, repetition!

I'm 69. As a teenager, I memorized chapters from the Gospel of John. I still remember most of them. At 69 my brain does not work like that anymore so I hoping for another way.'

John, unfortunately age will always affect us. I knew a brother who had memorized Psalm 119 and he quoted it every year at a lectureship where he was invited every year. The last few years of gis life, it didn’t go that well since he was older and was having problems remembering it even though he refreshed memorization every January. So there will not be a magic pill, just be aware of that.
