And much has stuck firmly in my head because I repeat it to myself often, even if the rest is gone. Yes, you can retain things long term; you just have to revise them periodically (once a year? once every few years? Probably no rules on this). I am planning to revise these books myself once I've finished learning Colossians. It will be pretty much a re-learn, but that's okay! Spending any time in God's word is worth doing, whether you remember every detail or not. And yes, there will be some hints about this in my next post. :)<br /><br />Love Jean.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538502318975037711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276278342039529509.post-31126511886984312162012-06-18T12:16:24.214+10:002012-06-18T12:16:24.214+10:00Thanks for this encouragement, Jean.

Any tips on how to lodge Bible passages into your brain for the long-term? How often do you have to recite a passage to make it "stick"? <br />Fiona McLeanFiona McLeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7276278342039529509.post-60529378941697899612012-06-07T12:24:01.889+10:002012-06-07T12:24:01.889+10:00Yay Jean, that is awesome, I am so excited about t...Yay Jean, that is awesome, I am so excited about these posts. I am a huge fan of this kind of memorising- I agree that it is easier to do in chunks and it is great knowing the context of some of the great verses. I memorised the crucifiction of Jesus from Mark and it is still to this day one of the most encouraging things I have done for my Christian faith. You learn so deeply and notice everything when you memorise. Once (I don't know if I could do this all the time) I memorised a chapter that I was going to cover in Bible study, and it was by far the most effective style of Bible study prep I have ever done- because I knew the passage back to front.<br />BelindaBGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238456366411924616noreply@blogger.com
