May God richly bless you as you meditate on His Word!
Charles Swindoll, Insight For Living/Dallas Seminary, my pastor for years, said "I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding, practically speaking, than memorizing Scripture...No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends! Your prayer life will be strengthened. Your witnessing will be sharper and much more effective. Your attitudes and outlook will begin to change. Your mind will become alert and observant. Your confidence and assurance will be enhanced. Your faith will be solidified. Seasons of Life p53 (emphasis mine)

Hal Jensen THE NAVIGATORS
I have looked at many Bible memory systems over the last 25 years and . . .MemLok is the best I've seen. |

Larry Guthrie, ATI, Director of Educational Ministries, Camp Forest Springs This past summer we used your MemLok memory system with our staff. The program allowed us to customize the verses we memorized and allowed us to easily print out the verses we wanted to work on each week. We estimate that more than a thousand verses were committed to memory through the program. MemLok allowed for multiple users and was able to keep track of the 60+ participants. Everyone got a "kick" out of the visual clues that you used to prompt responses. Thank you for making the MemLok system available to us. It works!
Typing Tutor!
Sermon Preparation! Our son at Moody, when complimented on his sermons, explained they came from 8 years of doing MemLok using the Meditation Sheet. It has all his applications to draw on for his sermons. Nan B. WI As a pastor, I love MemLok. I have 45 computers licensed to use it so all the staff can benefit, and I just gave a copy to each of my three
pastor brothers on the East coast. Hmm. Do I like MemLok? Pastor D. O. in California Daryl Swartley I can't really meditate as I drive my tractor unless I've memorized the verse first. MemLok has made every verse seem as familiar as John 3:16 to me. Now, I'm much stronger in spiritual warfare. The memorized verses seem to "jump start" my prayer life and I'm comparing Scriptures to Scriptures more quickly now. Finally (you can tell MemLok has terrifically impacted me), I want you to know I've grown more through Scripture memory with MemLok than the formal correspondence Bible courses I've taken. Thank You!!
Jane B. Just wanted to let you know I completed your memory system this week, all 700 verses. Thanks for your wonderful program and please let me know if you publish any new programs in the future. I will recommend this to my friends and youth. Mark D Smith My kids, wife and I have over 40 verses or passages memorized word perfect with references and my daughter is a 4 year old. It has been a blast! I tell many people about MemLok. It is by far the best I've used and I have used (...) MemLok keeps us motivated. We have been at it for 10 straight months missing only two weeks.
People were amazed when they heard our 2 year old reciting verses! They had thought their children were too young. Thank you for your recent shipment of 18 MemLoks for these families who want to use it too!
Adult Sunday School Teacher Pasadena, CA Scott Lane This is truly the lazy man's way of doing Scripture memory! It's my 250th week using MemLok and it has changed the way I live my Christian Life!! I currently disciple men in 2 small groups in Houston Texas and challenge men regarding Scripture memory to count the cost before starting "Not the $50, but will you dedicate 5-10 minutes 5 days a week for the rest of your life?" Rev. Rodney G. Toews SCRIPTURE PRESS, Assistant to the Director, Wheaton, IL Pastor RL We used the reproduction license for MemLok cards at our last church with the pre-school-6th grades. It was fantastic. One 3 yr old just quoted 50 verses! We took your advice and sent the Completion Record home so the parents would hold the kids accountable. Thought you would want to know your program will now be starting in our newest church. Another member is donating it to the children's department! Debbie and Homer Curry My husband and I appreciate Mem-Lok so much. We have been following the
plan, nearly faithfully for 2 years now. We are learning different verses
so between the 2 of us we should have close to 400 verses learned -- with
the location. God gives us opportunities to remember verses. We are
giving this set to our best friends -- what better gift for someone you
love? Billy Graham says I am convinced that one of the greatest things we can do is to memorize Scripture. Billy Graham, Personal Thoughts of a Public Man p. 88 Karen Startt Our family (kids now 11,14) have absolutely loved MemLok these last two years. Now we are using it with 70 kids in our middle school in church. I find the verses come to mind just when I need them in my relationships. The character of my kids is being shaped by God's Word "in them" even when we don't realize it. Pastor Chris Witte Grace Family Church, MA
Ed Hughlett (used with adults church wide) Barbara Erickson Tyndale, Youth For Christ (as taken from p 297 The Life Application Bible) Roy Neblett God's voice is clearer to me everyday as He brings verses back to me in different circumstances. My ability to minister to others with God's words, rather than just feeling, is wonderful. My ability to do a mental cross-referencing when a preacher is preaching has enhanced my focus and attention to the message. I'm really just beginning to see that it means to "be transformed
by the renewing of your mind". I have a 30 minute commute to work and I'd do five minutes a day, 5 days a week. Today I just finished reviewing all my verses.I can recite 150+ verses. PTL Pam Lang Because of your categories, I am often able to minister the Sword to others in healing, comfort or evangelism. MemLok takes me to 12 passages on whatever subject I've memorized in the last 6 years. Praise God.
PS Knowing clearly the reference has made a huge difference!

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! Family in Phoenix (Received permission, but I "forgot" the name!) Aletha Knopp Support Group Leader, OR 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 5-10 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. |

Cathy Duffy Author Christian Home Educators Curriculum Manual
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! |

Mary Pride Author, Publisher Big Book of Home Learning
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. |

Lisa Whelchel Author, Actress So You're Thinking About Homeschooling, MOMTIME, Creative Correction
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. |

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.
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!! Bruce and Cynthia White As a homeschooling family, it has also been great to have a system that automatically keeps track of progress. Bob and Debi Dierdorf |

A Texan Lay Leader
At a Promise Keepers training session, one of the volunteer leaders from the Billy Graham Association quoted so many verses I was really amazed. Then he said MemLok is what he used. I'm really excited to use mine!

I heartily recommend this program of Bible memory! It draws upon a proven method of recall that I used years ago in college. |

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!

Be my guest. Please call me with your own story at 714-699-4462 Thanks, Drake. **Marine-New Christian I am a new Christian. Your well thought out system has helped me greatly. Thanks! On the Move! **Cult vs 5 yr Old Recently, a cult couple came down our street. Quickly, I had a meeting with my 5 yr old. She met them at the door and said all the verses on Deity she had learned the last 3 months. You had to be there! Proud Dad in Cincinatti **3 Yr Old Surprises! We just love MemLok. We laugh and laugh. My daughter is 6, but after 10 verses, our 3 year old surprised us and said them all, WORD for WORD! Thank you MemLok! Beth Giordano **19 Kids! MemLok works great with our 19 kids. FL **One Half Through MemLok! I drive a lot, so I'm nearly 1/2 way through MemLok (350 verses). Besides clearly impacting my lifestyle, it helps me in three key ways. 1. I am able to prepare lessons quickly, tying together ideas based on Scripture. 2. I can answer the question "What was that verse...?" most of the time. 3. I understand my Bible better, because I don't have to look up references often. Jane Brookshire, Torrance, CA
**Nothing to Lose!! By the way, I love MemLok! In addition to featuring it on our radio program, I also wrote a column about it for our homeschool newsletter. The PC version is perfect for our family -- nothing to lose! Jennifer Kids Quiz Mom! We are using MemLok in our home and it is a true blessing. My children never have to be asked, "Did you do your Bible memory?" They usually ask me if I have done mine yet. Even as a seminary student, memory work is difficult for me. MemLok is making a difference in my life and heart. Kim West Second Generation Four of my kids have come to saving knowledge of Christ over the last 8 years while using MemLok. My oldest is now teaching it to our 3 year old grandchild. The cycle goes on. Thank You! NB, Wisconsin 602 Verses! We're on verse 602. Review is still 5-10 minutes a day. Praise God for that Review System. Priscilla SD Leukemia & MemLok We lost a child to leukemia. While holding your sick child you can't read the Word. MemLok was the difference to draw on His strength. We've been using it 8 years, have 5 kids, and one is almost through it.The system is so balanced. OT and NT. It is ONE book, I tell my kids!!! Thanks again for your ministry in our lives. Name withheld Saved My Neck! Scripture memory (using MemLok) has saved my neck. My husband had quad bypass, and 3 kids have just left home. I have MemLok on my startup on all 3 computers. Personally, it has made all the difference in the world. Lisa Graham Fighting Satan I LOVE IT.!!! I have been convicted that when our Lord responded to Satan in the desert He used the Word of God - not "an opinion or what He thought it said as best as he could remember." I very much desire to be able to correctly quote Bible verses so that I may employ effectively our chief weapon of warfare. Sandy I. 13 Year old Changed!! We've used MemLok for 6 years. Our 13 year old has about 300 verses in her heart and it has changed her life. JG The References! Another great thing about MemLok is that it forces me to memorize the references as well. When I tried Bible memorization before it was easy to overlook this part. It's so wonderful to not only know the verses, but their "addresses" as well. Husbands & Wives! Every morning at 730 am or later, my husband and I review our verses together. We are beginning to talk more about the verses and find them popping up in our conversations. We were blessed to find the MemLok system. We prayed for something of real worth to share together. Little did we realize the power of God's Word to knit our hearts and minds together. C & J, living in God's grace 2 Year Old We had been working with our 4 year old daughter on her MemLok verses one day when out of the blue our 2 year old daughter said, "Bad company corrupts good character. 1 Corinthians 15:33"!!! We hadn't even been working with her at all on this. I was proven wrong when I thought she was too young to start MemLok. It's a wonderful way to instill God's word into our wee little ones as well as their parents!! M. Peller Mesa, AZ. Encouraging Words! Thank you for the encouraging words and hints that are included in the computer version of MemLok. Today's was your hint for praying Psalm 119:18 before doing your verses. That is a wonderful idea. Now I am using that verse for any scripture reading I sit down to do. BH Daily Fruit! The Lord has so richly blessed our family as we have worked together to memorize His word; we see the fruit almost daily in our lives. We have been "doing our MemLok" together as a family for about 14 months now, and even our 3 year old daughter has memorized almost 6 topics. She was not quite two years old when we started, but she picked up on it readily, just hearing us practice together. She will often finish a line for us if we hesitate. The Boyd Musick Family Monterey, VA Late Reader No More Our 12 year old son was a late reader, and used to struggle with memorization of any kind - now he's the quickest of us all. We see our children (and ourselves!) growing and maturing in the Lord, able to discern between foolishness and wisdom, and we know that having the Word "hidden" in our hearts has been of tremendous benefit to us all. The Boyd Musick Family Monterey, VA NT Books in 5 Min Flat! I am in my second year of using MemLok in my homeschool and the system is really working for us. My children are in an AWANA program at our church and had to learn the books of the New Testament. I remembered Say the Books! and used the New Testament House...my third grader was saying the NT books in five minutes flat! Even as a MemLok user, I was amazed. Therese S. Learning Disability MemLok is the only successful way my son has ever memorized Scripture in our homeschool. He has a learning disability and the pictures have really helped him. Pam S. Software or Notebook? I just love Memlok. I started using your program in 1996. Wow, it has been over ten years! It took me a long time to get into the good habits of meditating on God's word. I just did not give up and I am so thankful for the help that you have given me to hide God's word in my heart. I originally purchased the notebook set and it is still my favorite. I moved on to the computer version, but I rarely ever used it. My computer crashed a few months ago and I lost computer set. Recently, I lost my first set of verses that I memorized. I love these cards and I am heart broken that I have lost a set that I have had for over ten years. I have decided that I will keep my notebook set and home so that I will be less likely to lose them. I can print out computer sets to travel and take with me on my day. I pull these cards out when ever I have a free minute. ..waiting in line... when I am a passenger in a car...when I am waiting to meet a friend...well, you get the picture. This is way too much detail, I just want to express my gratitude that God has placed this ministry on your heart. He has used it to mature me in Him and to draw me closer to Him.
