Taking the Word to Heart - Nancy Taylor - Bog

More than a decade ago, Nancy Taylor made a commitment to memorize one verse of scripture a week for 52 weeks, with the goal of quoting all 52 verses at the conclusion of that year. Never could she have conceived what God had in store for her through this simple commitment to hide His Word in her heart. Taking the Word to Heart guides readers through five essential, yet practical, steps to not only memorize scripture, but to grip it tightly enough to cause life transformation. Readers will discover that the purpose of memorizing scripture is not for discipline sake only, but for gaining a greater knowledge of God, developing an obedient heart and a life of trust in God through practically living out the hidden Word. "The longer I walk with Christ and help others do the same, the more convinced I am of how critical it is that I hide God's Word in my heart. Its impact on my own life and transformation is unparalleled. Nancy's book Taking the Word to Heart encourages, equips, and empowers disciples and disciple-makers to make Scripture memory a practical part of our Christian walk." Margaret Fitzwater, Co-Director, Navigator Church Ministries, The Navigators "In Taking the Word to Heart Nancy does an amazing job of inviting you to taste and experience the transforming power of God's Word. There is nothing more important than memorizing and meditating on Scripture, and this is, by far, the best and most practical book on the subject I have ever read."
