Also, we need a good techinique on reviewing which has been explored heavily in psychology.Īt the end of the book, he mentions that his verbatim method is just tying in peg words relating to the verse numbers. The actions from visual image to visual image have to make sense in a story and not just be a list of associations carreening left and right with objects and people popping up at random. What I found was missing was what I call literary logic, a necessary part of helping you to remember how the story flows from keyword to keyword and that requires a relevant story to back it. The keywords do relate to the verses but I have issues. These sections are about Samaritan opposition and the cost of following Jesus. (verses 61 and 62) Strengthen all your associations when you review the picture and the explanations. (verses 58, 59, and 60) The man wearing a dunce hat has one hand on a plow while he waves good-by to a house. Next you see a Cross along a road (verse 57) A fox coming out of a hole rests its head on a coffin that has the “FATHER” on it. (verse 52) A large fire is about to consume a small village to remind you of verses 53 through 56. (verse 51) A Western Union messenger wearing a dunce hat is standing next to the jar and ham. Here’s an excerpt from Luke 9:įind the Cross looking at a jar wrestling a ham. Without relevancy and more reinforcement I wasn’t able to continue a line of study without my current system. His mind must have been a beautiful place to live because he was able to capture all these seemingly random and bizarre pictures and keep them there. He then spends about 250 pages on many non-relevant associations which are hard for me to remember. But if you don’t know that book, you should find a place in your library for at least a used copy. Jerry writes about 50 basic pages of a summary of using the Major system and substitute words from what was written in the book he co-authored with the late Harry Lorayne, The Memory Book (1975). Right now I am in the middle of John and I think it’s going well. I prepared about 600 pages of material backed by psychological studies to understand what the best system would be for getting to the same point that Jerry has published. I have been working on developing the same type of system without knowing how Jerry did his. He follows the four books from verse to verse picking out important themes and tying them together in associations that connect in basic stories. And it’s a good thing because his attempt at creating a system for memorizing the gist of the Gospels is groundbreaking. After Larry Dinkens on the Bible Memory Goal site mentioned Jerry Lucas as a source for Bible memorization, I realized that I should have gotten a copy of his Remember the Word so I did.
