How to Learn and Memorize the Psalms of the Bible … Using a Memory Palace System Specifically Designed for Biblical Memorization

by Anthony Metivier

How to Learn and Memorize The Psalms of the Bible … Using a Memory Palace System Specifically Designed for Biblical Memorization. If you'd like to improve your ability to learn, memorize and recall the Psalms of the Bible by as much as 100%, 200%, even 300% (or more) ... using simple memory techniques that you can learn in 15-20 minutes (or less), then this may be the most important book that you will ever read. Believe it or not, it really doesn't matter if you think you have a good memory or not. The information in this book will teach * Why memory is like a bicycle everyone can ride (with some minor personal adjustments). * The real reason why no one should ever be squeamish about memorization or memorizing all 150 Psalms. * Why and how some of the most famous memory skills are applicable to memorizing poetry, especially the Psalms. * How you can easily create a "Psalm location" memory system based on an easy-to-use principle that lets you imagine your way through places you already know and love. * Unique memory techniques that will have you literally "tuning in" on the language of the Psalms. * Two secret ways you can use relaxation to aid the memorization process. These two methods alone are worth the price of this book because they will literally eliminate your stress and apprehension as you memorize the Psalms. * And much, much more ... These techniques have been used by real Bible students and scholars, most of whom previously considered themselves owners of a "bad memory," to make real strides in learning and memorizing the Psalms. Don't worry! None of these techniques are rocket science and they certainly don't require brain surgery or a PhD. Frankly, if you can memorize a short email address or the name of a movie, then you can use this system to memorize poetry as rich and diverse as the Psalms. Plus, everything you'll learn in this book applies to every other part of the Bible. And with a little imagination, the system you'll learn is easily transferable to other poetry too. But there's really no time to lose. Every day that you are not using this simple memorization system, you are literally stealing from yourself the joy of being able to effortlessly learn, memorize, recall and recite the Psalms as you easily expand the natural abilities of your mind.

Reviews

[Sean · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have read a few books by Metivier. As a prolific writer on psalms he has clearly established a way fo workig that produces results. Although he borrows from other writers on the subject he has also establsihed his own approach. I have not yet made my mind up on how mcuh of Metivier's system I shoudl take on board. The key issue is finding a system that works for me. The Mind Palace System is attractive and the challenge of memorising all 150 pslalms is a lifetime goal. A helpful addition.

Good coverage of technique

I like the way the techinque was discussed, however it becomes annoying when you get forced out of your way from reading the book because you'd have to go through the links (external references) on the web or watch his YouTube clips (and ads of his other service offerings and newsletters). Would have been more beneficial if all those external references are packed in this same book - then it would make the reader more focused in one place and less confusing.

The author lays out an easy to follow way to improve memory and retention, I found this very useful.

While it is clear that this specific book is a hasty find/replace adaptation of his French book to Psalms (there are multiple references to learning languages rather than memorizing poetry), the theory seems sound and relatively well presented. Investing in one book by the author may be worth it to get the grounding, but don't buy two! I intend to apply the techniques learned here. I also submitted quite a few typo reports.
