Discover the Scriptures has free materials for a 12 week challenge to memorize The Living Christ. If you start this week, your 12th week will end on Christmas Eve.

I usually find out about this too late to start, but got on their mailing list, so received this notice today! We will experiment tonight and see how it goes. I think it will be a great way to prepare for Christmas. Elder Scott promised us that, “Great power can come from memorizing scriptures.”

So... in case you would like to try this with your family, click on the link below:

Discover the Scriptures - The Living Christ

Click HERE for some miniature copies of each week’s paragraph. I’m going to put these in my kids’ lunches so they can review it at lunch time. I, at least, need to review the words over and over again throughout the day for it to really stick. I’m hoping this will help them, too.

You can download a free Living Christ app for your iPhone HERE (it has the text and is beautifully done).

To download an audio recording of The Living Christ, click HERE.

HERE is another source for lessons on The Living Christ, which you could use in conjunction with memorizing it....

This Site has some beautiful, artistic memorization cards - more for teenagers.

Good luck!

Jan 2012: For the record, I completed this goal as did my 10-year old daughter. My 8-year old daughter memorized half of it! I’m certain she could have finished it too, if I had kept on the ball with quizzing, reminding and helping, but I dropped the ball the last month as I became busy with other things. Still, I think half is excellent! I’d like to help her memorize the other half before Easter.

My boys (5 and 7) started with us, but again, I dropped the ball with them and let them drop out early on. We’ll see what we can manage in the future.
