Unlock the Power to Memorize the Bible: The Timeless Techniques of William Evans

Who better to teach how to memorize Bible verses than a man who memorized the entire King James Version of the Bible—plus the New Testament of the American Standard Version? Dr. William Evans, the very first graduate of Moody Bible Institute and former Director of its Biblical Studies Department, was not only a master teacher of the Word, but a living example of its retention.

Originally written in 1919, Dr. Evans’ Bible memory techniques remain unmatched in clarity, simplicity, and effectiveness. His system doesn’t rely on gimmicks or fleeting tricks. Instead, it offers time-tested principles rooted in discipline, understanding, and practice—principles still used today by those serious about Bible study and memory.

In this classic work, Evans explains:

“It has been said that ‘all other abilities of the mind borrow from memory their beauty and perfection.’ Of what profit is all our wisdom, our reading, our study, if we are unable to preserve the knowledge we have acquired? Memory is the treasurer of the mind.”

Whether you're young or old, new to Scripture or a seasoned student, Dr. Evans’ guidance on how to memorize the Bible will deepen your grasp of God’s Word and equip you to carry it with you—word for word, verse by verse—wherever you go.

Most modern books and websites offering Bible memorization techniques are merely echoing what Dr. Evans pioneered over a century ago. Now you can learn from the source.
