Throughout the day I would hear the words
of the songs playing over and over in my mind. Meditating on these
words and considering what they really meant changed my attitude,
reactions, and interactions. I constantly reminded myself that my
circumstances are not about me, but Christ who lives in me. I was less
quick to be selfish, disagreeable, or complaining about my situations
and circumstances. I am determined to allow God to work in areas of my
life that are hard places for me.
This study of God’s Word has been a great
time of fellowshipping and sharing with others. It has been wonderful
to hear what God is doing in the lives of my fellow sisters in the
Lord. As Paul the author of Philippians said, “...being confident of
this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to
completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Many years ago I began
hiding God’s Word in my heart out of obedience to the Scriptures.
Since that time I’ve followed with interest dozens of approaches to
Scripture memory. One which I recently reviewed I found profoundly
powerful and unlike any I’ve seen before: The Bible Study in
Stereo (TBSIS).
TBSIS not only
makes memorizing entire chapters of the Bible attainable for
almost anyone, it further enhances encounters with God’s Word by
including the additional components of study and meditation. The idea
of so closely aligning Scripture memory, study, and meditation is the
central unique aspect I’ve seen in no other material. There are
huge benefits that flow from this distinctive approach of TBSIS.
Any individual or group who seriously uses this wonderful tool
to study and ponder the Scriptures will find that the Word will go
deep into their hearts and experience its life transforming
power!

I memorized a hundred
verses my first year as a new Christian. That was one of the most
beneficial things I have ever done in my spiritual life. Verses that I
learned 35 years ago have flashed before me at crucial times to
encourage, convict, correct or guide me. Consequently I have desired
to master whole chapters that I can recite from memory, but I
struggled to do so successfully. Then I heard about The Bible Study
in Stereo. Once or twice a day I followed the words to James 1 as
I sang along. Within a week or two I could sing the whole chapter
without even looking.
The study notes have
helped me to meditate on the verses that I am implanting into my
heart. Now I often wake up with Scripture on my mind. I have been so
blessed by this quality product. The Bible Study in Stereo has
given me joy and answered a deep need in my life. Thank you.

Our women did the
The Bible Study in Stereo for the first time last spring, and it
was so exciting to see women memorizing and meditating on the Word of
God. Personally, it was life changing as the words that I was singing
became active in my thoughts and actions throughout the day. I really
believe that our spiritual growth is dependent upon how much time and
focus we spend on the Word of God. I highly recommend this curriculum,
and I am looking forward to doing another chapter in Philippians this
spring!

Just finished my study
and was thinking what a blessing it has been. I can't believe that
this has not been done before. It truly is a blessing. We can't wait
for the next one. We are 2 weeks from our "party," but want to have
the new study so we don't have a week without it.
I personally want to
thank you (and the Lord!) for this study. It's the first time I've
ever memorized this many verses. I wake in the middle of the night and
they are "playing" in my head. May God continue to bless your
ministry.

Me, memorize
Scripture? No way, maybe you, but not me. Those were my thoughts as I
began the Colossians 3 Bible study. I did a little of the study each
morning and then put the CD in my Walkman for my afternoon walk.
Before I knew it, I could sing every word! The best part, though, was
the change that occurred in my heart. As I saturated myself in God’s
Word through study and song, its meaning became more clear. The result
was that the Lord was then able to make needed changes in my life. The
Holy Spirit still brings His Word back to mind when I start to go off
track.

I am doing your study on Ephesians 4 and I
am overjoyed with the study and its concept. Scriptures are on my lips
or in my mind continuously! The study questions, on the surface, seem
readily answered with short clips of Scripture, and perhaps some respond
as such. I, however, have found myself increasingly wanting to "give
flesh" to my answers. The result being that I am forced to define my
faith and my Spiritual walk. I am in my late 50s and no novice to Bible
study, having done all but the latest of Beth Moore's studies and
Experiencing God, etc. Your study, however, has touched me very
personally, both by the music and the depth of the seemingly simple
questions. Thank you for following your God-given talent and passion,
and may God continue to bless you through this ministry.

I believe women want a
deeper understanding of God in order to infuse their lives with joy
and peace. Meditating on God's Word is the only way I know to achieve
this goal. The Bible Study in Stereo allows individuals the
opportunity to study and memorize God's Word using their sight and
hearing. They then memorize God's word easily while they sing and make
those words come alive in study. The permanent impact is evident in
the lives of the people who complete The Bible Study in Stereo.

Twenty-one years ago I
attended my first women’s Bible study. Since then I have been involved
with prominent Bible studies through various women’s ministries at home
and by myself. The Bible Study in Stereo has been unique for two
reasons.
For one, there has been
application daily. I could feel God’s Holy Spirit moving in my life!
Secondly, there have been applications months later. Because the verses
are memorized and meditated upon, verses from God’s precious Word “pop
out” many months after the study is over to encourage me
to change my
life.
If you want just to gain
head knowledge, this may not be the study for you. If you want to see
fruit in your life like never before, then The Bible Study in Stereo is
like finding a precious jewel.

My journey with The Bible Study in
Stereo began at our yearly women's retreat. One evening a group of
ladies who had participated in the studies in the past gathered to sing
Scripture together. As I watched them, their enthusiasm and excitement
in singing God's Word got my attention, as I had always thought
memorizing Scripture was time-consuming and hard work. The ladies made
it look easy and fun.
So, I decided to give it a try even
though my time is very limited, as I am the mother of a toddler and
pregnant with another child. Who would have thought in just 2 weeks, I
would have memorized 30 verses; 30 verses that are now implanted in
my memory for the Holy Spirit to continue to use in my life.
Listening to the verses throughout the
day brought such a peace to my life. I loved having my son listen to the
music and my husband ended up learning the verses as well.
The study was also a great
encouragement to me as it made the words come alive, so I was able to
understand what I was memorizing. From this insight I was able to apply
the Scriptures to my life. They were no longer just words on a page.
The Bible Study in Stereo is an
incredible way to learn God's Word. It is so much more than I ever
thought it would be.

When I was asked to co-lead The Bible Study in
Stereo on Philippians 1,
I knew that was God’s will for me. I thought I would be facilitating one
of the small groups and that all of us would be singing along with the
CD. When I realized that I was to lead the singing, I shook my head in
bewilderment thinking, “Is this really true?” You see, I can’t read
music or carry a tune, and I would be the last one picked to be on a
worship team. I had never done anything like this before and I felt like
a fish out of water. I went before the Lord in prayer. I asked Him to
anoint me to do this. I praise Him, for when I am before the ladies, I
know His presence is with me and I know He is leading through me as we
sing His Word. Each week after we finish singing, I am refreshed!
In the past when I read Philippians 1, I casually
read over the section of Paul’s greeting and his love for the church. By
studying this section verse by verse, God has shown me such wonderful
truths that I can apply to my life. It has been exciting to have
experiences during the week that allow me to put in practice what I
learned. I thank God for The Bible Study in Stereo and how my
life has been enriched because of it.

Over the years I have
found quiet peace reading my Bible and praying while alone in places
like Fire & Ice at Heather Meadows or on Ptarmigan Ridge, both at Mt.
Baker (in Washington state), and at Reflection lake near Mt. Rainier.
I first turned on the CD coming down from the Heather Meadows area
with my windows open to the August summer heat and following a
serpentine highway dodging in and out of the shadows, all the while
feeling a certain joy.
I can not find a way to express how it capped off a wonderful time
alone with out Creator. Thanks!
