What if this became normal?
Children memorizing chapters. Families memorizing books. God's Word part of everyday life.
We believe children are capable of memorizing more than isolated verses. Families can learn entire passages and books together and understand what they mean.
By the Book exists to provide the tools that help ordinary families memorize extraordinary amounts of Scripture.

Emily memorized Ephesians half rote, and half with By the Book. FIVE YEARS LATER, she has forgotten the rote half, but can recite WORD PERFECT the BtB half.
Faith's family did NOT REVIEW Acts 7 since childhood. In college years later, she was able to recite all 53 verses WORD PERFECT.

Audrey's Sunday School class is memorizing MATTHEW 5-7 as their pastor PREACHES through it.
You already have a book of the Bible’s worth of words memorized.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Think about how many songs you can sing without looking up the lyrics. How much work was it to memorize those? Lyrics stick in a way that rote memory doesn't. Rote memory asks a child to remember every individual word in its order. A melody ties the whole passage together in one piece — causing memory to seem almost accidental.
We set word for word Scripture to music for the purpose of memorization. These auditory memorization tracks are what we call a Schmideo!

Auditory Memorization Tracks are the base of our memorization strategy. For some, the visual aspect reinforces the audio. Since these videos are so odd, we decided to give them a more creative name; hence the "schmideo" was born.

Make it a Family Adventure
Memory Camp is a community of like-minded families that come together each year to memorize a chapter of the Bible in a week! Meet other families that are crazy enough to spend their yearly family vacation fellowshipping and memorizing extraordinary amounts of the Word of God together.
Together our By the Book community has memorized over 50,000+ verses and counting!
Built for families.
Rooted in the local church.
We believe that long term growth takes place within the systems and structures of family and church that God designed. We believe that parents are the primary disciplers of their children, and local churches bear the primary responsibility of equipping and encouraging their sheep. Our role is to come alongside parents and churches with tools to fulfill their jobs joyfully and effectively in Scripture immersion.
Because of this, although By the Book is legally a separate entity, By the Book is under the spiritual eldership & authority of Cornerstone Bible Church in Lake Stevens, WA.
