The Conference That Changed Everything
- At 35, Janet heard a woman recite Colossians and decided to memorize Scripture herself, starting with Ephesians and finishing it in about six months.
- Completing Ephesians convinced her that the Bible was knowable and changed her view of Scripture memorization.
