We also had a huge bible story book called "Hurlbut's Stories of the Bible" (bought from a traveling salesman) that Mom would read to us every night.

I quizzed alot. At one point I had memorized the entire gospel of John.

My Mom and Dad put a love for the Word in me.

Four times through at the age of 12! That's amazing! How wonderful that your mom took time to do that with you.

A missionary friend of mine - Sis. Georgene Shalm - started reading and reciting Scripture and Bible stories to her daughter as a newborn. I thought that was pretty neat.
