“Rob Wynalda's The 17:18 Series encapsulates the biblical mandate to write Scripture on the tables of our hearts. By writing out Scripture ourselves and buttressing that with answering questions and taking notes about the texts, we will grow immensely in hiding the Word in our hearts and exemplifying it in our lives. This series of books is suitable for children and adults, for lay people and ministers, for Bible study classes and private devotions. Try a volume yourself. By the Spirit's grace, your soul will prosper, and you will want to write out the whole of Scripture.”
- Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids
“There is an old proverb that says, 'Thoughts disentangle themselves when passing over the lips and through the finger tips.' The 17:18 Series which encourages us to actually write out the words of Scripture will be a tremendous tool in putting that proverb into action in our daily lives. I am happy to commend this project.”
- Jerry Bridges, a longtime staff member of the Navigators and author of The Pursuit of Holiness
“Several years ago I read an article about copying the Scriptures by hand. I tried it with the Pastoral Epistles, writing out all three books with a fountain pen in my journal, and found it a profitable exercise. I am glad to see this series of journals appear, and I hope they are widely used.”
- Donald S. Whitney, Associate Professor of Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville
“I really enjoy this resource because it causes me to slow down and to think about what I’m reading and writing, to meditate on aspects of the Word that I otherwise might just skim. It’s true that I don’t have time to read as big a chunk of Proverbs every day that I usually do, but what time I do have is rich with new insight and meaning.”
