The Launch

Welcome to Verse Bursts, the blog. I launched this blog to test market to coaches or quizzers some newly developed tools for remembering scriptures.

Putting scripture to song certainly is not new. But, it is effective. Statistically, we remember more lastingly what we not only hear, but also what we see and speak. With that in mind, I am developing a few tools:

  • Scripture Songs - these are the 272 Junior Bible Quiz verses for the Heroes of the Bible 2006-2007 Quiz Year sung to tunes. They will be available on a CD-R set as .cda audio files. This means that they are playable on a traditional CD player or on a computer.

  • Scripture Songs MP3- these are the same verses as above, only in an MP3 format for those who wish to play them on either a CD which plays MP3s or for synchronizing with an MP3 player.

  • Scripture Interactive! - this CD set consists of PowerPoints which include dynamic, interactive displays of verses accompanied by audio. One need not have PowerPoint software as they are saved in a PowerPoint show format which includes the PowerPoint viewer. Questions and factoids accompany the interactive verses.

Currently, I am in the process of creating beta versions of these products which I hope to distribute. This blog will then serve the purpose of receiving feedback on this project.

Hi John,



Paul just wanted to let you know that the song verses CD that you gave him has really helped him a lot. He knows the first 13 verses of Genesis 7. He’s trying to learn verses 14, 16 & 17 today, because he already knows verse 15. He listens to your CD every night, and it has really made a difference. Thanks so much.



Love,



Carol and Paul

You are so technically astute (like dad). I'll have to listen to one of these CDs. In the meantime, I read your quizzing blog. Cool! One of these days, I'll get caught up with doing blogs.

I am writing this from the Connell's computer.

Well all righty then. Talk to you later.

Hey- congrats on the new addition to the family. I heard you had a little one born yesterday! What a power house you've got there. Can't wait to visit the upper room again. Regarding the scripture songs...would they be appropriate for the toddler to preschool age (2 yrs, 3 mos)? Thanks & take good care~
