Correction to previous posts (sorry!): 1) look over verses to be memorized in the Review section. 2) notice lowest-numbered two-verse passage from Romans in list. 3) click the Romans Project on the right side of the page. 4) Click on the red "The Romans Project" to have the list open of all the verses open. 5) select the two-verse passage that I noted in #2 to review. 6) after successful review, select "Next Verse" and it will go to the next verse in Romans (because that is where you are reviewing -- within The Romans Project , not in your review). Then I continue to the end of all my verses that I have memorized. Again, sorry for the wrong info earlier.

I should have said: and after I review that one, click on "Next Verse" and it would go to the next verse in the passage. (Example: Romans 1:15-16, Romans 1:11-12 and Romans 1:17-18 are due -- in that order. I would start with Romans 1:11-12 then click "Next Verse." It would go to Romans 1:13-14, then when I click "Next Verse" it would go to Romans 1:15-16.

Regarding verse order (winslowlady and McKenzie G.):
I realized that I could scan my verses that are due for a review, pick the earliest one from a passage (the one with the lowest verse number), and after I review that one, click on "Next Verse" and that keeps them in order. I had the same issue: verses being out of order in review because I had reviewed some less frequently. ***I think that I will try a suggestion from the forums, the memorizing section. I will pick a day of the week and start at the beginning and review all the verses, one after another.

McKenzie

Hi, winslowlady! There are only two ways I know of that your verse order could get out-of-order like that. 1) Based on your review schedule. Verses that need to be reviewed sooner will appear on top in your review library. On the Review page, it will show you the total # of times you have typed a verse from memory and how many days until review is needed. You may need to review certain verses more frequently until all your verses are on the same schedule. That way, they will appear in order. I hope that makes sense! 2) If you are using the app, there is an actual "Rearrange" button that will allow you to reorder verses in any collection. You may have accidentally hit that. If so, you can fix it by going into the collection, hit the "Rearrange" button, and select "Bible Verse Order", and the verses will be put back in order. I hope that all makes sense and that one of these scenarios will fix it for you! Blessings, McKenzie

Hi, debacon! This group page is specifically for Ann Voskamp's The Romans Project group. You can get started by following the Instructions at the top of this page. First, select one of The Romans Project boxes (it doesn't matter which one) on the Memory Verses tab. A pop-up will appear with a drop-down menu to select your translation. Now you are ready to start memorizing! To get back to your verses in the future, simply login to the website and go to Scripture Memory>>Verse Library. Your verses will appear in the right column. Let us know if you have any other specific questions! Happy Memorizing!

Becky that is awesome. I keep thinking I have Romans 1 and most of 8 memorized but those little "ands" or "if" or "but" keep me frustrated! And I seem to have verses memorized but the review verses are messed up and so I don't review one after the other. So when I go from the top down, I don't know what verse comes next sometimes. I don't know how the review verses got scattered up.

....filled with wickedness, evil, greed and depravity....
....full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.....

Hi Madre! First, check out the Getting Started page on the main menu under Scripture Memory->Getting Started. Then, come back to the Romans Project group page and select the verse collection from the Memory Verses tab. The verses are already entered for you, and you type them to make memorization easier. Please let us know if you have questions! Blessings, Brett

Alison, we have tried to duplicate the problem to fix it, but verses 15 and 16 appear for us, so we're not quite sure what is causing the problem for you. However, you can add (or import) Romans 1:15-16 on your own, then add it to your Romans Project collection by checking the Romans Project box when you import the verse. Your progress on those two verses won't be included with the group progress, but at least you will have all the verses in one place for review. Sorry for your trouble!

Hello,
I'm having trouble posting my prayer requests! They do not appear when I post them. The first time, I ended up Contacting Scripture Typer and Brett responded to me and posted in for me. I have since tried two more times, and cannot figure it out. Once, I managed to find a place where it said The Romans Project with a box to check, but I cannot find that place again. Today is a hugely critical day in regards to my request, and I covet your prayers!!! Please help me, as I keep trying to succeed and cannot.
Hi :) I'm using the NIV 1984 version and it seems that verses 15 and 16 are missing. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it possible to add them to the Romans Project group of verses? Currently I just added those verses as stand alone verses. Thanks! :)
Hi everyone, I just found this site today and am anxious to get started. verses 1 and 2 took me an hour. Hopefully tomorrow i won't be so slow. Looking forward to keeping up with how everyone is doing. blessings to you all, Kim

Hello,
I have started using this website last week and I really can see how helpful it is - somehow my verses feel more "solid" in my memory now :-) I would love to install the app on my ipad, but I cannot find it through the apple store - is it because I live in South Africa? Is it not available here? Many thanks

Thanks, Brett! That makes sense. Thank you for your work on this program. It has been such a help to me!
Hi @RaisingEbenezers! You are correct on the way the app/website currently function. We will be updating the website to also only increment review counts once per day. This keeps the review list from getting jumbled up, and also keeps verses from being pushed way out in the review system. We've found that pushing a verse out 10 days because you memorized it 10 times in one day is not beneficial for long term memory. It's just taking a little time to get the website updated. Blessings, Brett
I realize this is a First World suggestion, but I have found the iPhone/iPad app definitely worth the price of $5.99 (think that is what I paid) because it allows me to practice no matter where I am. If you have both iPhone and iPad, you only need buy it for one of your devices b/c of the sharing by iOS. So glad to be part of this group. Blessings!

Raising Ebenezers
I

Am I doing something wrong... I think the app only records one successful attempt per verse per day but I think the website counts each one no matter the day. I was hoping the app would count each one. I find the tally to be encouraging to review it more than once a day.
A heads up for anyone who wants an alternative way to practice: I just bought a Keeplets bracelet last week, and this is an *awesome* way to keep your verses on you throughout the day. I'll be buying one for my sister, who is also doing the Romans Project (shh! don't tell her!) :) Thought y'all might be interested. http://www.etsy.com/shop/keeplets
Thanks, Brett G. Great directions. I now am set up with the version I wanted. Appreciate your help. Blessings, RLC
Melanie and momofmany, the hyphen and spacing problem should be fixed now, but please let us know if you have any other problems! Spacing errors caused by hyphens usually happen if there are two spaces after a hyphen. If anyone runs into this again, you can edit the verse (click on the pencil next to the verse), remove the extra space, and save the change. Blessings!
Hi @RLC! To change translations, first you'll need to delete the ESV collection that you selected. To do this, go to the scripture typer home page (home link at top left) and then you'll see the collection on the Right Panel under The Romans Project Group. Click the tiny x icon that appears when you move your mouse over the collection name. Then come back to this group page and re-select the collection, choosing the translation you want from the drop-down list. Please let me know if you have any trouble. Blessings -Brett
Hi @Carla! There was a bug in the system that put the text from subsequent verses in with verses 1-2. You'll need to edit the verse (tiny pencil icon to right of verse reference) and delete the extra text beyond verse 2. Sorry for the trouble. Blessings -Brett

Thanks, NanJ. Appreciate your help. Now, I need to know how to change my version selection for the Roman's Project. I mistakenly picked ESV and want NIV and just can't figure out how to change it. Thanks, RLC
Also, I am trying to learn verses 13-14 and they are not in the list anymore. I see 11-12 and 15-16, but not 13-14.

Is anyone else having trouble typing in the current verses (1:11-12)? I get verse 11 in with no trouble, but after I hit that hyphen after "strong" the words don't line up. They still show up as correct, but it looks as if I'm missing a word when I finish.
Here's a wonderful web site that I use every day and I highly recommend it. It is what I used to discover what translation Ann was using for The Romans Project. :)
http://www.biblegateway.com/
I discovered (the difficult way) that Ann Voskamp's Bible memory cards are from the New International Version, not to be confused with the New International Version of 1984! Hope that helps, RLC.
I am trying to figure out what translation Ann Voskamp is using in her Romans Project. New to this website I just clicked into the ESV but that is not the version, and I am unclear how to change to another version. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Carlab, in answer to your prayer request, if you go into preferences and under punctuation check 'Keep going if I miss it' it should really help you. That way you can just skip all the punctuation and don't have to worry about capitals at all. After all if you're saying a verse to yourself or anyone else they're not going to check punctuation so I don't think it's really necessary anyway ;)
Also with the speed, if you type a bit more slowly when you do the 'type' option it will lower your average words per minute and then it won't require such a high speed for you to pass it as memorised.

Hello sisters,
isn’t the verse of this week from the Roman Project wonderful, so exactly pointing want we’re doing: “First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.”
Thank you Jesus that we can says thanks through you
Thank Ann for challenging me into this project
Thank you all because we share this faith in Jesus
Question:Is there anywhere I can see the verse we are supposed to be on at any given time, as per Ann's schedule?
Complimentary resources...I lOVE Michael Pearl's teaching on Romans. It's available as a free audio download from his site www.nogreaterjoy.org or as a book. It's really long, though, and I'm not an auditory learner so listening is hard for me...but I just listen to a piece at a time as I memorize :) Here's the link: http://nogreaterjoy.org/audio/romans-audio/
I have also listened to Dr. Vernon McGee and am glad to see someone else has already recommended him. On another note, I'm having trouble with the "Group Versus Current" too. I clicked on it when I had "mastered" the first two (1-2 and 3-4) so it groups those together. But now "Group Versus Current" doesn't appear at all so I can't include vs 5-6. Thanks for any help you can give.

I have a Life Application Bible and was studying the verses I have memorized, reading the notes that go along with it.
I also thought I should listen to Dr. McGee (ttb.org) as he goes through Romans. I love Dr. McGee.
This program has really helped me. I normally struggle at memorizing, but this has really encouraged me. I have my verses at my place at the table and also taped to the bathroom mirror- constant reminders.

TO ADMIN: I think there is a glitch with the "Group Verses Current" count. When I choose to review all verses together it changes my verse for Romans 1:1-2 to Romans 1:1-20 and then ups my current count to 38 when it really should be only 20.
Stacey: in a much earlier message here, Penney answered your question with the following:
To add Romans in your preferred version: Remove Romans from your verse list if you have already added it. Go to preferences (hover over "Scripture Memory" at the top to see preferences). Choose your preferred version and also check the box beneath it so all verses are chosen in this version. Save preference at the bottom of the page. Come back and choose the verse list and it will auto translate to your version for you. Hope this helps.

I started a couple of weeks ago and have just memorised 4 verses. I have discovered a commentary by Douglas J Moo on Romans. A terrific book to read as I progress through the scriptures.
And as per Raising Ebenezer's request for sharing more complimenting resources to our memory work, I'd like to share about the sermons by
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Here is a brief description I lifted off another web page about him:
The Welsh evangelical preacher Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones was pastor of London's influential Westminster Chapel from 1938 to 1968. Perhaps his greatest achievement was his series of Friday evening Bible studies on the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans, a series which took him some 14 years to preach and which he felt was so important that he began to publish it in printed form from 1970 onwards.
Over 1600 of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones sermons can be downloaded and heard for free at the
MLJ Trust website.
366 of his sermons from the Book of Romans are located here: Romans Sermons

I've enjoyed reading some commentaries & listening to resources pertaining to the passages we're memorizing. This sermon from John Piper was such an encouragement: http://www.desiringgod.org/resource-library/sermons/by-his-grace-for-his-name-through-the-obedience-of-faith talking about Romans 1:1-5. Such an amazing grace we've received for our callings (motherhood, singleness, nursery worker etc.)! Thought I'd pass it along. Anyone else have any good complimenting resources for these passages?
WPM is only calculated when typing verses on the website in "Type It" mode and with your Typing Settings set to "Type Everything". Don't worry too much about this, it's just there because we have some Typing Classes using our system and the students are trying to improve their typing speed.
