Scripture Study Tip: Page Titles
Feb 11, 2011
I try and write page titles on the top of every page in my scriptures.
Page titles are just that – a title that I wrote at the top that summarizes what that page teaches about.
These are helpful and useful in several ways:
1- I can find things really quickly
2- I pick up on themes and patterns more easily
3- It is a very interesting element to scripture study. I look at each page as a general theme and gain different insights.
* This would be a great activity to do as a family as you read scriptures together. Wouldn’t it be fun to read the Book of Mormon together and decide as a family what should be written at the top of each page?
* It would also be interesting to write your own titles as a family, and then compare what each person wrote – what is the same and what is different.
Here are some titles that I have provided in the past.
You wouldn’t believe how much this has helped me in my scripture study. Thanks!!!
LOVE, Love these!! Can’t wait to put them in my scriptures! Thank you so much…you amaze me!!
These are AWESOME ideas!!! I’m always looking for new scripture marking ideas! Thanks so much for sharing!!! =)
…By the way… LOVE your website!!! =)
I love your “how to mark your scriptures” posts, they help me study and understand what I’m reading. keep ‘em coming.
I am also now using your idea of the post-it notes, love that.
I just discovered your site from sugerdoodle, I’m gald I found it I love it. I visit it daily. Thank you for helping me to learn how to study the scriptures better.
Thank you so much for the website. I am YW President and feel like I should be much more diligent in studying the scriptures. It has always been hard for me. I went and bought a journal, the correct pens and am so excited to start reading. I will challenge my girls to do this with me. This simple thing you are doing…sharing with us is going to change lives. THANK YOU
thank you so much for all you do. i am one who really does appreciate the fact that you put a lot of hard work and time into the things you post online and i will always remember you for helping me better understand the scriptures. you have done so much for me, without even knowing it!
thank you. from the bottom of my heart.
THANK YOU! I am a fellow stake seminary teacher and some of your tools have been extremely useful. I thank you and bless you! Best of luck
Thank you for my favorite website ever. You have inspired me to fall in love with scripture study once again. I am so grateful. Thank you!
A friend at work told me about your site and I just want to say that I have never felt the scriptures more deeply than since I’ve been using your marking tips and insights. I appreciate your hard work and thank you for sharing what you know.
My friend was just telling me about this, and sent me over to your site. I love this idea! And I definitely need something to kick my scripture study up a notch. I think this’ll really help.
I love the Genesis title suggestions. This is my first year teaching seminary and although I have the study part down, I definitely need to fine tune my marking and journaling…for me, but more so- for teaching my students so they have a firm habit when they are my age. The title suggestions have been helpful because I have been somewhat overwhelmed by early morning seminary and I don’t waist time trying to DECIDE… it gives me the push I need. So if you have any other Old Testament titles to pass on…..THANK-YOU in advance!
I came across your website quite by accident, and….WOW!!! I have a hard time staying off it! I definitely plan to start utilizing all your helps and suggestions in my own scripture study….you have certainly brought a whole new meaning to studying the scriptures..Thanks for all your hard work!
Awesome!! Awesome awesome! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you again and again! You are an amazing woman!
I am so impressed with all the tips that you have shared and this has helped me soooo much. I started at the beginning of the year to reread the B of M. and this really helps me to understand it better. Thanks for your time and influencing all of us to do better. Just keep it coming! Thanks. You are just amazing. I wish I was more like you.
I’ve always been one to put notes in the margins, but the title idea is new to me. I can’t wait to put this into action. Thanks for the great idea!
Thanks so much
I now have the complete set for my scriptures and I am soooo looking forward to using these on a “new” set and learning and growing!!!! You are truly an answer to prayers!!!
thanks
I am 62 yrs old and after serving 4 yrs in YW am now teaching the Sunday School class for the 16-17yr olds. My daughter told me about your site. I am so impressed. I have been so nervous about this class as I don’t have the knowledge of the scriptures like these youth do. (we transfered 5yrs ago to Washington from Utah). I am continually amazed by the youth and women like you who are so willing to share your ideas and helps. Thank you so much as I really want to do all I can to help these kids to know how important the studying of the scriptures are. You have helped to make it a little more interesting. Thank you again for sharing your talents.
None of the Book of Mormon Page Titles seem to be downloading. Am I doing something wrong?
