Bible-themed Crossword Puzzles Combined with Bible Study Increases Learning and Provides Fun

Online, August 30, 2012 (Newswire.com) - In a recent interview with Assist News Service Ron Rhodes, President of Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministries, quoted a recent poll, which indicated that 35% of born-again Christians do not read the Bible at all. In addition, Rhodes indicated that among those who say they read the Bible, the vast majority only read it during the one hour they attend church each week.

The goal of the Make Bible Study Fun program, developed by Chris Sealey, Christian author and speaker, is to increase Bible readership amongst Christians. The program uses Bible-themed crossword puzzles in conjunction with any Bible study program to increase retention of the subject material, while providing hours of fun and entertainment.

Each crossword puzzle is designed to help the individual learn more about characters, cultures, cities, occupations and much more from Bible times, while testing his or her understanding of core Christian principles, for example: faith and baptism, just to name a few. The Make Bible Study Program provides a variety of high quality crossword puzzles at a low-cost monthly subscription. Every subscriber has 24/7 access to these puzzles. New puzzles are added to the program every week, and can be solved on mobile devices (for example, iPad, NOOK, iPhone/Droid smart phones) or computer.

Educators described this approach to Bible study as the Puzzle-Based Learning approach. It allows the individual to learn by solving the clues related to the subject material around which the puzzle was designed. Because the brain remains stimulated throughout the experience, the result is increased retention of the subject material.
