What people have said:

"By the way....the John 3:16 solitaire is so amazing....I already knew the verse but by doing the solitaire...it is burning it into my heart....this is a wonderful tool for Scripture Memorization.  The Word of God is alive....and you know what......by getting the verse in pieces and not being able to complete each sequence I am able to see the verse more clearly and the solitaire  becomes a mini Bible Study.    And another thing ......this can be a witnessing tool to use with your unsaved friends who enjoy solitaire.  The Word of God and the Holy Spirit does the work!!!!   God bless all of you who produce this Spirit inspired product!!!"

"I’d just as soon use a fun tool like "SS" to do my study as anything else I’ve come across yet!"
