Diagramming the Scriptures Paperback – June 10, 2010

This is a comprehensive treatment of how to diagram a verse. It is the most inclusive tool. I have found on diagramming in general. Diagramming sentence sentences is nearly a lost art, which is sad because it is such a powerful tool to understand how words relate to each other. God’s use of language to impart wisdom includes specific choices of words and grammar. The ability to do this helps me understand complicated verses.

This is a wonderful little book that breaks down grammar from simple sentences and constructions to very complex ones. It does so using Bible passages, which makes the endeavor even more worthwhile. For young students, having grammar examples that are so familiar—and that are real sentences from the Word—makes the work fun and engaging. Forsen employs real skill in describing abstract grammatical concepts in a digestible way.

Fabulous tool to teach diagramming and scripture simultaneously!

After showing my children several Grammar Rock videos on YouTube, I was looking for a systematic approach to grammar that (1) wouldn't over-complicate (2) could be completed in a short period of time and (3) would give a good foundation of grammatical terms (nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, gerunds, etc.) so that when my 9-year-old son and I start working on Kilgallon's Sentence Composing for Elementary School we'll have vocabulary available to talk about our writing. This book filled the bill. Plus I liked the idea of diagramming sentences from the Bible.Depending on age and maturity, a student could study the book independently or with a partner, but it was better for us to work through the book together. One difficulty some students may have is that the scriptures are from the KJV so some of the language is archaic, but if someone is available to explain unfamiliar words this isn't a problem.As an aside, I'll never forget the big smile on my son's face when he correctly diagrammed a sentence that I had done wrong.All in all, highly recommended.

Let's have a diagram a sentence party! This book does a great job of starting from the beginning, the parts of speech and going into quite complicated sentence diagramming. I still have a lot to learn, but it's simply for fun! I'm 56 years old and bought the book. Yes, just for the fun of it.

I have read many books on grammar, but I have to say that Diagramming the Scriptures is the best grammar book on the market. Mrs. Forsen presents difficult material in a concise and understandable manner. She reiterates concepts, where necessary, to make sure the student understands the current lesson before moving on to the next. I highly recommend this book to parents who have difficulty helping their children with English and grammar homework, teachers who are looking for a simplified way to explain the difficulties of grammar, Christian schools as part of their curriculum, and Bible readers who are interested in a deeper knowledge of the Scriptures. This book works well for people who are doing an inductive Bible study (which is what I am using it for). Thank you Mrs. Forsen! If I had you as a teacher when I was in school, I would have loved English and grammar. I will use this book in my tutoring ministry. Job well done!

I love the large size of the heavy-duty paperback book. The large print is a plus. The way this book is written was helpful for me to recall what I had learned years ago from composition class. I believe in diagramming Scripture will aid me in studying and teaching Scripture. I was thinking about Paul's epistles: sentences as long as a paragraph.

This product is perfect for those who are learning how to diagram. It has helped me with this process as I was not taught this skill in formal schooling. It aids in the understanding of Scripture by helping the reader identify the grammatical elements of Scripture.
