About Me

Hello, my name is Jonathan Hostetler. I'm the webmaster and author of this website, How-to-Experience-the-Bible.com.

I grew up in a strong Christian family. So my exposure to the Bible is extensive. From as early as I can remember, my parents taught me to read God's Word and pray every morning. Then, when I made the decision to follow Jesus (at age 9), I was prepared to grow spiritually.

In my later-elementary years, I thoroughly enjoyed memorizing verses that I would recite at my church. My church's children's program had an incentive system, which allowed us kids to memorize and recite Bible verses, and receive one point for every verse successfully recited. Then, once a month, we could redeem those points for prizes.

I always had so much fun memorizing Bible verses, even though I didn't have to. After a "graduated" from the kid's program, I didn't memorize the Bible as often. Then, about the time I started high school, my passion for Bible memory came back, and I self-taught myself how to memorize chapters of the Bible. I explain how to do that in my Bible Memory Guide.

In middle school, I became interested in computers, and I spent a lot of time learning the basics of computer hardware and software. I still enjoy using computers, and that's where I spend a lot of my time.

My goal for this website is to encourage and inspire disciples of Jesus to "get into the Word" more, and to actually enjoy it. Because, if we claim to follow Jesus and his teachings, then we need to know those teachings that we claim to follow.

If you have any ideas for content, or if you just want to share how much you enjoy experiencing the Bible, Contact Me. I would love to hear from you.

In Jesus,

Jonathan L. Hostetler
