Searching the Word

Engaging Scripture Through Discovery and Reflection

Overview

The Searching the Word and Searching Through… series combine the joy of word‑search puzzles with deep engagement in Scripture. Each page presents the full text of God’s Word—not excerpts or summaries—so readers dwell in every verse as they explore.

There are no word banks, and nothing is hidden except what the Scripture itself reveals. Each puzzle follows the passage verse by verse, reinforcing comprehension and Scripture memory through a meditative rhythm of reading, searching, and reflecting.

Whether used for personal devotion, small‑group study, or family learning, the Searching series helps readers slow down, encounter each phrase intentionally, and let the Word dwell richly within. It’s one more way we help believers Engage Scripture Differently.

How It Works

  • Each puzzle corresponds directly to a complete Scripture passage.

  • The full KJV text appears on the page—readable and complete.

  • Readers locate each word of the passage within the grid, reinforcing recognition and recall.

  • No word lists or hints—Scripture itself guides every search.

As eyes move between the passage and the puzzle, readers engage in attentive repetition—an active, memorable form of meditation.

Designed for Meaningful Engagement

  • Faithful to the full King James Version text

  • Thoughtfully sequenced puzzles that follow Scripture order

  • Readable type, clear grids, and devotional page layout

  • Appropriate for individuals, families, classrooms, and small groups

This design makes the Searching... series contemplative but approachable tools for Scripture study and delight.

Distinctives

  • No Word Banks: every word must be found directly in the verse text.

  • Full Scripture on Every Page: the Bible, complete and visible, remains central.

  • Sequential Structure: puzzles progress through chapters in order.

  • Purposeful Experience: combines reflection, literacy, and memorization.

Two Companion Series — One Purpose

The Searching the Word and Searching Through … series share the same Scripture‑first foundation—complete text on every page, no word banks, and verse‑by‑verse fidelity to the biblical record. Their differences center on scope and format, giving readers a choice of study depth and size.

  • Searching the Word (STW)
    • Comprehensive 34‑volume series spanning most or all of each book of Scripture.
    • Large 8.5 × 11‑inch trim — ideal for desks, classrooms, and extended study.
    • Continuous chapter‑by‑chapter flow for full‑text reading and devotion.

  • Searching Through (STH)
    • Compact 6 × 9‑inch format — lightweight, portable, and travel‑friendly.
    • Divides longer biblical books into smaller, easy‑to‑complete editions.
    • Perfect for daily devotionals or flexible study moments on the go.

Together, these companion collections invite readers to explore Scripture in the way that best fits their lives—whether immersing deeply through Searching the Word or reflecting in smaller portions through Searching Through ….

For Family and Faith Formation

Homeschool families, Sunday‑school teachers, and devotional readers alike use the Searching... series to nurture familiarity and love for Scripture. It suits all ages and can supplement Bible curriculum or stand alone as reflective quiet‑time practice.
