Searching the Word

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.

  • Large 8.5 × 11‑inch trim — ideal for desks, classrooms, and extended study.
