The secret is that you do not read it once and expect to retain it.

Treat it like food. Eat bite sizes and go back and eat those bites sizes again and again....whether on your own or in a bible study group, for example. This takes time and that is OK.

Just keep consuming. More and more, you will retain because repetition is the mother of learning.

We need to be reminded more than we need to be taught. This is a constant theme in the Word of God.

Try learn one verse by heart. I can recommend a calendar with a daily Verse out of the Old and the New Testament.
