To be fair, this is an excellent compendium of all the promises of the bible. However, it suffers from a somewhat encyclopedic approach, that is, it is chock-full of information but not eminently readable. As a reference book, it suffers from the lack of a useful index. That leaves the only other alternative, which is to endeavour to read it cover to cover. The latter is not such a ridiculous thought; after all, the promises of God are so exciting that they should be fully devoured. Unfortunately, again, Lockyear's presentation of the material makes this a difficult task. It is a pity, because I am sure there are many, many gems to be found. The accompanying commentary is also sometimes very insightful. Alas, after this, I am still searching for a book that classifies all the promises in the Bible - all 8,810 of them - in a simple manner!

Rarely do I find a book that disappoints like this one did. The interior pages are like newsprint - a cheaper quality paper than a traditional paperback, and the text is formatted into two columns per page, making the font size very small.

There seems to be no division on the promises, so it would be difficult to find anything easily. After spending a few hours with it, I'm frustrated and am now searching for another book to replace this one.

I have several of Dr. Lockyer's books...all very well researched and comprehensive. "All the Promises of God" outdoes them all! Although the Bible itself holds a promise in every verse, this book helps me to look for specific promises, the Who/What/When/Where/Why for application, in an easy-to-read format. Love it!

Purchased this book as a gift and the recipient was very pleased. It reviews all of God's promises and gives interpretations of each one. Would highly recommend to any student of the bible.

Our pastor was preaching on Promises and I bought this book and it has helped my easier Bible study.

The product is great but the service was lousy. You sent me the wrong product. I ordered All The Prayers of the BIBLE and you sent me All The Promises Of The BIBLE. That set me back a week.
