Editorial Reviews

Review

Peterson is right on target...In this small volume, he has taken everyday issues and produced a pocket pal of sorts. A little black, er, white book for those quick-draw moments when you need the Bible's wisdom-fast. Whether you're walking the streets of Laredo where bullets are flying or just by the water cooler where your co-workers are throwing darts behind your back, pack this one in your pocket or purse-because if it's wisdom you need, it's in there. -- Christian Single, December 1997

From the Back Cover

STRESS. MONEY. WORK. SELF-IMAGE. RELATIONSHIPS. These are issues we deal with in our day-to-day lives. And we’re bombarded with messages about how to respond to them. But what does God have to say about how we should face these challenges? The Message Promise Book arranges verses by topic, making it easy to discover the Bible’s wisdom about a wide range of issues. The Message Promise Book will help you see your situation from God’s perspective, expressed in everyday language that you can easily understand and apply to your life.

This review is from: The Message Promise Book (Paperback)
I have two of these: one at home and one at work. When ever I feel an emotion and need some soothing I go to this book. Look up the topic and read the scripture. Alot of times I will randomly just open the book and read what pops up. Great help in time of need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Relevent Promises of God, July 3, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Message Promise Book (Paperback)
The Message Promise Book is a collection of God's promises given to Christians taken from the Message. (The Message is a recent translation of the Bible into today's language.) The promises were organized into topics so you could find what you needed to hear quickly. I found this selection of God's promises to be wonderfully encouraging and easy to understand. I bought one for myself and later bought another copy which made a great gift.
