4.0 out of 5 stars God's Words are Powerful Tools of Change, May 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Promises for You from the New International Version (Mass Market Paperback)

Although I do not consider myself a "true" Christian in that sense, reading this book filled me at once with thankfulness, inspiration, and fulfillment of God. Various biblical quotes are conveniently categorized for you, from subjects such as Faith to Forgiveness. Each heading has at least a page of quotes to bring you closer to God's meaning and intentions for those subjects. At such a modest price, I suggest you keep one book tucked away for personal guidance and buy another one for a friend who needs spiritual lifting.

This review is from: Promises for You from the New International Version (Hardcover)

I received this book as a gift a few years ago and I absolutely love it. It's like a giant index of all yor favorite bible verses. Inside the front lists many different categories such as, god's love, salvation, forgiveness, courage, etc. and the page number next to it. I use it during my quiet times, I'll pick a category I'm struggling with our want to know more about and it gives me at least two pages of great verses.. I can either stick with those or expand my looking up the verses before and after in my bible. It's a great pocket size for fitting in my purse. The pages are great quality and lined nice to match your journal or bible. I love using it for writing encouraging notes or helping a friend by looking up a struggle shes going through or a topic for conversation and thought. I've given this as a gift many times and it's been highly complimented. It's small, inexpensive, yet so useful.. great for a gift or just for furthering your scriptural knowledge and relationship with God! Totally recommend!
