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

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome book if you are in pain!!!, October 20, 2001

By	areldthomp "areldthomp" (Fayetteville, Nc United States) - See all my reviews

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

By	J. Visser - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
