Promises to Live by

My husband had been given this book many years ago and he'd just passed it down to our daughter. We just bought him this one for a Father's Day gift. It's a great little book to gather encouragement from.

I keep a copy of this little book in my purse to use to help people with questions and to encourage them with the promises God makes to those who love Him. Jesus has the answers to life's questions and comfort for times of sorrow. I challenge the women I mentor to meditate on God's promises and memorize the verses, this book makes it easy to do a topical study on a particular area such as "Are finances always a worry?" I highly recommend this book.

When I had had a nervous breakdown in grad school in 1986, and I was just coming back to Christ and did not know the Bible well, my mom had bought this book for me as well as Christopher Parkenings classic guitar casette SIMPLE GIFTS. I had found comfort in both of them. I get a almost all my spiritual experiences outside of church in personalk study and meditation. I even got on David Wilkerson's mailing list for his newsletter. This caused to to also see how God is judging America for its sins by its economic ruin.

God's Word is more powerful than any other. David Wilkerson has searched the Word and compiled in this little book (The Jesus Person Pocket Promise Book) 800 of God's promises to those who believe. They are categorized to speak to us in our specific situations, giving us hope and the knowledge of God's abundant grace. Reading God's promises, one after another, strengthens my faith and lifts my soul to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I have had a battered copy of this book in paperback for over 15 years and was very pleased to find it not only still available, but also in hard copy. It has been more helpful than David Wilkerson could ever have known.
