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 life's 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.

"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
