About this ebook

Do you ever wish you knew just where to turn in the Bible for reassurance that God cares about you and that he is involved in your life? Do you ever wonder how to comfort a grieving friend or how to encourage your children and spouse? The Bible is filled with God's promises to his people-promises that overflow from God's goodness and power. These promises help us know that God cares deeply for us. They offer us hope and guidance as we read them ourselves or pass them along to others.

This book is a collection of God's promises taken from the Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV). The ESV is noted for its beauty and is ideal for memorization. Because these promises were carefully organized by topics that touch our everyday lives, this book is easy to navigate and is perfect for anyone who wants to know God and His Word better.
