A handshake and someone's word isn't good enough anymore. Maybe it never was. We're told it doesn't mean much unless you "put it in writing." Guess a promise isn't what it used to be. Or is it? God didn't need to put His promises in writing--His are always true. But fortunately for us He did anyway. And He did it so we can always read study and keep them close at hand. God's promises aren't cheap and they aren't empty. With this book students will see how these life-giving promises can change the way they live their lives. (Scriptures are taken from The Message by Eugene Peterson.)
