First sentence: Jesus is your Savior.

Are Bible Promise books still a thing? Maybe. Maybe not. At one point Bible Promise books where everywhere. I picked up this bonded leather edition for a quarter.

The premise is simple enough. These are selected verses chosen by someone [or a team of someones] to provide insight, guidance, comfort, support for a large variety of potential situations or circumstances. I would say the first two sections, "Jesus Is Your...." and "The Bible is Your...." would be good for "preaching the gospel to yourself daily." I can't remember which christian nonfiction book I read that mentioned the importance of spending time in the gospel ABC's daily, of preaching to yourself daily, but I think these two sections provide a solid foundation. Not in place of Scripture. Repeat after me, not in place of Scripture. These are verses, specifically specially chosen verses that are presented out of context [without context.] The final section, "God's Plan of Salvation," would also fit right into a daily routine. [Though I'm not suggesting to do so in a superstitious way].

The remaining sections are more geared to providing situational guidance or support. Yes, some of these could be part of a daily 'preaching' but not all of them--probably. There might be sections that aren't quite for you--at least not yet, perhaps never.

The book can be read cover to cover. That's how I read it, but it wouldn't need to be. In fact, it probably was not designed to be.

Who is it for? Well, this one is in the King James Version. So I would say someone who is well-versed in the Bible. But putting aside the whole readability issue (or nonissue). I would say it is still for someone who has a grasp of the big picture of the Bible. I would say it probably wouldn't be best for someone who is completely new to Scripture and doesn't see how everything fits together. I think reading verses out of context when you have never had context would be problematic perhaps. It would be a good fit for those who long for Scripture but for whatever reason--perhaps many reasons out of their control--they don't have the ability to sit down and read the Bible itself. At least not in that moment. Its small size makes it great for being "on the go." Its small size also makes it great for reading in bed. The font size is large enough for reading to be easy.

It doesn't have a foreword or an introduction. There's no helps to indicate how to use or not use this one. There are sections about health and prosperity. But no narrator pushing an agenda. These are just verses without context. So you can't read them and argue that the book is pushing the health and prosperity [false] gospel. You also don't have a narrator warning against certain interpretations. The Bible verses [yes, without context] are left to speak on their own. How you in the moment interpret those verses or any verses may depend on your past experiences and past exposures to teaching and preaching.

One could make the argument that taking verses out of context is never a good idea. I'm not sure I'm willing to take that hard a stance. I'm just not. Could this book be misused? Yes. Could the Bible be misused? Yes. People can take ANY Bible and lift verses out of context.

I did like most of the topics/subjects covered. I also liked the repetition. There are verses that pop up dozens of times--under dozens of subjects. I didn't mind the repetition. In fact, I think it helps. ( )
