The author shares five promises that he feels all people must understand and remember:
(1) God is ALWAYS with ME. I will not fear.
(2) God is ALWAYS in CONTROL. I will not doubt.
(3) God is ALWAYS GOOD. I will not despair.
(4) God is ALWAYS WATCHING. I will not falter.
(5) God is ALWAYS VICTORIOUS. I will not fail.
MacDonald does a wonderful job taking these five statements and supporting them with both Scripture and experiences. The book is very practical and allows the reader to take what is important with them by helping them make the promises their own.
I recommend this book for individual or small group Bible study.All people who are trying to become closer to God will definitely take much from this book!
