In his latest book, Believing God: 12
Biblical Promises Christians Struggle
to Accept, Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr.
challenges Christians to take a second
glance at the promises of God in the
Bible in order to see anew the grandeur
of what God has committed Himself to do
for His people. Sproul explores twelve
of the most significant promises in
Scripture, methodically unpacking each
divine pledge. He shows that while
Christians may express trust in God’s
words, they refuse, in numerous ways,
to stake their lives on what He says.
Sproul goes on to present the clear
biblical meaning of each promise and
strives to help his readers grasp the
sheer wonder and glory of it. Biblical
passages on which Sproul focuses
include God’s promises to forgive the
sins of those who confess their
transgressions to Him (1 John 1:9); to
give wisdom to those who ask it of Him
(James 1:5); and to give His people the
desires of their hearts (Ps. 37:4). In
the final analysis, the book functions
as a mirror in which every reader with
a teachable heart will see how he or
she can more fully believe God. All
Christians who appreciate careful
biblical teaching and heartfelt passion
for God will appreciate and benefit
from this book.
