Wonderful book for your prayer life. Sometimes we all need help and this book will give you that nudge you may need. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on my review.

Review of The Bible Promise Book: 500 Scriptures to Grow Your Prayer Life in paperback by Emily Biggers
Biggers has divided her book into fifty sections of ten verses per section. The section heading often comes in the form of a question such as, “When should you pray?”
However these questions are not answered in the traditional way. Biggers records a short prayer, her own conversation with God, which gives some thoughts on the question.
It is after the prayer that the ten verses are listed, each with its reference. The verses all pertain to the topic heading. All the verses are given in the King James Version of the Bible. If you are a KJV-only Christian this will suit you fine.
I know there are others who prefer more modern translations, which are not to be found here. For this reason I predict this book will have a limited audience.
What I would wish for – thinking futuristically – would be a book similar to this in an eBook format, in which you could select the version of the Bible you wish to read the scriptures, or read each scripture in several versions to get the nuanced meaning.
Nevertheless, it is important to note that these verses are nicely grouped by topic, and if you wish to access them in another version you may – just bring your own Bible. They are useful, as the title suggests, for growing your prayer life. There is power in praying the scriptures!
These groupings would also lend themselves to scripture memory or a topical Bible study.

I loved this book of scriptures. I very much enjoy journaling about the scripture and adding my personal experiences! Thank you!

A wonderful book that’s filled with prayers and scripture on a variety of topics. This is a book to keep nearby as both reference and encouragement during all seasons of life. This would also be a great gift to others who need comfort and guidance from God’s Word. Highly recommend this one.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

The Promise Book: 500 Scriptures to Grow Your Prayer Life
By Emily Biggers
The first 8 readings discuss the concept of what prayer is, is not, why you should pray, and how to pray. The remainder of the book is more topical prayers for the reader. Each days reading consists of a short prayer prompt, followed by 10 verses to support the topic. The verses are in KJV which isn’t my favorite to read. It is a nice book for those who are new or interested in prayer and looking for some scriptural ideas of what prayer looks like as well as where to find biblical reference to prayer.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion which I share here.

This book has a lot of different topics that deal with prayer that you can go to in your time of need. Under each topic is a prayer and bible verses that will will help you. This is a book you will refer to time and time again. Thank you Barbour Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. This is my honest opinion.
