I confess that when I agreed to review two books for "The Value Gifts" book tour, I was hoping one of the books in the "99" series would be 99 Ways to Stretch Your Home Budget or 99 Ways to Entertain Your Family for Free since I don't consider myself a financially creative fellow... though my brothers and sisters could describe many creative ways in which I "saved" money in the past "creatively." Alas, I received the book 99 Bible Promises for Tough Times by Randy Petersen. I would consider myself fairly aware on this topic having taught various Bible courses at the college level for ten years as well as having taught portions of the Bible in other contexts.
The book is nicely broken up into seven sections dealing with various types of tough times. A "devotional thought" from the specific Scripture passage is given. Although not overly deep, the author does a good job of connecting the Scripture passage to the Biblical promise and does so in a way that is neither "proof-texting" or weak theology. Graphically, the book is nicely laid out also. Nothing spectacular about the book, but solid in content.
This book was provided for review by WaterBrook Multnomah publishers.
