The history of Divine dealings with human beings is replete with promises made and promises kept. In the composition of the Bible itself, we read promises declared and ultimately, faithfully fulfilled, sometimes centuries apart. The proofs are undeniable in scripture. Not one promise was left undone.

God's fulfilled promises and His eternal love are undeniable in contemporary human history, too. Many of these modern examples are recorded in the accounts in this book. My account is one of them. True stories related here are living and lasting testimonies to the indelible fact of the follow-through of God Almighty in the lives of real people, proven in space and time. God's reliability is not a theory, a wish, or an imagined dream. It's real, which is why it is deemed “reliable.”

The Bible is a book of redemption. The Promises of God are proclaimed with one purpose: to redeem human beings. Belief in that truth requires faith. Redemption is possible through God's grace alone. As you read each true account in this book, you will instantaneously recognize a definitive trend: God is gracious, faithful, and honors His commitments, each and every one, all the time. These stories are all about fulfillment of God's promises for our good. The God of the Bible is a personal God who declared clear and unmistakable promises, and fulfilled them, each and every one. Perhaps the greatest promise and fulfillment upon which the Christian faith rests, is Jesus Christ: His birth, life, teachings, crucifixion, and resurrection. That fulfilled story sets Biblical faith apart. It demands our attention and ultimately, our devotion.

In a day and time when so many world-driven promises are uttered and left uncompleted, it is eternally reassuring that all of the Promises of God can be counted on, because He Is Faithful. Trusting wholeheartedly in God's Promises is not a far-fetched and “hope-inspired” concept. It's a literal, down-to-earth, provable reality in a God who never wavers or fails. We can trust Him with every fiber of our beings.
