Always True: God’s 5 Promises When Life Is Hard

In his latest book, Always True: God's 5 Promises for When Life Is Hard, Pastor James MacDonald delivers the biblical hope of God’s promises. MacDonald shares how we relate to God is largely determined by what we do with His promises and that all that stands between you and what He has promised you is time. This book is about learning to live with today in the reality of what God has promised for our future. Even when it's hard to trust, God's promises remain the same. Nothing can change God's stated intent.

The hardest moment of hanging on, of course, is the gap between believing His promise and receiving the fulfillment of that promise. The Christian life would be easy if the time was short between when you first appeal to God’s promises and when you receive what He promised. If you could invoke God’s pledge one day and cash it in the next, wow—wouldn’t that be great!? Forget about fastfood promises—that’s not the way God works.

2 Peter 1:3 refers to certain portions of God’s Word as exceedingly great and precious promises. Great promises are ones that don’t fall apart during difficult times; they reveal hope in the midst of the storm. Precious promises are ones that we find strong enough to hold us up and resilient enough to get us through. God’s promises become exceedingly great and precious to us when nothing else will do. By way of digging into the theology of God’s promises, Pastor James uncovers five major categories of promise in the Bible and the five areas about which God repeatedly makes promises. From what to do with fear and doubt to God’s goodness, help, and victory—the Bible has much to say about God’s presence in our difficulty.

This book centers on the following truths:
