Why this series exists
Most people have heard that the Bible is full of promises. Far fewer have ever seen them all laid out where they were spoken, in order, with someone taking the time to explain each one. Every Promise of God was written to fill that gap.
Promise collections are useful, and some readers keep one by the bed. But a collection can only hold a selection. Verses get pulled out of their setting, and it can be hard to tell whether a promise was spoken to you, to Israel, or to one person on one day thousands of years ago. This series goes the other way. It starts at Genesis 1 and keeps reading, and it does not leave any of God's promises out because they are hard, quiet or easy to skip.
The goal is simple: that you would know what God has actually said, and that you would know how to pray it.
How the books work
Each time God speaks a promise, the book gives it a page. If God says it again to someone new, that is a new page, because it was a new moment. A vow between two people is left out of the count, and so is a warning of coming judgment.
- The verseThe promise, quoted in the King James Version.
- Made toThe person or people God was speaking to.
- The conditionWhat God asked for, if anything. If nothing, it says so.
- What it meant thenThe promise in its own time and place.
- What it means for youHow it reaches your life today, and plainly when it does not apply directly.
- Stand on itA short prayer to say out loud.
The books keep the order of the Bible and keep counting from one book to the next. Book One holds Promises 1 through 295. Book Two holds 296 through 620. Book Three, with 621 through 904, is coming next, and later books will carry on through the rest of the Bible.
About Maurice Johnson
Maurice Johnson is an author and publisher from East Texas. He publishes the Every Promise of God series as Dominion Publishing. He is also a recording artist.
He wrote these books for anyone who wants to know what God has truly promised, from teenagers on up. That is why the writing stays plain, at about a seventh grade reading level, and why each page ends with a short prayer you can say out loud.
We keep this page short on purpose. The books are not about the author. They are about the promises, and the One who made them.
What you can count on from these books
Checked Scripture
Every verse is in the King James Version. On this website, each verse is drawn from two separate copies of the King James text and shown only if they agree.
Honest reading
When a promise was spoken to one person, the book says so. It shows what that promise still teaches about God without pretending it was written to you.
Plain words
Short sentences and everyday words. Each verse is explained in plain words, so a young reader is not left behind.
