PRAYING THE PROMISES is a beautifully done hardcover giftbook style of devotional. It contains a page of thoughts about a Bible hero that obeyed and believed the promises of God, a page of Bible verses about that particular promise, a prayer, and an application for the reader to try to put into practice.

As a devotional, it is not really meaty, but it is more filling than some of the five minutes with God varieties of devotions. It does have food for thought, and if you want more you can get out a concordance or other theological books and do a study on the subject.

This would make a nice gift for any one who loves devotionals, someone who's struggling with the promises of God and wants to learn how to pray them, and for church libraries for people to check out. It might even be a good gift for a pastor as a jumping off point for a series of messages about God's promises.

I recommend this book as a good devotional.
