FOREWORD
We live in an age when countless voices shout conflicting messages about what’s true. But human speculation and worldly wisdom hold no real security for a woman looking for truth upon which to build her life.
God’s Word gives us truth we can trust. The promises we find there come from the One who made us to be his daughters and loved us enough to send his Son to die for our sins. The Bible provides trustworthy guidance and sure hope for every woman who seeks to live a redeemed life of beauty and holiness.
The Bible’s Promises for Women consists entirely of selections from Scripture, arranged by topic, to help you build a spiritual foundation for your life. These passages are all taken from the Holy Bible: English Standard Version, a translation of the Bible known for its word-for-word accuracy, clarity, beauty, and readability.
Our prayer is that the truth found in these verses will encourage you and lead you to draw close to your Heavenly Father through his Son, Jesus.
