    I Will Be with You: God's Favorite Promise

    About this ebook

    God’s promise of being with us should not be viewed as one pledge of many. Rather, it should be recognized as His favorite promise.
    In fact, God explicitly makes the promise to several individuals throughout the Bible—and Scripture reveals many examples of God being with an individual or demonstrating His presence.
    Referring to the promise as “a gem that has stayed hidden in plain sight,” the author of this book calls on readers to claim the promise for themselves. He notes that when God promises, “I will be with you,” he means everyone, including the person you see when you look in the mirror.
    The book begins with Jacob, who exemplifies those facing the unknown, which he faced when he left the land of Canaan for the city of Haran in the region of Padan-Aram. Additional chapters highlight how God’s favorite promise played a role in the lives of Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Jeremiah, and many others.
    The author also explores how someone who is aware of God’s constant presence should relate to Him. This awareness should flow through an individual’s life, resulting in a desire to live for God in every way.
