It Is Written!

Oftentimes, when life gets rough, I need God's Word to keep me going. I know the best place to turn to is the Bible but I am clueless where to look.
Remember bloggy pally Sandra Kovacs Stein, author of Sincerely Wrong: An Improbable Journey? She has blessed me with an invaluable resource. Her new book It Is Written! helps point me to passages I don't know when I need them most.


In her preface to "It Is Written!", Sandra writes, "When I first discovered that my Bible was alive with promises and that it contained a roadmap, so to speak, of the path to follow and pitfalls to avoid if I wanted to experience the very best God had for me, I did something I never thought I would ever do to a book, I wrote in it. I underlined verses, put hearts and asterisks beside promises, and added little TPs (tried and proven) next to the ones I saw manifest in my life."

"My memory, however, does not always serve me well - especially when challenging circumstances test my faith. To help me through these difficult times, I started copying Scriptures into a little tabbed notebook, grouping them according to my various concerns. Now, when fear or depression threaten to overwhelm me, I can't think straight, or my mind goes suddenly blank, the tabbed sections make it easy to find what God's Word has to say about an issue, and I am reminded of what is truth and what isn't."

"This book is an expanded version of my little notebook. I encourage you to personalize it by filling the blank sheets and verses and categories of your own. May it bless and encourage you, and help you live a life of victory in Jesus, instead of as a victim of your circumstances."

Thanks, Sandra!

  1. Cute cookies :)

    What a great book! I love the idea of blank pages in it to personalize the book with added verses one might find comforting! I write mine on index cards, have stacks of them all around, LOL :) This could be a great way to organize them :)

    Thanks for sharing the information about it!

  3. Sounds like a really helpful book. I look for Scriptures on topics and then write them on notes and put in my daughter's lunch. I'm here from the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop.

  9. So nice to have that resource! I have been finding that if I just keep reading and learning, the scriptures come back at me later when I do need them. That makes me glad to know them. :)

    I have so much more to learn!

    Love your bunnies. Those are great. :)

  13. God's promises are money in the bank! Truth to anchor to in any storm. The plumb line to measure what life throws at us. Happy to read that you are treasuring these nuggets of gold.
