Endorsements: "Rob Morgan never disappoints me. His books do what a good book should do: make you think about life from a new and fresh perspective. The Promise is a brand new treatment of an old and enduring verse. After you have finished reading it, put it where you can find it. If you don't need it, someone you love will!" -David Jeremiah, author of Signs of Life: Back to the Basics of Authentic Christianity "For years Robert Morgan has inspired me with his pastoral insights and heartfelt storytelling. In The Promise , he celebrates the mystery and power of one of the Bible's most poignant verses. Thoughtful, inspiring, and comforting, this book will help Christians find hope and encouragement as they live out their part in God's glorious story." -- Steven James , storyteller and award-winning author of Story: Recapture the Mystery "In The Promise Rob Morgan has put walking shoes on Romans 8:28. He has then walked it through life situations making application along the journey. With laser point accuracy he has focused our attention where it should be - on 'God' who works all things together for our good rather than on "things" that we too often dwell upon." -- Jim Mullen , managing director, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

Master at Application

Rob is one of the most wonderful speakers and you need to hear him in person. But, if you can't, pick up "The Promise", get in a nice quiet place and be ready to have God work his love in your life. Based on one of the most blessed promises for the Christian in the Bible, Rob takes you through the richness and blessednesses of how God works in your life to bring good out of the bad. Now, you might see your glass half empty, but then you will see it flowing over. God works in mysterious ways. He will guide you through the trials of life so that you can be a blessing as you encourage others as they pass through some of the valleys of life. Go ahead, get the book, and I dare you to try to not be blessed and encouraged. God is good. (so is this book).

Romans 8

Every book written by Robert J. Morgan is a comfort. This one was inspired by the New Testament, Romans, chapter 8. The promise therein is that almighty God can work all things in your life together for good. How this can be accomplished is discussed in 210 pages of amazing insights from the author, supported by various translations of verse 28 in the 8th. chapter of Romans, and life changing stories from people who, like all of us, have faced difficult circumstances. Rob Morgan also succeeds in bringing Bible stories to life in a unique way. I happily recommend this book of hope, optimism, comfort and joy. It is a book like no other and explains how to trust God to lead us thru the rough times in our life in an intelligent and thoughtful manner.
