… a very useful work which is not a conventional defence of the complete trustworthiness of God’s Words encapsulated in Scripture, but more of a series of applications for believers. The book rests on the foundation that God’s word is true, and is to be trusted, and that faith is intellectual, emotional and volitional.

… helps to strengthen our wavering faith by showing us how and why God’s words are absolutely trustworthy. The author then shows how a clear understanding of God’s trustworthiness affects our everyday lives.

… he meticulously shows from Scripture itself that God is true to his word, and that great blessings and comfort come to those who trust him. Deeply biblical and thoroughly pastoral, this book is a must–read for every Christian.

Layton Talbert demonstrates from God’s own words that God is passionate about vindicating the complete integrity and trustworthiness of his words. All of God’s words are reliable. God always keeps his words.

Andy Naselli
Associate Professor of New Testament and Systematic Theology, Bethlehem College and Seminary, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hermeneutically nuanced. Theologically sound. Pastorally sensitive. Layton Talbert offers both the church and the academy a valuable service here. I heartily recommend it to God’s people as an antidote to unbelief in God’s Word.

A. Philip Brown II
Professor of Bible and Theology, Graduate Program Director, God’s Bible School and College (Cincinnati, Ohio)

Written in a very accessible style with helpful practical applications, this book (which includes an outstanding summary of the Kingdom of God on earth for worldview context), ought to be in the library of every Christian and re–read at least annually.

Craig Hartman
Director of Shalom Ministries Author of Through Jewish Eyes

Layton Talbert explains clearly, and in an engaging way, that if we do believe what God says, we bring glory to Him; and we enjoy the confidence in his sovereignty that enables us to ‘laugh at the days to come’ (Proverbs 31:25).

Social Policy Analyst, The Christian Institute

… does not merely list the usual prooftexts (though there’d be nothing wrong with that!) and draw out their implications; no, he demonstrates in concrete text after text within Scripture that God’s words are trustworthy. Talbert not only trusts God’s words, he models that truth by rooting it in careful examination of those words.

Mark Ward
Editor of Faithlife’s Bible Study Magazine Author of Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible

What Layton writes is intended for you to firmly plant your faith on the solid, immoveable rock of God’s Word. Amen!

Steve Pettit
President of Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina

This helpful study shows that the very integrity of God is at stake in the veracity of His words. They are true because he is true. There is great comfort in the truthfulness of God’s words!
