Psalms 37:4 says, “He will give you the desires of your heart. Sounds good! And automatically our next thought is ‘what should I desire?’” Yes, such beautiful assurances can come only from our Lord God. He is waiting to fulfill the desires of our heart. Likewise, there are hundreds of more promises stated in the Bible that our dear Lord will grant us. If only we know how to claim them! Each promise comes with a condition. As you steer your way through these conditional promises, you will see the abundance of God’s Love and the bounty that awaits us in the kingdom of heaven. So do not tarry my friends for the harvest is ready.

Most grand adventures begin with an invitation. This book is one such invitation to an adventure that can change the entire course of your life. God is inviting you - to partner with Him. His astounding promises are preceded by a challenge for you to get in the middle of this supernatural transformation. '"The Conditional Promises of God" reminds us that the Word of God is alive, sharper than any two-edged sword. It will accomplish its purpose when it is activated in our lives. God's promises - and your obedience - is a combination that will shake the foundations of your destiny - and thrust you into the middle of God's everlasting story. I believe it has real value for an understanding of the Scriptures...I have not known anyone who has done a work quite like this.' Dr. Lewis A. Drummond, Billy Graham Professor of Evangelism and Church Growth, Samford University Beeson Divinity School 'In all of my many years in ministry, I have never seen or read a more insightful writing into the Word of God. You are immediately impressed that the author has done his homework.' Robert J. Norman, Pastor Emeritus, ClearView Baptist Church, Franklin, TN 'This work can be of great use to both scholars and students alike, to both preachers and congregants, to clergy and laymen, to church planters and to church builders, to missions and to missionaries, and to both young and old.' Dr. Amar B. Rambisoon, former Orlando and New York Metro District Supervisor, Foursquare Gospel Churches

Conditional reasoning is reasoning that involves statements of the sort If A (Antecedent) then C (Consequent). This type of reasoning is ubiquitous; everyone engages in it. Indeed, the ability to do so may be considered a defining human characteristic. Without this ability, human cognition would be greatly impoverished. "What-if" thinking could not occur. There would be no retrospective efforts to understand history by imagining how it could have taken a different course. Decisions that take possible contingencies into account could not be made; there could be no attempts to influence the future by selecting actions on the basis of their expected effects. Despite the commonness and importance of conditional reasoning and the considerable attention it has received from scholars, it remains the subject of much continuing debate. Unsettled questions, both normative and empirical, continue to be asked. What constitutes normative conditional reasoning? How do people engage in it? Does what people do match what would be expected of a rational agent with the abilities and limitations of human beings? If not, how does it deviate and how might people's ability to engage in it be improved? This book reviews the work of prominent psychologists and philosophers on conditional reasoning. It describes empirical research on how people deal with conditional arguments and on how conditional statements are used and interpreted in everyday communication. It examines philosophical and theoretical treatments of the mental processes that support conditional reasoning. Its extensive coverage of the subject makes it an ideal resource for students, teachers, and researchers with a focus on cognition across disciplines.

Comprising 16 original contributions, this is the first collection of philosophical papers on promises and agreements, topics which are enjoying a renaissance in social, moral and legal philosophy.

Many studies in cognitive psychology have provided evidence of systematic deviations in cognitive task performance relative to that dictated by optimality, rationality, or coherency. The texts in this volume present an account of research into the cognitive biases observed on various tasks: reasoning, categorization, evaluation, and probabilistic and confidence judgments. The authors have attempted to discern the contribution of the study of bias to our understanding of the cognitive processes involved in each case, rather than proposing an inventory of the different types of biases. A special section has been devoted to studies on the correction of biases and cognitive aids.
