Successful athletes know personal achievement is gained through hard work and self-discipline. God's Guarantee reminds Christian readers that those saved by grace through faith have a high and holy calling from God. We are called to "run with patience the race" and to keep "looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith" to bring our body and will under subjection to the Spirit of God.

Relying on Scripture, the inspired writings of Ellen G. White, and M. L. Andreasen's The Book of Hebrews, author Courtney Jackson encourages readers to aim high by God's grace and fulfill God's plan for His last-day people. Topics covered are the old and new covenants, God's plan for Israel, security for the believer, vindication of God's character, and victory in the Christian life. Emphasis is given to the use of the commands and promises from Scripture in prayer to achieve and fulfill God's will on earth.

"This book is a thoughtful and powerful attempt to bring the new covenant down to our times in practical terms. The first point to understand is that God will never break His covenant with us. Even when we fail to keep our part of the covenant, He will continue to reach out after us, to bring us back into His covenant. The only way we can be lost is if we determinedly reject His efforts and refuse to be part of His covenant. Salvation is only possible within the terms of the new covenant of grace. Our part is submission and obedience.

"Especially helpful are the practical suggestions of how we can be part of this covenant. There are specific and carefully outlined ways in which we can experience personal sanctification and be part of God's covenant. Far from being legalistic do's and don'ts, they outline a Biblically-based method is participating in the covenant of grace. Since we are living in the Day of Atonement, we have been given more insight into the character of God and His methods of defeating Satan's lies than ever before in history, and we should be grateful that God has given us practical strategies of participating in the defeat of Satan. We can all be part of the final vindication of God and the end of Satan's rule on this planet."
