Everyday Gospel: A Daily Devotional Connecting Scripture to All of Life. Paul David Tripp. 2024. 488 pages. [Source: Library] [5 stars, devotional, christian nonfiction]First sentence: Genesis begins with the most brilliant, mind-bending, and heart-engaging introduction to a book ever written.
Usually devotionals are not my thing. Usually. There are always a few exceptions and Paul David Tripp's newest book is such an exception. This devotional walks you--the reader--through the Bible reading it cover to cover, Genesis to Revelation. It is a Bible reading plan and a devotional.
The devotional entries spring [mostly] naturally from that day's reading. All tend to pointing readers back to gospel truths. Some tell more personal stories that shine a little more light in how one can live out Scripture. If it was just personal stories and the focus was only on his personal life, his ups and downs, his family, lessons he'd learned, then, I probably would not be gushing about this one.
I really love the gospel focus. So many essential, foundational gospel truths are shared day after day after day after day. I do believe that we as believers do need to hear the gospel often, even every day often.
There were so many sentences/paragraphs that I underlined/highlighted. This one isn't only occasionally good, it is frequently good. I could see myself sharing what I've read with others.
How much did I love this one? After reading it from the library, I bought it for myself for Christmas.
