76. Everyday Gospel: Christmas Devotional. Paul David Tripp. 2025. 55 pages. [Source: Review copy] [4 stars, advent, Christmas devotional]
First sentence: I love Christmas.
Paul David Tripp has a devotional, Everyday Gospel. I read and reviewed it last year, I believe. (Whatever year it released is when I read it. I enjoyed it. I was happy to recommend it. I don't always recommend devotionals, mind you.) He has selected twenty-five readings to count down to Christmas that cover the WHOLE gospel story--with readings that cover Genesis to Revelation. (To clarify, there is not a reading from EVERY book of the Bible. But the readings cover ALL the highlights from both testaments so that if one was reading this one could get a grasp of the 'big picture' of what the Bible is about. It would be an appetizer perhaps for further exploration.
Each reading and accompanying devotion POINTS TO CHRIST. It was compiled to help FAMILIES have a resource to point their children of all ages to JESUS AS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON. Less stuff, more Christ.
Each devotion has a Scripture to be read, a devotion, a reflection with a question or two, and a prayer. There is substance in this one. IT is short. I'm not 100% convinced that you need this one in addition to Everyday Gospel--the 365 day devotional, but it is a nice bonus. Perhaps one could try this one and if they enjoy go out and seek the year-long devotional.
