Good recommendation, Lisa. Tripp has a wonderful heart for and of God.

Amen, Lisa! I agree with Michele…so glad you shared it after Christmas! There is so much to adore that one day or month will NEVER suffice!

I have not read much of Tripp, so I don’t know much about where he stands on things. But this sounds very much worth looking into.

I read a new one Gospel Meditations for Christmas by Chris Anderson, Joe Tyrpak, and Michael Barrett. Like you said of this book, the truths in it are eternal and good for any time of year.

P.S. I remembered to look in the name, email, and website boxes this time! And it did have Trudy’s information still there. I guess it’s not a major problem as long as I remember to look before posting the comment, except that some people might not want their email address out there for others to see. Is this happening to anyone else but me?

Thank you, Lisa. This book sounds great. I especially love how the author says that grace is a Person whose name is Jesus and that God not only gives us hope, but He is Hope. Also what you write about how we should adore Jesus every day, not just at Christmas. Love and hugs to you!

This sounds like a great devotional. We could all use a little dose of hope. Blessings!

I did not read a devotional for Advent/Christmas this year. I felt God calling me to be quiet with him and in the past sometimes focusing on a devotional has pulled me away from the real quiet. I tend to be an all in girl and want to be perfect so when reading a devotional that becomes my focus instead of God.

On another note, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this devotional.

I downloaded A. W. Tozer’s advent devotional this year but never started it. I started the new year with Timothy Keller’s The Songs of Jesus which is a daily devotional in the book of Psalms. I really love his writing. Tripp’s devotional sounds like another winner – thanks for sharing, Lisa! Have a blessed week!

Hi Lisa! I’m so glad you read, reviewed and recommended this book. I have been through it three times already- I read two chapters a day in october (got it in the middle of the month); then one chapter for November and December. I reviewed it here: http://billgrandi.ovcf.org/wordpress/?p=14190. Like you I may not always agree with PDT’s theology, but wow the meat in this devotional for “Christmas” is amazing! Each time I read it I used a different color pen and looked for something new each time. I will do that again later this year. I do recommend his New Morning Mercies for a 365 daily devotional.

Looks like a good devotional; Barb reads them, and I will pass it on.

Interesting thing about hope; when it fades and God seems far away, there’s still discipline, the mental willingness (allied, certainly, with the physical) to keep oneself ready for when and if hope’s embers might stir again. The discipline to have faith because it’s defined by what’s not seen, to care because one once cared, and to keep loving because one once felt loved.
