Whiter Than Snow: Meditations on Sin and Mercy 2 reviews
Paul David Tripp
Crossway Books, 2008
Meditation on a great Psalm
This book is 52 small chapters (most are 3 pages) from an author who has obviously spent a lot of time thinking about this psalm and his position before God. Its introspective nature is reflective of what comes to the mind of a man when he understands his depravity and is unable to change unless God supernaturally changes his heart. The 51st Psalm is Davids prayers of repentance and want of Gods ...

Lost in the Middle: Midlife and the Grace of God 14 reviews
Paul David Tripp
Shepherd Press, 2004
Verbose but Absorbing
Paul David Tripp's book starts by describing three main triggers of mid-life malaise - mortality, regret, and broken dreams - and then walks through practical and biblically-based strategies for understanding, healing, hope, and renewal.

War of Words: Getting to the Heart of Your Communication Struggles (Resources for Changing Lives)17 reviews
Paul David Tripp
P & R Publishing, 2000
Excellent Guide to Communication within Relationships
This is the best book I've ever read on how Christians should behave in terms of communicating with one other. Tripp points out the (not always so) obvious that Scripture clearly teaches that anger is a sin, and if we use anger in our communication, it means we are not trusting God who is sovereign over our lives and circumstances. He asks the pointed question: Are you willing to sin in order to ...

Real Ministry
I was given this book by a mentor of mine and told that it would be extremely helpful. The problem is that I saw it was deemed a "counseling" book on the back, so I moved on for a while before I picked it up and read it. I continued to see the book on the "Best Seller's" list at many sites that I admire, so I finally picked the book up and started to read. I have to be honest, if I were to try ...

How People Change9 reviews
Timothy S. Lane, Paul David Tripp
New Growth Press, 2008
Excellent!
This is an excellent book on how change happens in a Christian's life. Convinced that many people are filling the void in their lives (what the authors call "the gospel gap") with things that are NOT the gospel, though they may be good (e.g. bible study, activities, experiences, etc.) the authors seek to drive home the power of the gospel itself to bring about genuine, lasting change in our ...

Pastoral Leadership for Manhood and Womanhood (Foundations of the Family)1 review
Crossway Books, 2003
Excellent practical help for busy pastors
I cannot imagine a more relavant book for busy pastors than this. There is condensed wisdom to be found here from those who have obviously wrestled with the many issues that face us these days. The editors asume that faithfulness to scripture regarding manhood and womanhood is itself 'leadership'. For this approach many will be grateful. A variety of experienced contributors provide more tham ...
