Tripp starts out the book talking about mourning. After the year we had, we see more clearly than ever that there is much to mourn. Tripp goes on to say "The sad realities that cause you to mourn also cause you to cry out for the help, rescue, forgiveness, and deliverance of a Redeemer" (location 36). In this 40 day lenten devotional, we are invited to examine our hearts and remember what Jesus has done for us on the cross. The readings are deep, biblical, encouraging and thoughtful. It has caused me to look at things in a fresh way. I am growing deeper in my relationship with my Savior as a result. It was a great reminder that while my salvation is secure, I still need grace and help to fight the sin that remains in my heart.

Thank you to Crossway for providing me with a free e-copy of this book. I would highly recommend it. All opinions are my own.
