Paul Tripp

Dr. Paul David Tripp is a pastor, counselor, event speaker, and award­-winning author. With more than 30 books and video series on Christian living, including the best­selling What Did You Expect? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage, Paul’s driving passion is to connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life. He and his wife Luella have been married for 46 years. They live in Philadelphia and have four grown children.

Digital media and technology are altering the way people act—and react—toward each other. Criticism, outrage, and controversy dominate social engagement and unfortunately many Christians have joined in the chaos. It’s a troubling contrast to Jesus’s words in John 13:35: “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Award-winning author Paul David Tripp instructs believers to view digital media and technology through the lens of the gospel and points them toward a biblical framework for communication. Explaining how God wants the church to engage with culture and each other, Tripp encourages Christians to think wisely about their interactions and be a beacon of light in an age of toxicity.

Deepen your Lenten experience as you undertake a journey of humble reflection and honest examination! Inviting you to set aside busyness and embrace quiet, Tripp's 40-day devotional encourages you to let go of worldly things, acknowledge your sins, consider Jesus' suffering and sacrifice, and abide in God's forgiveness and joy as you follow Christ more faithfully.

Every day can be filled with celebrations, confessions, and confusion. So Tripp shares his own personal reflections on life's ups and downs in the form of 121 poems written over many years and various seasons of his faith journey. He poignantly recalls how God's amazing grace was present in the marvelous, mundane, and messy moments. Features full color photography throughout and an uncluttered aesthetic, mirroring the reflective nature of Tripp's poems. 256 pages, softcover from Crossway.

This colorful, beautifully illustrated children's book invites children ages three through eight into Halle Hedgehog's world to learn alongside her how Jesus gives her courage to take a stand against meanness. Parents and children will learn concrete, grace-based ways to deal with the pressures of fitting in. Halle Hedgehog has a group of school friends she sits with at lunch and plays with at recess. One day, the whole group excludes another girl and decides to be mean to her. This bothers Halle, but she doesn't say anything because she doesn't want to be excluded, too. Halle's teacher Mr. Owl talks to her about who she really needs to fit in with, and how she can speak out against bullying because Jesus is with her.
