About the author
Paul David Tripp
133 books1,418 followersPaul was born in Toledo, Ohio to Bob and Fae Tripp on November 12, 1950. Paul spent all of his growing years in Toledo until his college years when his parents moved to Southern California.
At Columbia Bible College from 1968-1972, (now Columbia International University) Paul majored in Bible and Christian Education. Although he had planned to be there for only two years and then to study journalism, Paul more and more felt like there was so much of the theology of Scripture that he did not understand, so he decided to go to seminary. Paul met Luella Jackson at College and they married in 1971. In 1971, Paul took his first pastoral position and has had a heart for the local church ever since. After college, Paul completed his Master of Divinity degree at the Reformed Episcopal Seminary (now known as Philadelphia Theological Seminary) in Philadelphia (1972-1975). It was during these days that Paul’s commitment to ministry solidified. After seminary, Paul was involved in planting a church in Scranton, Pennsylvania (1977-1987) where he also founded a Christian School. During the years in Scranton, Paul became involved in music, traveling with a band and writing worship songs. In Scranton, Paul became interested in biblical counseling and decided to enroll in the D.Min program in Biblical Counseling at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia. Paul then became a faculty member of the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation (CCEF) and a lecturer in biblical counseling at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia. Paul has also served as Visiting Professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.
In 2009, Paul joined the faculty of Redeemer Seminary (daughter school of Westminster) in Dallas, Texas as Professor of Pastoral Life and Care.[1]
Beginning in June, 2006, Paul became the President of Paul Tripp Ministries, a non-profit organization, whose mission statement is "Connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life." In addition to his current role as President of Paul Tripp Ministries, on January 1, 2007, Paul also became part of the pastoral staff at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, PA where he preached every Sunday evening and lead the Ministry to Center City through March, 2011 when he resigned due to the expanding time commitments needed at Paul Tripp Ministries.
Paul, Luella, and their four children moved to Philadelphia in 1987 and have lived there ever since. Paul is a prolific author and has written twelve books on Christian living which are sold internationally. Luella manages a large commercial art gallery in the city and Paul is very dedicated to painting as an avocation.[2] Paul’s driving passion is to help people understand how the gospel of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ really does speak with practical hope into all the things they will face in this broken world. Paul is a pastor with a pastor’s heart, a gifted speaker, his journey taking him all over the world, an author of numerous books on practical Christian living, and a man who is hopelessly in love with Luella.

Over the past year, I’ve been using Paul Tripp’s Everyday Gospel as a part of my devotional reading. While I’ve enjoyed many devotional books in the past, including several of Paul Tripp’s, this one is different. With Everyday Gospel, Tripp takes us through the entire Bible over 365 days.
Beginning in Genesis, each day has a few chapters assigned to read, and Tripp then writes a devotion to go along with those chapters. I chose to use the free ESV Bible App to listen to these chapters as I did my daily walks of our neighborhood. I found this book to be a valuable resource to assist you as you read through the entire Bible in a year, and highly recommend it to you.
Here are 25 of my favorite quotes from the book:
• As long as sin still lives inside of us, we will struggle with idols of the heart. God meets us not with condemnation but with convicting and empowering grace, so that he may purify us again to serve him and him alone.
• Our lives are mixed with sorrow and joy, courage and fear, but at the end of our journey we will look back at all the mountains and valleys and we will see one thing that was always there: the shepherding care of our Lord and Savior.
• God doesn’t call us because we have, in ourselves, everything we need to accomplish what he’s calling us to do. No, he calls weak and broken people to do huge and important things because he is able.
• God takes us to hard places not to do things to us, but to do things for and in us.
• Sabbath is God’s gift to us. It welcomes us to step away from our labors and remember who we are and who he is, so that in submission and rest we may once again find life and strength in him.
• God makes the invisible mercy of his kindness visible by sending people of mercy to respond with kindness to people who need mercy.
• As long as God calls us to be holy as he is holy, and as long as sin still lives inside of us, confession must be an essential ingredient in the life of every child of God.
• You and I should never stop celebrating that, because God is who he is, he not only judges sin but also extends grace for sinners. This is the overarching plot of the biblical story: sin, judgment, and atonement.
• Christian maturity is not about independence, but about a growing willingness to be wholly dependent on the providing grace of the Savior.
• Sin is deceitful, but God’s grace is up to the task; it will expose sin’s lies again and again until we’re on the other side and sin is no more.
• God’s sovereignty is no reason for our passivity. No, God exercises his sovereign rule through the vehicle of valid human choices and actions.
• It’s not the sovereignty of God or the responsibility of people. It’s both operating together to deliver God’s preordained plan.
• Partial obedience is not obedience at all; rather, it is dressed-up disobedience.
• Any time I give the love of my heart to something other than God, so that this love controls my thoughts, desires, choices, and actions in the way that only God should, I have committed spiritual adultery.
• Our thought life is a place of spiritual warfare, a place of battle between God’s will and our will, and for that we need God’s rescuing and protecting grace.
• Success in life and ministry isn’t God’s endorsement of your character but rather a revelation of his.
• God gives you success not to display your glory but to reveal his own.
• All the “kings” he has placed in my life are temporary representatives of Jesus’s always faithful and eternal kingship.
• God regularly takes his children places they never would have planned to go in order to produce in and through them things they never could have produced on their own.
• As we read separate parts of the grand biblical story, we must remember that the central character of every chapter of the biblical story is the Lord. The biblical story is his story. He is on center stage, and the spotlight is always on him.
• When you are jealous of the gifts and successes of others, you’re not just angry that you don’t have what they have; you are angry with God.
• Every truth in the Bible calls you to a certain lifestyle. If biblical truth doesn’t radically change the way you act, react, and respond, then you probably don’t
• Jesus offers us not only real life with a joyous end, but also power right here, right now to stand against sin’s deceit.
• The Bible is a story, God’s story. It is his biography; he is the hero of every story, and he is always on center stage.
• Everyone’s life is directed and shaped by what one’s heart values and serves.

A great devotional accompaniment to my yearly read through the Bible. Highly recommended.
December 26, 2024
First sentence: Genesis begins with the most brilliant, mind-bending, and heart-engaging introduction to a book ever written.
Usually devotionals are not my thing. Usually. There are always a few exceptions and Paul David Tripp's newest book is such an exception. This devotional walks you--the reader--through the Bible reading it cover to cover, Genesis to Revelation. It is a Bible reading plan and a devotional.
The devotional entries spring [mostly] naturally from that day's reading. All tend to pointing readers back to gospel truths. Some tell more personal stories that shine a little more light in how one can live out Scripture. If it was just personal stories and the focus was only on his personal life, his ups and downs, his family, lessons he'd learned, then, I probably would not be gushing about this one.
I really love the gospel focus. So many essential, foundational gospel truths are shared day after day after day after day. I do believe that we as believers do need to hear the gospel often, even every day often.
There were so many sentences/paragraphs that I underlined/highlighted. This one isn't only occasionally good, it is frequently good. I could see myself sharing what I've read with others.
How much did I love this one? After reading it from the library, I bought it for myself for Christmas.

Everyday Gospel is the newest daily devotional from Paul David Tripp, but it's also a reading the bible in a year plan in that there are readings to help you read through the bible from Genesis to Revelation. Paul David Tripp is one of those few devotional writers that don't really speak about his own personal life, but points you back to scripture and helps you see theological truths that apply directly to you even points to ponder and think on that stay with you.
This is not my first introduction to Paul David Tripp as I am a big fan of his earlier work New Morning Mercies, and if you really liked that devotional, you will feel right at home with this latest edition. I love how it points you back to scripture and keeps you focused on applying scripture to your everyday life. The devotions are short, but stay with you throughout the day. I'm not really big on devotionals myself, but this one is a keeper and is being added to my own personal library. Highly recommend!!!!
*I received a copy of this book from Crossway. This review is my own opinion*

In Everyday Gospel, Paul Tripp presents a daily devotional connecting Scripture to all of life.
What I love about this book is that it is meant to be read alongside your Bible. There are 365 daily devotions so it follows a Bible-in-a-year reading plan. Tripp helps you reflect on God’s word and provides practical applications.
Enjoy the Journey
His entries are short so you’ll be spending most of your reading time in the Bible. What I found most helpful is that at the beginning of each devotion, he includes a big idea statement or question prompt to help you stay on track and engaged.
For those who are already familiar with Tripp’s work, this is a delightful way to keep his words of wisdom at your side as you walk with him through the Bible. If you have never read through the Bible before, you will find Tripp to be a clear and compelling guide as you enjoy your journey with Jesus.
I received a media copy of Everyday Gospel and this is my honest review.

I read (and took notes in, highlighted in, and underlined in) a parenting book by Paul David Tripp. It changed the way I live and relate to my kids. When I saw a Christmas devotional available on NetGalley, I requested it right away. I was not disappointed.
The set up of each day is:
1. Bible verse
2. Devotional
3. Reflection
4. Prayer
This plan is perfect for busy people but can also be studied deeper. The prayers are specific to the devotional of the day and definitely added to the book. The author has a way of making me think deeper about topics and verses I hadn’t considered before. I’d buy this book for myself or as a gift.
I received this ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

This avent devotional is for both new believers and those who have followed for a long time. Each chapter is meant to be read 1 day at a time from December 1-25. December 1 starts in Genesis & December 25 ends in Revelation. Each day has a short Bible passage to read & about 2 pages of text to go along with the scripture. There's a question for pondering & a prayer to conclude each day. In 25 days, it walks you through the redemption arc of scripture & prepares your heart for the celebration of Christ's first coming.

In "Everyday Gospel", Paul Tripp gives us 25 devotionals for the first 25 days of December, a very fitting way to prepare one's heart for the beautiful season of Christmas.
Each devotional is introduced by a scriptural passage which is engagingly and reverentially developed. Many of these receive far too little or no attention in Christian circles these days.
A beautiful little book for this cynical age.

I did the Advent portion of this devotional and it was so good!!! I cannot wait to do the entire thing. He is such a gifted writer on scripture. His writing is rich and easy to apply and truly makes you examine your heart in light of the gospel and leads you to respond is worship and awe of the Lord.
December 22, 2025
Another exceptional devotional by Paul Tripp. The Everyday Gospel Bible with this devotional interwoven within it is an exceptional guide for reading through the Bible in a year.
Tripp is gospel centered and grace repetitive and that’s a good thing.
I have given copies to our church leaders and missionary partners.

I really enjoyed this devotional. Tripp’s writing has always been a favorite of mine. This book did not disappoint. Covering chunks of scripture each day with a gospel focus was a nice companion to my daily Bible reading. Recommended
August 21, 2025
Great questions to ask ourselves about why we believe what we believe. Who do we put our trust in? God, or people?
I love the characters in this book. I also really loved the surprise ending.

Great devotional that also takes you through the whole Bible in a year. Highly recommend!

I have loved using this for the past year as a daily devotional. It is simple truth that goes a long way….This was such a sweet gift from a friend!

Not quite as good as New Morning mercies, but a great devotional for a whole year in the Bible

Excellent devotional by Paul Tripp.
December 25, 2025
The Everyday Gospel devotional by Paul David Tripp is a 365-day read through the Bible, starting with the first book of Genesis and ending with Revelations. The book provides a daily devotion, along with the suggested Bible reading to go with it. So you could use this book as just a daily devotional or as Bible reading guidance through the Bible in a year.
I have his other devotional book, New Morning Mercies, and I highly recommended that one and this new one will not disappoint. He has a strong understanding of the Word and great theology. He is one source I trust to read, based on other books I have read of his.
I read through the first week’s daily readings and have already found some helpful and encouraging words to ponder on. I am looking forward to reading more, and I am planning to use this book starting January 1st to go through the Bible for 2025.
In addition to being a good source, this book is beautiful in the hard-cover and provides a ribbon book mark. Here are a few pictures from my book:
This book is out and ready to purchase, and don’t forget to put this on your gift giving list for Christmas! Your friends and family will thank you!
