I just got Suffering by Paul David Tripp a couple of days ago and cannot put it down.

This is one of my favorite quotes from the first pages:

“Here’s is what is so important to understand and what may be the principal contribution of this book: your suffering is more powerfully shaped by what’s in your heart than by what’s in your body or in the world around you.”

Yes, it’s another book that makes everything about the Gospel and about knowing Christ. My kind of read!

I recently suggested When God is Silent by Dr. John Koessler to some of the women in our Wednesday night Women’s Bible Study. After some discussion we decided we would go through it together as a group. There are so many reasons we love this book. Maybe the number one reason is the honesty with which Dr. Koessler writes. He helped us look at the most common prayer-struggles and made us dig deep into God’s Word for answers. We found ourselves immersed in the pages of Scriptures during our time together. If you decide to read it, make sure you keep a highlighter close. The book comes with a free study guide in the back which is helpful for any small group (men or women) or for your own reflection time.

After I read Holy Sexuality and the Gospel, I picked up several copies to give away.
Dr. Christopher Yuan does an amazing job of helping the reader navigate through the onslaught of today’s lies about our sexual identity. If you don’t have time to read it, listen to the audio version.
