For as long as I had this devotional - it has been my all time favorite! Highly recommend for believers at any stage of their faith.

This was first devotional I've completed that spans an entire year, although I've finished it a month early. I adored going through the devotional writings each day and found them to all be rooted in Biblical Truth. I appreciated the daily passages suggested for further study and encouragement, especially that they were for entire chapters or passages from books of the Bible. I often find devotionals or Bible reading plans will take singular verses out of context, usually manipulating them into the lesson the author wants to convey instead of what the Word conveys. I would highly recommend this devotional and look forward to revisiting it in a few years!
My only criticism is that the pronouns referring to God and Jesus were not capitalized, which I find disrespectful. That said, the heart of God was constantly on display throughout this devotional and I loved how grace was a constant theme. I also loved the emphasis on looking vertically for the things that only God can provide, as opposed to our tendency to look horizontally to others for fulfillment.

A daily devotional full of truth
Paul Tripp addresses the every day truths of the Christian life with the gospel. He doesn't sugarcoat our sin but confronts with the amazing fact that God meets us there, in our sin, in our pain, and gives us mercy and grace to walk with Christ.

This is the devotional that I return to year after year. Paul Tripp is real about the struggles of the Christian life, and his words never fail to lead to conviction and encouragement.

Updated 2023 review: I enjoyed it just as much as I did last year, however, I am not going to re-read it next year and instead focus on SRT Study Books!
2022 Review:
I loved this book so much that I'm re-reading it in 2023! I love Tripp's take on grace and our daily walk as sinners. This is by far my favorite devotional that I've done and I've done many. It is not fake inspirational and it is so relatable. I love it, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a new devotional!

The is one of my favorite daily devotionals I have ever done. I really am not always a fan of a devotional, but there have been so many helpful thoughts in this one - deep issues that are explained clearly and logically.
I had a bunch highlighted in a digital book and it was returned, so I know I will go through this again another year, and I already know it will speak to me again. I bought the gift edition so I could have a nice copy I could read over and over.
“Isn’t it amazing that each of the fundamental human fears is addressed and solved by the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ?” July 26
“The purpose of the cross is to completely decimate your loyalty to the most seductive / powerful of all idols - the idol of self. … we see it in others and deny it in ourselves. … we make it all about us. … our kingdom won’t come because his kingdom will.” August 3
Feeling alone? August 4
“Fear happens when I look at myself, assess my resources and conclude I do not have what it takes to do what God is calling me to do or to face what I have to face. … no, you should not deny your problems, but if you let them be the subject of your meditation, they will loom larger and larger, and you will grow more and more afraid.” August 26
“Hebrews 11 focuses more on what people did with their lives than it does on the details of their theology.” October 5
