Book Review: "Lost in the Middle: MidLife and the Grace of God" by Paul Tripp

Paul Tripp is well-known and loved for his many biblical counseling works. But of all that I’ve read from him, Lost in the Middle: MidLife and the Grace of God is my favorite. To me, it is his magnum opus, just as it seems that Trusting God was for Bridges. Lost in the Middle lovingly points out our wrong thinking about God and our circumstances, while supplying the truths from Scripture to get us back on the path of right and biblical thinking, that will ultimately heal our hearts and bring praise, glory, and honor to the Lord.

Book Review: "The Fruitful Wife" by Hayley DiMarco

I wasn’t more than a few pages into “The Fruitful Wife” before I broke out my highlighter, and my love affair with this book was born. The book is well written and engaging. Hayley DiMarco herself writes honestly about her faults and struggles in applying Galatians 5:22-23 to her life. She is sympathetic and understanding of our struggles too, but she is no pushover.

Book Review: "Transforming Prayer: How Everything Changes When You Seek God's Face" by Daniel Henderson

/

Worship-based prayer is what this book is all about and Daniel Henderson explains it this way: “Worship-based prayer seeks the face of God before the hand of God.” He goes on to explain what that means, saying, “I have learned that if all we ever do is seek God’s hand, we may miss His face; but if we seek His face, He will be glad to open His hand and satisfy the deepest desires of our hearts (page 27).”
