New Morning Mercies is the first daily devotional book I've read that I can recommend. Most devotional books I've read are lightweight with sappy inspirational stories that do little more than make you smile (or gag) and forget what you read for the rest of the day. Paul Tripp's pastoral tone humbly reminds you of your need for grace and mercy, while giving you the hope that God grants that grace and mercy to you every day.

Tripp starts each day's reading with a Twitter-sized Gospel Truth that is easy to remember throughout the day. He reinforces this Truth with a short anecdote, reflection or poem. Finally, he points you to a scripture passage for further study and encouragement. I was surprised not to see the passages printed in the text as I have in many other devotionals, but I've come to like this format better. It allows for less pages in the book, a broader range of scripture lengths for whatever is necessary for that day, and you get to see the passage in the broader context of the Bible which can lead to further study.

I would recommend New Morning Mercies by Paul Tripp to anyone looking for a daily devotional book.

Epigraph

Dedication

Ben, you asked to be mentored and you became a substantial contributor. Isn't that just the way our God works?

First words

[Introduction] Each morning, I "tweet" three gospel thoughts.

Here's the bottom line. The Christian life, the church our faith are not about us, they're about him--his plan, his kingdom, his glory.
