$15.00Paul Tripp demonstrates, through sound biblical principles, how men and women are made by God for more than a merely physical realm. We are meant to be “glory junkies” – with visionary lives governed by God’s grand purposes rather than existing only within our narrow self-interested confines.

Tripp then shows Christians how to “transcend” through daily, moment-by-moment, practical methodology that transforms individuals into the image of Christ.
