A Quest for More: Living for Something Bigger Than You (Paul David Tripp)
Paul 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.
He writes, “It is a fundamental denial of your humanity to narrow the size of your life to the size of your own existence, because you were created to be an above and more being. You were made to be transcendent.”
Tripp then shows Christians how to “transcend” through daily, moment-by-moment, practical methodology that transforms individuals into the image of Christ.
