New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional (Paul David Tripp)

New Morning Mercies

A Daily Gospel Devotional

365 Gospel-Centered Devotions for the Whole Year

Mornings can be tough. Sometimes, a hearty breakfast and strong cup of coffee just aren’t enough. Offering more than a rush of caffeine, best-selling author Paul David Tripp wants to energize you with the most potent encouragement imaginable: the gospel.

Forget light, feel-good devotional thoughts. Tripp knows what a believer really needs is an encounter with the living God. Then we’ll be prepared to trust in God’s goodness, rely on his grace, and live for his glory each and every day.

In New Morning Mercies Tripp likes to point out that mercies don’t just come in one color. There are:

• Awe-inspiring mercies
• Rebuking mercies
• Strengthening mercies
• Hope-giving mercies
• Heart-exposing mercies
• Rescuing mercies
• Transforming mercies
• Forgiving mercies
• Provision-making mercies
• Uncomfortable mercies
• Glory-revealing mercies
• Truth-illumining mercies
• Courage-giving mercies

Endorsements

“We have always resonated with Robert Robinson’s hymn ‘Come Thou Fount,’ especially the line, ‘Prone to wander—Lord, I feel it—prone to leave the God I love.’  We feel the pull daily away from God’s goodness and toward a pursuit of our own, way from God’s gracious acceptance and toward the exhausting, impossible weight of trying to tip the scales in our favor. We are grateful to God that Paul has written this devotional to help, in Robinson’s words, seal our hearts for God’s courts above. If you’re prone to wander, this book is for you.”

-— Matt Chandler, Pastor, The Village Church, Dallas, Texas

“Each day, these devotions offer a gospel-filled story along with a challenge and application for our daily lives. These passages of Scripture paired with hope-filled messages from Paul are a great way to learn more about the message of the gospel and the man Jesus Christ.”

-— Perry Noble, Senior Pastor, NewSpring Church, Anderson, South Carolina

About the Author

Paul David Tripp is a pastor, author and conference speaker, laboring to connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life. This vision has led Paul to write 20 books on Christian living and relationships. His driving passion is to help people understand how the gospel of Christ speaks with practical hope into all the things people experience in this broken world.

Paul was born in Toledo, Ohio to godly Christian parents. Even though the Tripp family was committed to daily family worship and attending church whenever the doors were open, they still had significant personal struggles. God used these experiences to build in Paul a desire to see the Gospel applied to the realities of life in a fallen world.

Paul attended Columbia Bible College (now Columbia International University) and majored in Bible and Christian Education. He went on to receive his M.Div from the Reformed Episcopal Seminary. He later earned a D.Min in Biblical Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary.

Paul launched his own ministry in 2006. With a pastor’s heart for pastors, he is also the Executive Director of The Center for Pastoral Life and Care. Besides New Morning Mercies he has author many books related to counseling and the Christian life.
