Endorsements

“As a sage with scars, Paul Tripp offers us contemplation, transparency, beauty, and verse spoken straight from his soul. But the impact of this book surfaces not in the scope of Tripp’s gifts or weakness but in the page-by-page celebration of God’s unrelenting grace. If you’re looking for a daily, creative, and soul-nourishing drip of gospel truth, feast upon the pages of this book!”
— Dave Harvey, Pastor, Summit Church, Fort Myers, Florida; author, When Sinners Say “I Do”

“Poetry is the expression of the heart and mind of a person. When that person reflects on the person and work of Jesus the expression is hopeful and redemptive. As an artist who uses words to express, I found joy in reading this work. This work connects with the human condition in a unique and awesome way.”

— Lecrae, Christian recording artist

“As with a timeless hymn lyric Paul has the great ability to grasp the vast riches of biblical truth and distill it for us in creative, compelling and wonderfully practical ways. His writing has regularly shaped how we think as individuals, parents and song-writers.”

— Keith & Kristyn Getty, modern hymn writers, including In Christ Alone

“As I read these meditations, I couldn’t help but wonder if these were the types of prayers the Holy Spirit speaks on our behalf when our groans are too deep for words. My Heart Cries Out is a beautiful, honest, and grace-filled collection of reflections from a heart that has been near to the Lord for many years. Your heart will cry out indeed; cry out for joy and thanksgiving as you read the pages of this wonderful book.”
