Paul David Tripp
What is it?
In this book (a rebranded edition of What Did You Expect?), Paul Tripp provides practical and biblical truths to help us when reality doesn’t match our marriage expectations. His book points us to the Lord and His rescuing grace as the hope for broken people and marriages. As Paul says: “God will find ways to drive you to the end of yourself so that you will put your hope and strength in him….Moments of weakness are there because of divine intention. They are the delivery system of glorious forgiving, empowering, and motivating grace. God is using them to rescue you from you and to make you a person who, in marriage, really is committed to love as you have been loved”
Who’s it for?
Whether you’re considering marriage or been married for 20 years, you’ll find this to be a helpful resource on how to think about marriage and how the Gospel applies to your relationship with your spouse.
