I just read the preface and meditations 1-4 of Paul Tripp’s collection of fifty-two meditations on Psalm 51. I found them both encouraging and convicting. Entitled Whiter Than Snow: Meditations on Sin and Mercy, this book strikes me as a fantastic devotional aid for those (like me) who are regularly in need of grasping more of the depth of our sinfulness and the magnitude and constancy of God’s grace. Tripp shows us that King David’s struggles are our struggles as well. And the mercy David found is the same mercy that sustains us every day.
What others are saying:
“Whiter than Snow is music for the sinner’s soul. In fifty-two personal, creative, and sometimes poetic devotionals, Paul Tripp responds to Psalm 51 the way a jazz musician improvises on a familiar tune. In making this sweet music, Dr. Tripp makes King David’s confession our own, helping us get honest about our sin and opening our hearts to the mercy of Jesus.”
– Philip Graham Ryken, Senior Minister, Tenth Presbyterian Church
“Whiter Than Snow: Meditations on Sin and Mercy is convicting and encouraging, cutting and healing. Paul Tripp delves into the misery of sin and the goodness of grace with insight and inspiration. This book wonderfully blessed me, and I pray for its widest possible reading.â€
