On today program, I will speak with Paul David Tripp about his book, "A Shelter in the Time of Storm: Meditations on God and Trouble. The book really is an exposition of the 27th Psalm.
Psalm 27 instructs and encourages believers to worship God through the ups and downs of life.
Psalm 27 is a psalm of trouble and worship, of difficulty and beauty, of the evil of people against people, and of the mercy of God. Because of its honesty about life in this fallen world, Psalm 27 speaks into the life of every believer. At the same time it places joyful and self-sacrificing worship right next to the trouble that is the psalm's background theme. This juxtaposition makes Psalm 27 unique, interesting, practical, challenging, and encouraging.
A Shelter in the Time of Storm takes readers through this roller-coaster-ride of a psalm in fifty-two brief and engaging meditations. These meditations are designed to fill hearts with a patient hope that grows stronger as the trouble-spotted days go by. Reflection questions at the end of the chapter make these meditations thought-provoking and practical.
Paul David Tripp is the president of Paul Tripp Ministries, a nonprofit organization working to connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life. He is on the pastoral staff at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia and is adjunct professor of practical theology at Westminster Theological Seminary. Tripp is a popular conference speaker and the author of several Christian-living books.
