Whiter Than Snow: Meditations on Sin and Mercy

This book is 52 small chapters (most are 3 pages) from an author who has obviously spent a lot of time thinking about this psalm and his position before God. Its introspective nature is reflective of what comes to the mind of a man when he understands his depravity and is unable to change unless God supernaturally changes his heart. The 51st Psalm is Davids prayers of repentance and want of Gods mercy for his sinful nature, the author here goes after the same aspects of sin in our lives,showing on many occasions how we assume we are better than we are, he takes many of the verses that make up the 51st psalm and shows examples of how we can go to God with these things to receive forgiveness, mercy, healing and spiritual growth. There are in the book what I would gather as prayers, from the author to God, that are very moving and useful for our own meditation. It is very easy reading but that doesn't discount the depth of importance of the lessons to be learned. I'd be surprised if laymen or scholar didn't benefit from this work.

Walking with the Lord for over 18 years , I have either read, purchased or glanced at several devotionals.Many have sat on a shelf, either through boredom or being miles over my head.This one however is next to my recliner, battered and dog eared from being a constant in my life.The 1- 2 page devotionals and the prayer & reflections keep me moving forward, in conformity ,towards Christ likeness.Since buying my 1st copy, I've now bought several as it is a faithful & reliable gift for friends & graduation gifts.Dr. Tripp has a gift for pointing towards the Glory of GOD, the drag on our hearts of sin and conviction & tools to honor the Lord.

Very good read. Come into reading the book with an open mind and allow God to work in your life. I think too often, we as Christians, and I do it too, take the approach of what can God do for me and don't like this or that if things don't meet our expectations, that we miss out on the maybe small things that we don't expect that God has for us. So just use this book as a supplement to your normal prayer and study and it would be a good supplement. It's not going to fix anything in your life though, so don't expect that. That's God's job and yours to listen and steward the responsibilities you're given.

Haven't finished it yet, but I find each meditation really thought provoking. I think it is good to reflect regularly on sin, grace and redemption, and I am reading it as my lunch-time devotional. I kind of wish I bought the paperback because the devotionals suggest ideas I would like to notate on the page, something I prefer in ink on paper over the digital kind in Kindle.

Great book for devotional purposes or to use for a small group for discussion, which is what we are using if for. Some good material to get you thinking and convicted. Also the short questions at each 2 page chapter helps with discussion. We are using this in a men’s group and we meet for about an hour, it’s just the right amount of material. Highly recommend

Clear and easy to understandMore depth on Psalm 51 than I’ve ever hadSo much applicationA must reed

King David has always been a bible superhero to me growing up. Now as adult I have face many questions about my life and sins. This book offers a detailed description about the situation David got himself into and how the spiritual experience of his son ultimately leads him toward the heart of God.

The thoughts Paul shares on restoration within King David's life have been a healing throb in my heart. I've shared it often with those in hospital, who have lost loved ones, and who find themselves in the midst of difficult struggles wondering if God has abandoned them, or does not love them, or is unaware of their situation. Paul Tripp draws from the depths of Psalm 51 to answer these questions - and more.

Sehr hilfreich, wenn man sich täglich ein Bisschen mit dem Thema Buße beschäftigen will.

Staying 52 days in a Psalm is more exciting and difficult experience. The whole book concern about me and my inner man happy.

great news for everyone about sins being washed away. Easy to read.I would recommend it to everyone. A help for time and eternity

Excellent

Enjoying reading this thought provoking book!
