Book Reviews of A Quest for More: Living for Something Bigger Than You
Book Review: More than just an inspiring read
Summary: 5 Stars
Reviewed by Vicki Landes for Reader Views (1/08)
"A Quest for More" strives to show our lives as `little kingdoms' in relation to God's kingdom in hopes that we realize we need more than just a busy jumble of daily activities to be satisfied. Instead, Tripp focuses on transcendence - to rise above ourselves for something much greater. "This desire for transcendence is in all of us because God placed it there. He constructed us to live for more than ourselves." He urges us to use this God-given drive for something other than gaining material possessions or personal success.
Paul David Tripp imparts some very weighty points for consideration and contemplation throughout his book. Further, he makes it easy to see how his information can be applied in a myriad of situations in everyday life. "A Quest for More" is extremely thorough and organized in examining a transcendent lifestyle while backed with plenty of biblical scriptures. Like his other books, Tripp writes with the gentle tone of fatherly authority. "A Quest for More" is encouraging and uplifting while holding firm to its heavenly principles of service to God.
"A Quest for More" is more than just an inspiring read; it's a catalyst for action and inner scrutiny. I especially liked his points he makes in regard to today's `Jesus is my BFF' mentality: "In our comfortable, meet-my-needs, God's-my-best-buddy form of Christianity, [fear of the Lord] is a very timely call." I see "A Quest for More" as a jarring reality check for anyone who feels their method of worship has hit a plateau or gotten too easy.
Looking for more out of life? Paul David Tripp offers more in his appropriately titled new book, "A Quest for More," but it's not what our society views as the typical path to a bigger, better life. Scriptural foundations still have modern day applications and Paul David Tripp makes it easy to learn the how's and why's of living for something much bigger than yourself.
