Paul David Tripp expertly traverses the deepest recesses of the human heart and compassionately invites fellow Christian travelers to journey with him into God's bigger kingdom. Readers will be encouraged, excited, and motivated by hope as they learn how to set aside their "little kingdom" attachments—which can expertly masquerade within the church as Christian activism, legalism, emotionalism, formalism, creedalism, and externalism—in favor of God's expansive and soul-freeing eternal quest.

Tripp demonstrates through sound, biblical principles how humanity is made by God to transcend far beyond the mere physical realm, and humans are likewise created to be "glory junkies;" those whose visionary lives are governed by God's grand purposes rather than existing only within their narrow, self-interested confines.

Tripp shows Christians how to "transcend" through daily, moment-by-moment practical methodology that transforms individuals into the image of Christ.

Within this purpose-driven framework, Paul David Tripp compels believers to see beyond the worldly deception of personal achievement, success, materialism to break free from this ungodly fulfillment that is too easily satisfied with a mediocre walk with Christ. Instead the author invites committed sojourners to a life characterized by an unyielding passion that pursues God simply for the pleasure of his glorious company and, in the process, affect eternal change in a hurting, hopeless world.

Endorsements

"Wow! I was doing fine mowing the lawn in my little kingdom . . . until I read Paul Tripp's book and found that I had been mowing with a toy lawnmower and the grass was Astroturf. This is a book about the kingdom and your part in it. If you’re satisfied with the toy lawnmower, stay away from this book. But if you really want more (and you know you do), this book could change your life."
Steve Brown, Author; professor at Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, FL; president of Key Life Network, Inc.

"Many people have read books about purpose or meaning in life only to find their hearts were still restless, longing for something more. As you read this book, I suspect you will find yourself saying, 'Yes! That's it! This guy gets it!' Paul David Tripp not only understands the longing of the human heart for something more, but he skillfully leads each one of us to the 'above and more' for which we were created.
Bob Lepine, Cohost, FamilyLife Today

"The kingdom of self or the kingdom of God: Which will we pursue on a daily basis? Paul Tripp offers a compelling challenge to pursue God's with King Christ at the center! Then we will understand the purpose for which we were created. Then we will live a life that truly makes a difference.
Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC

Another Great Book by PDT

Published by David Hamrick on 08 31 2015

Yet again another great book by PDT! As he explains in the introduction, the first few chapters will dig deep into your heart and it's tendency to be consumed with self rather than what you were created for, namely God and his Kingdom. Many of the chapters will lift up and encourage you. Mr. Tripp is great at applying the gospel to the heart. I recommend his teachings and books to many that want to go past behavior modification and who seek heart change and mind transformation.

Antidote to the "Selfie" Culture

Published by Patricia J. Kreiger on 07 23 2015

I have been a follower of Jesus for 60+ years. This book opened my eyes to how little I still understand of the depth of God's love for me...and the height of what He wants to accomplish thru me for His glory alone. In this "selfie" culture, this book is a primer on Matthew 10:39--"He who loses his life for my sake will find it.

A Game Changer

Published by Meridith P on 06 13 2015

I have been constantly recommending this book the entire time I have been reading it. Recognizing the difference between living for His Kingdom and living for your own kingdom is quite possibly the most important thing you can do to go deeper still in your walk. This is a book you will read again and again, especially to ask yourself the poignant questions regarding your own heart's desires and treasures.

Excellent and Practical!

Published by Bethany Black on 02 04 2015

Overall, I liked the approach to evaluating all we do in the light of "the little kingdom" or " the big kingdom". I think it will challenge me to assess how I spend my time , and give me a reason to re-evaluate my interactions with others in the workplace and community. Interestingly, today I finished this book and read David Foster Wallace's commencement speech to Kenyon College from 2005. Wallace recognized the hopelessness in the self- absorbed life of " the little kingdom". He seemed to recognize the joy of living for something bigger than himself, but sadly, he never new the life that is available in our Saviour.
