Paul David Tripp's best-selling book, Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands, opened the eyes of thousands of men and women within the church to how they can be part of the change process in others' lives. This interactive small group resource is based on the book and designed to help small groups, Sunday school classes, and others explore together the practical ways God works out change in his people.
Coming alongside others in biblical change is a community process, and it's often messy. Through twelve lessons, homework discussions, and "Make It Real" life applications, the Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands Study Guide helps participants grasp the lasting change they so desperately desire—while working together.
The small group study series includes a thumbdrive, study guide, and facilitator's guide. God uses his people as tools of change. With these resources, find out how you can be a part of that change in your personal or church-wide ministry.

"When pastors or laypeople ask me for one book to read on biblical counseling, I point them to the excellent work in Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands. This study guide is a sound, thoroughly biblical, and practical guide for biblical counseling. If you are looking for a way to help your congregation understand how to counsel one another with the Word of God, Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands Study Guide will be an immense help to your ministry."

"We adopted the Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands Study Guide as a required training curriculum for our ministry team, as it solidly reinforces our shared commitment to an entirely biblical, Christ-centered, discipleship approach in the context of the body of Christ. I'll be forever grateful for how these resources have been used in my own life, and in the lives of so many others, to grasp the lasting change that all of us so desperately desire. Keep up the good work."
Daniel Gavin, Director, Addictions Victorious
"As a pastor, I'm thankful for the Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands Study Guide. We've used it to train dozens of adults in personal ministry. Now members of our congregation regularly dispense biblical counsel to one another over the phone, at a coffee shop, in a living room. As a result, while our church has grown, my counseling schedule has actually decreased because issues and struggles are addressed before they become full-blown problems."
Ken Brown, Pastor, Community Baptist, New Boston, MI
