Synopsis

Humans are hardwired for awe. Our hearts are always captured by something―that’s how God made us. But sin threatens to distract us from the glory of our Creator. All too often, we stand in awe of everything but God. Uncovering the lies we believe about all the earthly things that promise us peace, life, and contentment, Paul Tripp redirects our gaze to God’s awe-inducing glory―showing how such a vision has the potential to impact our every thought, word, and deed.

What was awe-inspiring at podcast length was awe-crushing at book length. The book being published is the reason for the author being interviewed, but in its expanded form the subject suffers from repetition, verbosity, and ventures into smarminess. I have to admit that I'm burned out on the Science......more

I listened to an interview with the author on the radio before reading this. He came over very well. The basic idea is really interesting, though something many people will have been doing for years without necessarily realising it. The chapter, Wild Awe, is the highlight of the book, but a lot of t......more
