New Morning Mercies for Teens

Paul David Tripp · 2024
78/100
👍 Worth It

Paul David Tripp is one of the most trusted voices in Reformed devotional writing, and adapting this format for teenagers is a genuinely smart move — the gospel-centered rather than behavior-focused approach is theologically mature and gives teens something to actually wrestle with rather than a checklist to perform. The Q&A section addressing anxiety, social media, and gender identity from a traditional evangelical perspective will be exactly right for some families and a sticking point for others, so know your audience before gifting it.
