Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands | Paul David Tripp

by Phil Gons on May 3rd, 2007

Instruments in the Redeemer’s HandsPaul David Tripp. Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands: People in Need of Change Helping People in Need of Change. P&R, 2002. 362 pp.

Comprehensive treatment of how God uses people as tools of change in the lives of others, people who themselves are in need of change.

In many ways, the church today has more consumers than committed participants. We see church merely as an event we attend or an organization we belong to, rather than as a calling that shapes our entire life.

Tripp explains how his work follows an “all of my people, all of the time” model. If you followed the Lord for a thousand years, you would still need the ministry of the body of Christ as much as you did the day you first believed. This need will remain until our sanctification is complete in Glory.

Pastors/Church Leaders

A wonderful application of the old Gaelic saying, “God strikes straight blows with crooked sticks.” As inadequate as we are, God is eager to use us to help others change. The more you apply the biblical principles discussed in this book, the more readily you will fit into his mighty hand. — Ken Sande, author of The Peacemaker

Tripp is a careful and skillful physician of the heart. He unites a loving heart with a mind trained to the Scriptures. This book is a great companion for pastors and counselors. It will guide anyone who wants to give real help to others, the saving help that is found in Christ’s redeeming work. — Richard D. Phillips, author of Walking With God
