Everyday Gospel: A Daily Devotional Connecting Scripture to All of Life by Paul Tripp. Crossway. 489 pages. 2024
****

Over the past year, I’ve been using Paul Tripp’s Everyday Gospel as a part of my daily devotional reading. While I’ve enjoyed many devotional books in the past, including several of Paul Tripp’s, this one is different. With Everyday Gospel, Tripp takes us through the entire Bible over 365 days.
Beginning in Genesis, each day has a few chapters assigned to read, and Tripp then writes a devotion to go along with those chapters. I chose to use the free ESV Bible App to listen to these chapters as I did my daily walks of our neighborhood. I found this book to be a valuable resource to assist you as you read through the entire Bible in a year, and highly recommend it to you.
Here are 25 helpful quotes from the book:

My Review of the Movie ‘Nuremburg’

Nuremburg, rated PG-13
*** ½

Nuremburg is a well-acted historical film primarily about the relationship between Hermann Göring, played by Oscar winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator), the highest-ranking surviving Nazi, and American psychiatrist Captain Douglas Kelley, played by Oscar winner Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody).

The film’s title refers to the city where representatives of four Allied nations that teamed up to defeat Nazi Germany gathered to put its leaders on trial. Nuremburg picks up after the death of Hitler and the end of World War II. It covers the time before and during the trial of the twenty-one Nazi leaders, including Göring, who was Hitler’s former second in command. The film opens with Göring surrendering to American troops.
