What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“The Lord has called the whole family of God to come and sing together to him. This book will help tune our hearts to do that!”
—Keith and Kristyn Getty, hymn writers and recording artists, “In Christ Alone”; authors, Sing! How Worship Transforms Your Life, Family, and Church 

“Sunday Matters is a book that matters. In this brilliant new devotional, Paul Tripp encourages us not to give up the habit of meeting together—reminding us just how profound a gift our corporate worship can be. In recent times many around the world had the blessing of the gathered church temporarily taken away. As we bounced back, we remembered once again that we are better together, and we treasured the unparalleled dynamic of the living God dwelling among his people. We were never made to go ‘lone ranger’—that’s not how the kingdom of God works—and this book is a beautiful and timely reminder of that. Tripp is an inspiring writer, and each of these fifty-two chapters will lead you deeper into the glory of the gathered church.”
—Matt Redman, worship leader; songwriter

“Each act of corporate worship serves to help God’s people rehearse and remember the goodness of the gospel. From the call to worship to the benediction, we need a greater understanding of what we are doing when we gather and why we do it. Sunday Matters has helped me see with fresh eyes the beauty and wonder of corporate worship, and I pray it does the same for you.”
—Matthew Boswell, hymn writer; Pastor, The Trails Church, Celina, Texas

“Getting myself and our three young sons out the door to church was pure chaos at times. Tears and yelling were often involved, from me more than them. Paul David Tripp helps every single one of us remember why going to church matters and how to prepare our hearts to worship and encounter Jesus there each week. I wish I had this book years ago! This is a gift for you and your whole family.”
—Ann Wilson, Cohost, FamilyLife Today; author, Vertical Marriage and No Perfect Parents
