Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands by Paul Tripp is a comprehensive treatment of how God uses people as tools of change in other people's lives, 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.

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

“Rarely have I encountered a book that takes me by such surprise and merits such effusive praise, but this one is exceptional in every way. Working at a bookstore has afforded me the opportunity to read and review numerous titles and new releases, but Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands stands head and shoulders above the rest. After nearly a decade in print, I finally understand what the buzz was about—Tripp’s achievement is nothing less than a total reorientation of the way we think about our role in the lives of others. Brimming with wisdom, insight, and gospel encouragement on every page I’m delighted that we are able to give Instruments the widespread attention and treatment it deserves."
Here is a treasure trove of practical strategies and advice for real-life relationships. Written with the conviction that every relationship is a counseling relationship, Tripp has provided an invaluable resource for deepening our understanding of what it means to be instruments of God’s redeeming grace in the lives of others. I cannot commend this book too highly.”
- Benjamin Thocher, wtsbooks.com, staff
Staff Review: "If you liked War of Words you will love Instruments. Tripp, in his own down-to-earth way, seeks to set forth a philosophy and methodology for counseling using the CCEF's 'LOVE-KNOW-SPEAK-DO' model. Readers who want to help others while admitting their own need for God's grace will find encouragement in this practical resource."
-Daniel Willson, Westminster Bookstore Staff

"Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands" makes my list of the five books I wish every church member would read. It is the most helpful book I have ever read regarding practical ministry and providing pastoral guidance. But don't think this book is just for pastors. It is for everyone who knows that Christianity is a community project and that God's Word is sufficient for all we need in life and godliness. |
