Review
“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

- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2024This is an awesome devotional to get ready for worship and going to church! Makes a great gift too!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023Several years ago, a friend gave me one of Paul David Tripp’s devotionals. I was blessed by his perspective and consistency in pointing us back to what is really important—Jesus and the gospel. When I saw that this book was coming out, I knew I wanted to read it, too. Even though I’ve been a Christian for years now, I feel like I still have a lot to learn about preparing my heart for worship, and anything that can help me do better at centering my heart and affections on my Savior is a book worth reading.
I’ve really appreciated this devotional. I haven’t finished reading it yet, because it isn’t the kind of book you want to rush through, but as a once-a-week devotional, it’s great. Each week’s entry is around four pages long, which is significantly longer than most devotionals I have read in the past. In that length, though, Tripp has some space to dive a bit more deeply into topics, and I really appreciate that. Then after each devotion, there are one or two scripture references to study and questions to provoke thought and discussion, either for yourself or with other family members. I’ve come away blessed, encouraged, and challenged from the thoughts he has to share.
As the kind of person who can easily find myself thinking about struggles and work from the past week as I’m sitting in church on Sunday morning, I feel like devotionals like these are a great way to remind myself why I’m a Christian, who Jesus is, and why we gather for church in the first place. I’ve found this book helpful, and if you are looking for a way to encourage your and your family’s hearts on Sunday morning before church, I’d highly recommend you check this out and get a copy for a friend—it’s been a great blessing to me!
I was given a complimentary copy of this book, and this is my honest opinion of it.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024My mom actually told me about this book. She said it really got her in the right mind set for the next sermon. Mom knows best so I ordered while on the phone with her. The chapters are very easy to read and understand plus they are relatively short. If us Christians are honest we all need a bump from time to time. It's helped me in my walk with the Lord.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024Every week is convicting and exactly what I need to hear. Love it so far. Update: this is the best devotional book I have ever read. I can't begin to say how much richness and Godly wisdom is in this book. How to live life skillfully right here for $24.99. We serve an amazing God.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024This is a wonderful devotional book!
