Listen to our podcast with Dr. Paul Tripp

A few days ago I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Dr. Paul Tripp concerning his first book published by Crossway Publishers. Whiter Than Snow was one of the best books that I have ever read on the subject of God’s tremendous grace and mercy. I think that if you’ve ever struggled with shame, disappointment, fear, and the reality of how dark your sin is - then you really will be ministered by this wonderful book, because it is an intimate look at David’s Psalm 51.

I must also add that recently in the blogosphere, Dr. Tripp has been the subject of much discussion on both Steve Camp’s blog and Ingrid Schlueter’s blog Slice of Laodicea. Ironically, the day I interviewed Dr. Tripp, was the day that both Steve and Ingrid wrote their blog posts about him. I had the opportunity to share with Dr. Tripp some of the comments Ingrid wrote on her blog, as well as some Steve had written and his response was very gracious. In a nutshell, he said that they both missed the point.

I asked Dr. Tripp if he cared to talk about that in our interview, and he declined. He chose rather to focus on his new book, Whiter Than Snow. I think that was a wise decision, and I share this with you, because I know some of you who read this blog, may take issue with me for even interviewing Dr. Tripp on his new book based on some of the commentary from Steve and Ingrid. I hope if you are one of those people, you will take the time to listen to the show.

The following video is a trailer for his new book Whiter Than Snow.
