Journey to the Cross: A 40-Day Lenten Devotional
Journey through Lent with Best-Selling Author Paul David Tripp
“During our forty days together, may your mourning increase so that your joy may deepen.”
—Paul David Tripp
Lent is a time in the yearly Christian calendar when we mourn our sin and let go of worldly things that keep our hearts from experiencing God more fully. But how do we reevaluate and recalibrate the values of our hearts to match those of our suffering Savior?
In this forty-day Lenten devotional, best-selling author Paul David Tripp invites us to set aside time from the busyness of our lives to focus on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus. Each of the short readings encourages us to abide in the abundant joy found in Christ as we encounter the Savior more fully and follow him more faithfully during this Lenten season.

True Relationship with Jesus
I Am so in love with this book!!! I truly highly recommend this 40 day Lenten devotional to anyone that truly wants a closer relationship with the Lord. It is an excellent exceptional book!!! I read the daily lesson but can’t wait for the next day to read another section. It’s about 3 or 4 pages per day but it’s so beautiful and makes you think about your Relationship with God. I love love love this book and believe me you will Not regret it if you buy it!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
WOW!
Wow! I have always given something up for Lent since I was a kid... yet this way of spending 40 days is wrecking my heart in a good way. By constantly evaluating our behaviors and habits and sin areas makes us ever aware of our blessed daily need for grace and the beauty of confession leading toward real transformation in Christ! Deep, but worth every penny.
My first Lent
Even though I am a life long Nazarene, I have never celebrated Lent, because it was Catholic thing. I have missed out. What a wonderful time this has been to me. I really enjoyed each lesson and I even kept a journal, and answered the three questions at the end of every lesson. I highly recommend doing that, and they were complex questions. I really like Paul David Tripp's work. Nicely done.
Life changing
Great for owning up, and moving towards a new profound relationship with God. I really like this book, because it tells you what to read from the actual Bible to apply with the lesson that I continuously felt like he was calling me out for.
Excellent!
I’m just through Day 19 of this Lenten devotional, and Iam having a very meaningful experience with the reading and working through the daily questions. Highly recommend!
A strong, accessible work
Tripp has composed a thoughtful, well-written series of considerations worthy of the purpose behind the Lenten season. Even as a non-practitioner of Lent, I found this to be helpful, theologically accurate, and worth my time; maybe on a yearly basis leading up to Easter to prepare my mind to more fully appreciate Resurrection weekend. Recommended.
I never write amazon reviews...
but this book was is a blessing from GOD! If you are considering getting it, please do, you will be filled with joy after reading it each day. So GOOD!
Excellent Book of Inspiration & Prayer.
Paul Tripp is amazing. This book was a great inspiration during this Lenten season. This was my third Paul Tripp book. Planing on adding more of his books to my prayer life. I can only praise this wonderful man for enlightening my faith walk with the Lord.
Not his best
I’ve read several of Tripp’s books and share his theology. I was at the same reading Lenten devotions taken from the writings of Evelyn Underhill. There’s just no comparison in terms of quality in writing and content. Journey to the Cross had so much repetition in the writing, it often reads like filler and a fulfillment of a book contract.
Best book I've read lately!
I chose this book because I wanted something to put my mind on Christ 4 a while before Easter. I found it to be more than helpful! It really enabled me to see my sin and how it devastates my life at times. I've done it twice now. And I think I will read it every couple of months!
