Forever, Paul Tripp’s latest book examining eternity, covers a vast range of topics. The design of the front cover is as eye catching as the content, both implying we cannot live without eternity. Tripp declares that we have forever inside of us. He says that this longing for eternity causes us to be dissatisfied with the broken world we live in.

For years, pastor Paul Tripp understood we were 'hardwired for forever. You really are hardwired for eternity, and this book reveals how you can begin to view all that happens in your life as preparation for Forever. But he didn't understand that it was more than a valuable insight. It is a practical tool to help us face the disappointment of everyday life. Now he knows, and he can help you discover how to survive and thrive in the middle of your story, with the final chapter of heaven in view.

I really enjoy reading Paul David Tripp's books. He challenges me to think on a deeper level

I really enjoy reading Paul David Tripp's books. He challenges me to think on a deeper level. I am a mental health counselor and as I read his books, It feels like he understands the struggles of mankind. It is obvious he has been with people in their darkest times and he knows where true hope can be found. Tripp delineates specifically how having an eternal mindset makes a substantial difference in our lives in our relationship to God, those closest to us, at work, in our priorities, etc. I highly recommend this book as "must" reading and an excellent choice to give as a gift to those who are disillusioned, deceived, discouraged, and without hope in this life.

Is this all you’re living for? For years, pastor Paul Tripp understood we were “hardwired for forever.” But he didn’t understand that it was more than a valuable insight. It is a practical tool to help us face the disappointment of everyday life. Now he knows, and he can help you discover how to survive and thrive in the middle of your story, with the final chapter of heaven in view. Instead of embracing the world’s motto—“you only live once”—follow Tripp as he unpacks the biblical truth of the world as a broken place, longing for a second chance. And come alive as you discover the meaning and redemption all this brokenness can bring to your life today. With practical insights on how eternity impacts your relationships, your job, your kids, and your deepest struggles, you’ll be encouraged to relax into the eternal story God is writing for you. You really are hardwired for eternity, and this book reveals how you can begin to view all that happens in your life as preparation for Forever.

  • If you have ever asked yourself questions like: Why is it so hard to find satisfaction? Why is it so hard to find a good relationship? Why do I keep getting myself more and more into deeper debt? Why does it seem like life keeps getting more difficult? Why am I suffering so much? And many other questions like these - than this is a fantastic book for you.

    Paul Tripp writes with theological acumen, numerous biblical examples, brilliant illustrations, and practical insights in showing how we were made for eternity and that we need to factor in our lives the fall and the future in order to live in the now. Our current life is simply preparation for our ultimate destination. He shows how we typically view current realities without an eternal perspective and how devastating these consequences are and then shows on the flip side how we were designed to live with Christ at the center of all of life and how living with a forever mindset has gracious overtones leading to great peace and joy.

    Tripp delineates specifically how having an eternal mindset makes a substantial difference in our lives in our relationship to God, those closest to us, at work, in our priorities, etc.

    I highly recommend this book as "must" reading and an excellent choice to give as a gift to those who are disillusioned, deceived, discouraged, and without hope in this life. The gospel is clearly articulated here over and over in masterful brilliance shows how Christ is our only satisfaction in the now and how all our dreams will be satisfied in eternity through a personal relationship with Him.

  • I have purchased 4 copies of this book and have a copy on my Kindle. I meant for my friends to pass this book around, however, everyone is keeping the book for themselves. It is a book meant to be read over and over again so that the sweet truth of "forever" sinks in and fills you up. In writing this book, Paul Tripp has come up with a jewel of a read. Eternity amnesia, as Dr. Tripp calls it, strips people of hope. When we look at the situations in which we find ourselves, many times we are inclined to lose hope, sometimes lots of it. But when you look again at the situation with fresh eyes, in light of "forever", we realize that what we are going through is a "light, momentary, affliction". Ahhh, what a breath of freshness and sweetness that we find when "forever" is ever before us. Don't just buy one copy. Spread this book around. Don't worry, you won't get it back, but you will have bestowed a marvelous gift full of refreshment and hope to whomever you choose to give it. And keep a copy for yourself. You will want to read it again and again. It will change how you look at life.

  • Exactly what I needed to read at this moment. I'm so thankful for God's redeeming and transforming grace as he leads me to live in forever here and now. Thanks for reminding me!

  • I really appreciated the author's emphasis on eternity and the importance that it plays in our every day lives. We were created to live forever with God and our sin messed that up, but that didn't negate the yearning that we still have to spend eternity with Him, and nothing here on this earth can satisfy that yearning. Only "looking for that blessed hope" will bring true joy and contentment until that hope comes to fruition.

  • Awesome book!!! I'm very discerning when reading Christian books. Doing this with ladies for a Bible Study. We're really enjoying this one. I did his Age of Opportunity years ago and Highly Recommend!!!!

  • Hoping in eternity can majorly change your view of the now.

  • Paul Tripp again delivers a book that is not only readable but it is highly relevant to our culture today. We are a culture that is motivated to cram as much into our day as possible and if necessary go to work. We work so that we have the money to do the things that we really want to do.

    But as our culture gets more involved we are finding that the soccer moms are more stressed out than ever. They spend their day, cleaning, doing laundry, taking the kids to school, soccer practice, ballet lessons, piano lessons, after school events, church events and then family events. By the end of the day or the end of the week everyone falls into bed totally exhausted to grab a few hours sleep before starting the routine again.

    Why do we do that?

    In "Forever" Tripp is trying to help us sort out why we do what we do and what is the meaning of life for each of us. He believes that Christians have especially lost sight of `Forever.' We are supposed to live our lives with the hope of Eternity in our hearts. If that is true why don't we slow down enough to look at our lives and ask this question, "What impact does this event have on eternity?"

    Now granted some events have little or no impact on eternity yet God is happy we do them because they bring joy to our present life. But often times we strive to gain more money to buy more things to impress more people when with eternity in mind they have no impact on our Eternal Life.

    Many people today are seeing counselors because they can't say no. Or they don't see any value in their lives.

    Dr. Tripp wants us to stop and ask this question, "What did God have in mind for us when he planted the hope of Eternity in our hearts?" Wasn't it to give us some perspective of what value we ought to place on present day activities?

    My favorite chapters in his book were;
    Chapter 2, "The Pack-it-all-in Mentality"
    Chapter 7, "Hope Can't Live Without Forever"
    Chapter 8, "Suffering is Harder When You Have No Forever"
    Chapter 9, "Forever and Your Relationships"

    For me the most impacting was Chapter 8, "Suffering is Harder When You Have No Forever." I think Dr. Tripp does a great job of helping us to understand why bad things happen to good people and then to further understand why some people handle suffering better than others. With the hope of "Forever" in your heart you can see that present day suffering pales in comparison to our Eternal Future with the Lord. It helps us to have a different outlook on life.

    This book is going to be one of the best tools you can put in your library to help you in processing today's hectic lifestyle with our hope for the future.

  • Everything about this book says get real. Real about Gods design for your life not your design for your life. I found this book inspiring and eye opening and perspective altering. It puts you in a different position to view life through the lens of Gods reality.
