A friend recently began saying ‘sorry prayers’ with his young daughter. ‘It felt awkward and embarrassing that I, the adult, the Christian, the one in ministry, had to say sorry to God for things.’
This story would fit well in Tripp’s latest book, which helpfully highlights, and painfully examines, specific temptations in the life of the gospel minister.
