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.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatt Redman\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e,\u003c\/strong\u003e worship leader; songwriter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Each act of corporate worship serves to help God’s people rehearse and remember the goodness of the gospel.
