A Quest for More: Living for Something Bigger Than You
 - A Live Conference with Paul David Tripp

Is Christ the center of your life?

Is He really your source, your motive, your goal, and your hope?

Is it possible that your Christianity may, in fact, exclude Christ?

“There really is no place for Christ in many people’s Christianity. Their faith is not actually in Christ; it is in Christianity and their own ability to live it out.”

Paul David Tripp expertly traverses the deepest recesses of the human heart and compassionately invites fellow Christian travelers to journey with him into God’s bigger kingdom. The author promises readers that they will be encouraged, excited, and motivated by hope as they learn how to set aside their “little kingdom” attachments which can expertly masquerade within the church as Christian activism, legalism, emotionalism, formalism, creedalism, and externalism; in favor of God’s expansive and soul-freeing eternal quest.

Tripp demonstrates through sound biblical principles how humanity is made by God to transcend far beyond the mere physical realm and is likewise created to be “glory junkies”—those whose visionary lives are governed by God’s grand purposes rather than existing only within their narrow self-interested confines. Writes the author, “It is a fundamental denial of your humanity to narrow the size of your life to the size of your own existence, because you were created to be an ‘above and more’ being. You were made to be transcendent.” Tripp then shows Christians how to “transcend” through daily, moment-by-moment, practical methodology that transforms individuals into the image of Christ.

It is within this purpose-drive framework, this quest for more, that Paul Tripp compels believers to see beyond the worldly description of personal achievement, success, and materialism, in order to break free from this ungodly fulfillment that is too easily satisfied with a mediocre walk with Christ. Instead, the author invites committed sojourners to a life characterized by an unyielding passion that pursues God simply for the pleasure of His glorious company and in the process, affects eternal change in a hurting, hopeless world.

"Wow! I was doing fine mowing the lawn in my little kingdom...until I read Paul Tripp's book and found that I had been mowing with a toy lawnmower and the grass was Astroturf. This is a book about the kingdom and your part in it. If you're satisfied with the toy lawnmower, stay away from this book. But if you really want more (and you know you do), this book could change your life." - Steve Brown, Author, Professor at Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando FL, President of Key Life Network, Inc.

"Many people have read books about purpose or meaning in life, only to find their hearts were still restless, longing for something more. As you read this book, I suspect you will find yourself saying, 'Yes! That's it! This guy gets it!' Paul David Tripp not only understands the longing of the human heart for something more, he skillfully leads each one of us to the "above and more" for which we were created." - Bob Lepine, Co-Host, FamilyLife Today

"The kingdom of self or the kingdom of God: which will we pursue on a daily basis? Paul Tripp offers a compelling challenge to pursue God's with King Christ at the center! Then we will understand the purpose for which we were created. Then we will live a life that truly makes a difference." - Daniel L. Akin, President and Professor of Preaching and Theology, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

"Paul Tripp has an exceptional gift for teaching and illustrating biblical truth in a way that exposes the grasping sins of our selfish hearts, while at the same time showing that the grace of God is available and attractive. A Quest for More is about living for something larger than ourselves, building God's kingdom instead of our own. Its message is simple: if we try to get more for ourselves of everything this world tries to offer, we will end up with much less; but if we live for Jesus, we will end up getting so much more of everything God wants to give us." - Philip Graham Ryken, Senior Minister, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia PA,

"I thank God for wise and insightful brothers like Paul Tripp, who help me see my idolatries and show me how I've tried to shrink the glorious kingdom of our Savior down to the size of my life and desires. I heartily recommend this book." - Elyse Fitzpatrick, Author of Because He Loves Me: How Christ Transforms Our Daily Life
