What do you do when you’re at the end of your rope? When you’re overwhelmed with anxiety and fear? When your whole world seems to be collapsing? For Christians, there is only one simple yet profound answer: turn to the triune God. Born out of lessons learned during one of the most spiritually challenging periods of his life, Experiencing the Trinity by pastor Joe Thorn contains 50 down-to-earth meditations on God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Overflowing with scriptural truth, pastoral wisdom, and personal honesty, this book reflects on common experiences of doubt, fear, and temptation, pointing readers to the grace that God provides and the strength that he promises.

“All Christians believe in the Trinity, but most Christians, if we’re honest, don’t like to think about the Trinity that much. The doctrine seems abstract, dry, and distant from everyday life. This book will change that for you. Joe Thorn points us to the joy of a God who is Father, Son, and Spirit, showing us how this truth should prompt us to worship, pray, and trust. He applies this great doctrine without putting us out of its mystery. This book can better equip you to praise the God from whom all blessings flow.”
Russell Moore, Editor in Chief, Christianity Today; author, Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America
“Experiencing the Trinity will help us focus on God in the midst of the dark clouds and thundering waves that threaten to sink us. The book you hold now is short, but the truths contained therein are neither flippant nor light. It’s just the kind of ballast you need in life’s storms.”
Gloria Furman, author, Labor with Hope and Missional Motherhood
“When we are confused and discouraged, where do we find and place our hope? Thorn has written insightful reflections on how knowing God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit transforms us. Experiencing the Trinity gives us the framework for finding lasting hope in God and will leave an impression on your soul.”
Trillia Newbell, author, If God Is For Us: The Everlasting Truth of Our Great Salvation
“Are you weary, discouraged, spiritually dry? Joe Thorn has found a deep well of living water in the desert, and each reading in this wonderful book provides a glorious supply for the parched in spirit. Experiencing the Trinity is real medicine for the soul.”
Jared C. Wilson, Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry and Author in Residence, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; author, The Imperfect Disciple and Love Me Anyway
“Joe Thorn is a pastor-theologian. He also, however, is a broken man. In this book he shares how Joe Thorn the pastor-theologian ministered to Joe Thorn the broken man—how reflection on the reality of all the graces of the triune God put him on the road to healing. Every pastor should want all of his church members to digest this book. It will encourage them toward a more profound dependence upon the grace of God. It will help them abandon all reservations they have to be grateful to God for all things. It will make them become better listeners to doctrinal preaching and will make the preacher himself a much more sensitive, reflective, and truth-oriented proclaimer of the Word of God.”
Tom J. Nettles, Professor of Historical Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; author, By His Grace and for His Glory
