If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses?' -Jeremiah 12:5. All Christians long to live life at its best: to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do they often find their lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, so full of activity, but still devoid of fulfillment? How do Christians learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence:...

Society today is no less obsessed with the immediate than when Eugene Peterson first wrote this Christian classic. If anything, email and the Internet may have intensified the quest for the quick fix. But Peterson's time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the same: a long obedience in the same direction. Tucked away in the Hebrew Psalter, Peterson discovered 'an old dog-eared songbook,' the Songs of Ascents that were sung by pilgrims on...

"I cry out, God, call out: 'You're my last chance, my only hope for life!" -Psalm 142:5. Finding hope is a matter of seeing, of looking in the right direction. Hope means having the right perspective, point of view. We lose hope when our focus is fuzzy or we look in the wrong direction. Only God has the perfect perspective on every event, every circumstance. Our perspective will always be limited by the very fact that we are finite. But we can make...

Those familiar with any part of the Bible will recognize John 3,16, but find a mind-altering difference. The words are fresh, new, and sound like the 21st century. That's because it is from The Message, a presentation of the Word of God crafted for a modern age. Unlike other audio Bibles, The Message was fashioned by Eugene Peterson to be read aloud, not as a study Bible. Resurrection includes The Message audio from the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark,...

Just as God used words both to create the world and to give us commandments, people too use words for many different purposes. In fact, the same language is used to talk to each other and to talk to God. Can everyday speech, then, be just as important as the words and prayers we hear from the pulpit? Eugene Peterson unequivocally says, 'Yes!' Tell It Slant explores how Jesus used language: he was earthy, not abstract; metaphorical, not dogmatic. His...

The Jesus Way-part of Eugene Peterson's meaty "conversations" on spiritual theology
A way of sacrifice. A way of failure. A way on the margins. A way of holiness. In The Jesus Way Eugene Peterson shows how the ways of those who came before Christ-Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, and Isaiah-revealed and prepared the "way of the Lord" that became incarnate and complete in Jesus. Further, Peterson calls into question common "ways" followed by the contemporary...

In Practice Resurrection Peterson brings the voice of Scripture - especially Paul's letter to the Ephesians - and the voice of the contemporary Christian congregation together to unpack the crucial...
