From the Publisher
"I've never read a book by Eugene Peterson that didn't stir and challenge me."
-- Max Lucado, author of In the Grip of Grace
"If, like me for twenty years, you find it hard to get into the Psalms, that is another reason to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest this brilliant book."
-- J. I. Packer, author of Knowing God
"A long obedience is the only path of discipleship to Jesus, and this is a message we desperately need to hear and implement today."
-- Dallas Willard, author of The Divine Conspiracy

Move Your Heart and Mind Towards God
How can we go deeper with God in prayer? What effect will this have in our daily lives? In A Long Obedience in the Same Direction, Eugene Peterson explores and explains what true discipleship looks like in an instant society.Songs of AscentsRecently re-released as the latest installment in The IVP Signature Collection, Peterson’s classic is a significant work on spiritual formation. By looking at Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134), Peterson highlights different areas for Christian growth.What impressed me the most was how Peterson stays relatable throughout the book. He acts as a guide, but also as one who understands the struggles, disappointments, and discomforts that come with Christian living. He is also steadfast in hope, stirring his readers on to love and good works, and encouraging us to cling to the Gospel of Christ.Move Your Heart and Mind Towards GodWhat stood out to me was the way Peterson describes the way God works in our lives as we seek to grow in Him. Certainly, there is work that must be done. But Peterson is quick to acknowledge that God gives the growth. Chapters are dedicated to Providence and Perseverance. Cultivating and nurturing are words Peterson uses to describe our Christian walk. And it all comes from a place of grace.This book is best read slowly as a devotional. Peterson uses his own translation of The Message Bible throughout, and it is clear that he chose his words to be easily understood. While I don’t use The Message in my Bible reading, I appreciate and admire Peterson’s wisdom shared in each chapter. He is wonderful with words, and he will move your heart and mind towards God.I received a media copy of A Long Obedience in the Same Direction and this is my honest review.
