Description

As a society, we are no less obsessed with the immediate than when Eugene Peterson first wrote this Christian classic. If anything, email and the Web may have intensified our quest for the quick fix. But Peterson’s time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the similar–a long obedience in the similar direction. Tucked away within the Hebrew Psalter, Peterson came upon “an old dog-eared songbook,” the Songs of Ascents that were sung by pilgrims on their way as much as worship in Jerusalem. In these songs (Psalms 120-134) Peterson finds encouragement for brand new pilgrims as we discover ways to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community and blessing. This 20th anniversary edition of A Long Obedience within the Same Direction features these Psalms in Peterson’s widely acclaimed paraphrase, The Message. He also includes an epilogue wherein he reflects at the themes of this book and his ministry all over the twenty years since its original publication.
