Living Out the Word Made Flesh
“Sixty years ago I found myself distracted,” Eugene Peterson writes. “A chasm had developed between the best way I used to be preaching from the pulpit and my deepest convictions on what it meant to be a pastor.”
And so started Peterson’s journey to live and teach a lifetime of congruence—congruence between preaching and living, between what we do and the best way we do it, between what is written in Scripture and how we are living out that truth.
Nothing captures the biblical foundation for this journey better than Peterson’s teachings over his twenty-nine years as a pastor. As Kingfishers Catch Fire offers a never-before-published number of these teachings to any person eager for a richer, truer spirituality.
Peterson’s strikingly beautiful prose and deeply grounded insights usher us into a new understanding of how you can live out the excellent news of the Word made flesh.
This is one man’s compelling quest to discover not only how you can be a pastor but how you can be a human being.
