Description Since Eugene Peterson first wrote this spiritual formation classic nearly forty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been inspired by its call to deeper discipleship.
This special commemorative edition of A Long Obedience in the Same Direction includes a new preface taken from Leif Peterson\'s eulogy at his father\'s memorial service..
With his prophetic and pastoral wisdom, Peterson shows how the psalms teach us to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community, and blessing.
Peterson finds encouragement for today\'s pilgrims in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134), sung by travelers on their way to worship in Jerusalem.
Following Jesus in this way requires a deepening life of prayer, and throughout history Christians have learned to pray from the Psalms.
But Peterson\'s time-tested prescription for Discipleship remains the same--a Long Obedience in the Same direction.
As a society, we are still obsessed with the immediate; new technologies have only intensified our quest for the quick fix.
