1 post | 1 read
In these never-before-published stories, sayings, and biblical teachings, the beloved author and translator of The Message Bible shows us how the wisdom of deep faith helps us live well. Calming, encouraging, and profound.Matt Chandler, lead pastor of The Village Church Jesus words bring us the news of an expanded world, a bright world, a full-dimensioned world, a world in which God rules, mercy is common experience, and love is the daily working agenda. Eugene H. Peterson (19322018) was one of the most beloved authors, pastors, poets, and professors of our time. While millions have read his bestselling paraphrased Bible translation, The Message, far fewer have heard his direct practical insights and wisdom about how to live well. Eugene knew the extraordinary spirituality of ordinary life. He understood that we actually become more, not less, human as we grow to live like Jesus. And living like Jesus means living well. On Living Well collects some of Eugenes best never-before-published short writings to help you walk in the way of Jesus with a little more courage, passion, and hopeby offering new ways to practice generosity, community, prayer, simplicity, worship, inner peace, and so much more . . . even with the challenges of today. This book is a rich feast for the soul, ideal as a daily spiritual touchpoint or simply to nourish a heart hungry for pastoral wisdom. It is your invitation to enter into the meaningful simplicity of life with Jesus in a world of immense beauty, real difficulty, and endless wonder.

Good but different book as it is a collection of “brief reflections” from Peterson. Things he wrote in newsletters and notebooks that were never published widely. There were great insights for sure but the chapters were mostly super short and generally disconnected (which was the nature of the book).
