Product Description

▼▲

"...the Bible (the HOly Scriptures that Christians believe is the Word of God) is first and finally a text to be lived, not just studied and understood. Most of us pick up bad reading habits in our schools where there is no necessary connection between what we learn and the way we live." -from the Preface

Peterson offers this devotional, based on his best-selling translation The Message, as a companion for a full year of lived Christianity.

A unique daily devotional from beloved professor, pastor, and bestselling author of The Message Eugene Peterson that combines Scripture with reflections and insights.

Eugene Peterson’s classic translation of the Bible, The Message, has brought God’s words to life for millions of readers by seamlessly recreating the immediacy of Scripture in contemporary English. Now, in Living the Message, Peterson has created a devotional to help readers engage more intimately with God’s message and put His teachings into practice. Peterson’s meditations on spiritual life, the Bible, prayer, community, and faith accompany daily readings from Scripture and speak explicitly to the relevance of God’s word to the concerns and conditions of our day.

Packed with wisdom, hope, and reverence, Living the Message will empower readers to live out their faith more fully, one day at a time.
