Long Obedience in the Same Direction

Discipleship in an Instant Society

By: Eugene H. Peterson

Narrated by: Lloyd James

This world is no friend to grace. God has given us some resources, however. As we grow in character qualities like hope, patience, repentance and joy, we ill grow in our ability to persevere. The biblical passages in these studies offer encouragement to continue in the path Christ has set forth for us.©2000 christianaudio.com; 2000 Eugene H Peterson

Honest, faithful, obedient commentary on the truth of God’s Word.

Masterfully presents helpful commentary regarding the life of a Christian without challenging or doubting the complete sufficiency of scripture.

Needs accurate chapter numbers and breaks

Great book, but I’d love to see the audio book actually have real chapter breaks instead of “chapters” that are actually composed of multiple chapters.

Simplifies that which was never meant to be difficult 

I love how this book is practical and yet encourages us to take seriously the devotion we have to Jesus Christ. 

Poignantly profound, spectacularly simple

This book took hold of my heart and asked me questions I didn’t know I needed to ponder.

Essential

I cannot recommend this book enough. This is one of Eugene Peterson’s best and most essential works.
