Long Obedience in the Same Direction

Discipleship in an Instant Society

De: Eugene H. Peterson

Narrado por: 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.

Refreshing and enjoyable

This is a refreshing and enjoyable look at the Christian life. We are not promised a life of ease, but one that will lead to joy. The book belongs alongside such classics as Hind’s Feet in High Places.

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.

Great listen and great wisdom

I absolutely loved this book. Great solid perspective with no add ons to the gospel. Love it.

walking with God through the Psalms of ascent.

this is classic Peterson. hey beautiful retelling of the Psalms and what it means to truly walk with God and hear from him through his word.

A Classic... A Must Read

This book is so important. I think it really teaches the listener a lot about how to read, understand and apply biblical content. It paints a full picture of the past, present and future of being a Christ-follower.

Akin to a conversation with a wise uncle!

A wonderful and much needed journey through the Songs of Assents (Psalms 120-134), led gently by a gracious and scholarly shepherd. Many insights into the proper approach to scripture: read carefully, slowly, prayerfully, humbly, etc. Almost demands acquiring a hard copy to read, re-read, and pray through quietly and slowly. .
