Story5 out of 5 stars 75
"Sixty years ago I found myself distracted," Eugene Peterson writes. "A chasm had developed between the way I was preaching from the pulpit and my deepest convictions on what it meant to be a pastor."
And so began Peterson's journey to live and teach a life of congruence - congruence between preaching and living, between what we do and the way we do it, between what is written in scripture and how we live out that truth.
Nothing captures the biblical foundation for this journey better than Peterson's teachings over his 29 years as a pastor.

“If anyone knows how to be a pastor in the contemporary context that person is Eugene Peterson. Eugene possesses the rare combination of a pastor’s heart and a pastor’s art. Take and read!” (Richard J. Foster, author of Celebration of Discipline) “I’ve been nagging Eugene Peterson for years to write a memoir. In our clamorous, celebrity-driven, entertainment culture, his life and words convey a quiet whisper of sanity, authenticity, and, yes, holiness.” (Philip Yancey, author of What Good is God)

Eugene H. Peterson considers all the ways that Jesus is the Way compared to the distorted ways the modern American church has chosen to follow. Arguing that the way Jesus leads and the way we follow are symbiotic, Peterson begins with an extensive study of how the ways of those who came before Christ - Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Isaiah of Jerusalem, and Isaiah of the Exile - revealed and prepared the "way of the Lord" that became complete in Jesus.

"Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan." This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret - just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life.

Best-selling author John Ortberg dispels the myth that eternal life is something way out in outer space that we can only hope to experience after we die - and that being saved is merely about meeting the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven. Instead, John unpacks the reality that the moment we trust Christ, we are initiated into “eternal living” with God as a here and now reality, one that will continue beyond our life on this earth.

Millions are satisfied to sit through hour-long, weekly religious services. Millions more have left the church, brokenhearted and cynical. But God is waking up his people - people who will risk everything and sacrifice anything to become the dynamic, powerful church seen in Scripture. We Are Church calls Christ-followers, young and old, to hold fast to their biblical roots while seeking radical change. Scripture promises an exuberant and unstoppable church. That wondrous early church of acts can be our reality today.

Let Go of Control
- By taylor storey on 09-21-14
Publisher's Summary
We all long to live life at its best-to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do we often find our lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, so full of activity, but still devoid of fulfillment? How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence-to run with the horses in the jungle of life?
In a series of profound reflections on the life of Jeremiah the prophet, Eugene Peterson explores the heart of what it means to be fully and genuinely human. His writing is filled with humor and self-reflection, insight and wisdom, helping to set a course for others in the quest for life at its best.

A book about what life should be like . A real treasure
Eugene Peterson is an exceptional writer but most importantly is a wonderful man after God's heart. Run with the Horses helps makes sense of the muddled world we live in by using the life of Jeremiah as inspiration. It has left me motivated to pursue God the way Jeremiah did and to find security in Him alone. Every chapter is rich and full of wisdom to contemplate. I'm so glad I bought this - I find it best to have the printed copy as well so that I can go back to specific parts to underline and re-read.

Excellent. Encourages to live with deeper humanity
Love this book! Just finished it for a second time. This book inspires me to live with a deeper trust in God, to seek out a deeper connection and daily dependence on God, and to set my expectation for life to be hard and painstaking in reality. It lets me know that that is okay and just because happy endings don't always happen, it doesn't mean that I can't trust God or endure with him but rather the opposite. Because things are hard, I need to be deeply connected to the one source that is sovereign over it all and seeing beyond it all: God. That is the only way I can thrive!

WOW!! Did I Ever Learn Jeremiah's Faithfulness To God
Many a Christian man nor woman has the spiritual intestinal fortitude for being as hated and despised as Jeremiah because he lived a life of faith and trusted in the will of his God for his life.
At the end of this book, Jeremiah could have retired living a life of faith in practice by accepting the prestigious position that the Babylonian leaders offered him, but he passed it up to continue living the life of faith in Jesus Christ.
There were no areas in the reading of this book,
"Run with the Horses" that I found unpractical in biblical application to the believers life.
I rated this book with 5 stars in all three areas, Overall, Performance and Story because it flowed well with the Scriptures and the continued mention of faith in practice rather than faith in word only.
I recommend this book, "Run with the Horses" to all those Christians, who have surrendered their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ for Him to have His way in their lives, no matter the inconvenience or hardship.

The ability to do more
I recently started running (in January). One of the things I decided to do was to only listen to a certain book during these times (increasing motivation, right?). This was the book I started with and I absolutely loved being inside the story and mind of Jeremiah the prophet. I have always grown up hearing that he was a failure and it was so refreshing to hear how many amazing things God did through him and revealed to him in the midst of a turbulent time in Israel. Eugene Peterson has a way of taking you right into the story. 👏

Worth Hearing More than Once<br /><br />
This book is right up there with Dallas Willard's book, Life Without Lack on the 23rd Psalm. The chaos of life is nothing knew, nor having our very existence threatened, but, as both Jeremiah and the Psalmist made clear, God in His mercy has chosen us for His protection. He longs that we be in relationship with Him even though we made a mess of things. He has made a way.

An Honest Message
Peterson captures both the misery and beauty of Jeremiah and the life of faith. Following God is not all roses and outward success. Some of the messages of Jeremiah are hard to hear, but they are necessary to hear.
