This innovative devotional is designed to change how you interact with God’s Word.

We aspire to freedom but often resign ourselves to an existence trapped in uneasiness and dread. Is there any way to shed such heaviness and reignite hope for deliverance?

But his message doesn’t just reflect their cries for things to be made right; it reveals heaven’s perspective of the bigger picture.

"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."

Nothing captures the biblical foundation for this journey better than Peterson's teachings over his 29 years as a pastor.
