{"product_id":"a-long-obedience-in-the-same-direction","title":"A Long Obedience in the Same Direction","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince Eugene Peterson first wrote this spiritual formation classic nearly forty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been inspired by its call to deeper discipleship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a society, we are still obsessed with the immediate; new technologies have only intensified our quest for the quick fix. But Peterson's time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the same - a long obedience in the same direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing Jesus in this way requires a deepening life of prayer, and throughout history Christians have learned to pray from the Psalms. Peterson finds encouragement for today's pilgrims in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134), sung by travellers on their way to worship in Jerusalem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith his prophetic and pastoral wisdom, Peterson shows how the psalms teach us to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community, and blessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis special commemorative edition of A Long Obedience in the Same Direction includes a new preface taken from Leif Peterson's eulogy at his father's memorial service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eugene H.
