Peterson finds encouragement for today's pilgrims in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134), sung by travelers on their way to worship in Jerusalem. With prophetic and pastoral wisdom, Peterson shows how the psalms teach us to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community, blessing, and more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis commemorative edition features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea preface from Leif Peterson's eulogy at his father's memorial service, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea bibliography of Eugene Peterson's works, and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe option to pair with the companion Bible study guide, \u003ci\u003eA Long Obedience in the Same Direction Bible Study\u003c\/i\u003e, for a deeper experience. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Eugene Peterson's special gift is to stand beside us and keep our feet on the ground as he lifts our hearts to God and our minds to godliness. \u003ci\u003eA Long Obedience in the Same Direction\u003c\/i\u003e, which does this stunningly well, is also the best pathway into the Psalter you are likely to find.
