A collection of Bible verses and meditations offering wisdom, inspiration, and enlightenment in your daily life.
For more than thirty-five years, beloved author, professor, and pastor Eugene Peterson has used his expertise in the original language of the Bible and his passion for God's word to re-create the informal, earthy immediacy of Scripture in expressive, contemporary English. Just as the writers of the New Testament used everyday language to convey God's message to their readers and listeners, Peterson's conversational translations and graceful insights into Christian life speak powerfully to the concerns of today's men and women and offer timeless wisdom for every day of the year.
“Eugene Peterson is . . . a profound and authoritative exponent of mature spiritual life as the Bible depicts it. Living the Message sets before us much of his piercing wisdom for our own very great benefit.” —J. I. Packer, author of Knowing God
