Like many other readers, I am a person in development. For many decades, I have been working through my faith and spirituality and attempting to find ways to make my life meaningful. This is a useful guide for reflection and thinking about what it means to be a disciple in an always-changing society with many demands. I recommend this book is a devotional text and one that might be used for Bible studies.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. This is my honest review.
I thought this book was written very well. I loved how each chapter took a book in Psalm starting from 120 and going to 134. Mr. Peterson shared how we can live an obedient life for God by daily living a life that honors Him. Each Psalm had a different characteristic that would lead you along the road to obedience. This book was written beautifully and gave such encouragement for our walk with Christ.

One of the best books about discipleship, period. If I could make every Christian study this slowly, I would.

I love Eugene Peterson’s writing. I have my own copy of The Message Bible and will sometimes compare it to my regular ESV one. I’m originally from California so I like the straight forward approach to things and I felt like this was a commentary of sorts. The book is about the Psalms, chapters 120 through chapter 134.
This would be a good bible study because it’s written for such a time as this.
I thought it helpful and encouraging.
Thanks InterVarsity Press via NetGalley.

I read this book for three times and I still found that it is really good book to start spiritual formation in our life as a Christion. Eugene Peterson remind us that obedience is not an instant way, but a very very long way, but we do it with other people in the same direction towards eternity. Hopefully, you can get benefit from this book, too.
