A Long Obedience in the Same Direction

by Eugene Peterson
Finished reading a spiritual book called A Long Obedience in the Same Direction,
by Eugene Peterson. The author draws
upon readings from the Bible, mainly the Psalms, to connect to various values
that he believes makes for a better Christian.
Some of the values include: Discipleship; Service; Joy; Humility;
Obedience; and Blessing. Each chapter
draws from the reading and then applies to each of the other chapters to
explain the importance of each value.
The lessons shared offer an insight into being saved from the evils within
our society, as per the author. The book
is clearly for those who believe in a Christian perspective and may not be for
everyone. The sixteen chapters are only
about ten pages each and provide lessons & real-life experiences that
attempt to validate the “WHY” in being a better person. This is a relatively quick read and probably
could serve as a daily reflective tool in making a better connection to your
spiritual side, if so inclined.
