A trilogy combining three popular books, The Gift, The Journey, and The Quest in one volume. Life at Its Best combines the full contents of Eugene Peterson's three previous books, all of which display his accessible approach to challenging subject matter and his inspirational outlook on the Christian life. THE GIFT: In this deceptively simple, extraordinarily powerful book Peterson cuts through the social and religious conventions that have attached themselves to our understanding of Christian ministry and speaks words of wisdom and encouragement to those caught up in the busyness of church life. THE JOURNEY: The pilgrim life leads us to God, but it goes against the stream of the world's hurried ways; we need to look elsewhere for encouragement and sustenance on the journey. Peterson explores the 15 psalms, known as the Song of Ascent, used by Hebrew pilgrims as they journeyed to Jerusalem for the great worship festivals. THE QUEST: Peterson uses the book of Jeremiah to inspire a wide-ranging analysis of the human spiritual condition. For those who choose to live courageously rather than cautiously, The Quest paints a vivid picture of a practical and authentic spirituality for everyday living.

Living the Message: Daily Help For Living the God-Centered Life

As Eugene Peterson was writing The Message, his magnificent and popular translation of the Bible, he wanted readers to understand that forty years of living the message preceded the writing of it. The result is Living the Message, a unique daily reader that combines scriptural verses with Peterson's classic writings on the spiritual life.
 Here readers are offered a daily spiritual companion that brings God's message vividly to life. With a new foreword by the author, this classic devotional presents readers with the tools and insights they need to go beyond an ordinary faith. Peterson draws on his profound reflections on the Bible, prayer, and community to usher the reader on a path of discovering the relevancy of God's word to our everyday lives.
 From the author of nearly thirty books, Peterson's Living the Message weaves together insightful selections from some of his best works to produce a volume full of wisdom and hope. Reading this collection will endow your spiritual life with a new urgency and desire to live out your faith more fully.
