From the translator of The Message, a definitive collection of teachings on the Christian life and how Scripture informs our relationship with Christ. Sixty years ago I found myself distracted. So begins the introduction to Eugene Peterson’s As Kingfishers Catch Fire. What follows is the record of one man’s decision to find not only how to be a pastor, but how to be a human being, a discovery made in the pages of Scripture and in the lives of his congregation. This collection of spiritual writings presents Peterson’s distinctive approach designed to communicate to his congregation, and the reader, the full counsel of God. Seven sections containing seven teachings, each expertly crafted to stir the biblical imagination.
