If anything, email and the Internet may have intensified our quest for the quick fix. But Peterson's time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the same--a long obedience in the same direction.Tucked away in the Hebrew Psalter, Peterson discovered "an old dog-eared songbook," the Songs of Ascents that were sung by pilgrims on their way up to worship in Jerusalem. In these songs (Psalms 120-134) Peterson finds encouragement for modern pilgrims as we learn to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community and blessing.This 20th anniversary edition of <EM>A Long Obedience in the Same Direction</EM> features these Psalms in Peterson's widely acclaimed paraphrase, <EM>The Message.</EM> He also includes an epilogue in which he reflects on the themes of this book and his ministry during the twenty years since its original publication. 565927 7 2000 A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society total:205|5:74|4:79|3:43|2:9|1:0| 205 833 322 38 5 1 false false Mon Jan 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jun 13 15:15:20 -0700 2008 Mon Jan 05 17:33:48 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 true false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 28 19:24:35 -0800 2007 Sat Jan 26 17:35:09 -0800 2008 A ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 15:36:32 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 15:37:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Wed Jan 28 07:40:16 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 07:40:34 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue May 05 14:38:42 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 14:54:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat May 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 04:51:33 -0700 2009 Sat May 23 18:17:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 true false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Jun 07 11:44:43 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 07 11:49:00 -0700 2007 May you find inlightenment of the Love of Jesus and a Fam...more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jan 27 10:38:44 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 10:39:18 -0800 2009 3 1 false false Wed Dec 10 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 06:48:21 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 06:50:21 -0800 2008 1 0 0 false false Sat Feb 28 21:05:15 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 21:19:04 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Oct 06 11:43:55 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 11:44:50 -0700 2009 4 0 true false Mon Oct 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 19:42:58 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 09:24:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Apr 06 20:48:34 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 20:50:03 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 18:00:27 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 18:01:27 -0700 2009 2 0 true false Sun Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 12 10:10:29 -0700 2007 Mon Apr 21 08:42:06 -0700 2008
