For a book about the way of Jesus, Peterson takes an unusual path. Most of the book is about several Old Testament characters, each as an (imperfect) example of a certain way to walk in God, all of them pointing toward Jesus, who would be the perfect model of the way in which we should walk. He finishes with six negative examples (Herod, the Zealots, Josephus, etc.) who show the way to walk after the world and why walking in Jesus can never be about power or wealth or religious purity.

Worth the price of the book alone is the introductory chapter which takes on the ways we have read the story of Jesus with rose-colored glasses. Particularly not to be missed is the section on the power of metaphor in the Bible.]]>
