Eugene Peterson's Influence on My Life
Thursday, June 11, 2015 at 7:14AM Eugene Peterson is often criticized in more conservative circles; something we seem excel in. But I love Eugene Peterson's books and he has had more influence on me than any other author.
Which books by Eugene Peterson, and I've read them all, have influenced me the most?
1. The "Conversations in Spiritual Theology" Series
Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places
Practice Resurrection plus A blog about and excerpt from Practice Resurrection
2. How to be a Pastor
Five Smooth Stones for Pastoral Work
3. Two Classics
A Long Obedience in the Same Direction
I don't read a lot of books a second time. These are so good and influential, I've read them all several times. In an evangelical world that is often more about appearances than reality, Peterson is a fresh breeze bringing challenge, encouragement and life.
