"'This book is the story of my formation as a pastor, and how the vocation of pastor formed me. I had never planned to be a pastor, never was aware of any inclination to be a pastor, never 'knew what I was going to be when I grew up.' And then--at the time it seemed to arrive abruptly--there it was: Pastor. I can't imagine now not being a pastor.

In fact, the same language is used to talk to each other and to talk to God. Can everyday speech, then, be just as important as the words and prayers we hear from the pulpit? Eugene Peterson unequivocally says, 'Yes!' Tell It Slant explores how Jesus used language: he was earthy, not abstract; metaphorical, not dogmatic. His...

Spiritual reading has fallen on bad times. Today, reading is largely a consumer activity, done for information that may fuel ambitions or careers - and the faster the better. Take and Read represents Eugene H. Peterson's attempt to rekindle the activity of spiritual reading, reading that considers any book that comes to hand in a spiritual way, tuned to the Spirit, alert to intimations of God.
