Synopsis

Learning to Live the Life You Long For

In Jeremiah 12:5 God says to the prophet, "If you're worn out in this footrace with men, what makes you think you can race against horses?"

We all long to live life at its best--to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do we often find our lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, full of activity, but still devoid of fulfillment? How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence--to run with the horses instead of shuffling along with the crowd?

In a series of profound reflections on the life of Jeremiah the prophet, Eugene Peterson explores the heart of what it means to be fully and genuinely human. In this special commemorative edition, you'll find:

• Peterson's invitation to grasp the biblical truth that each person's story of faith is completely original, in his signature pastoral style,
• Humor, self-reflection, insight, and wisdom that will help you set a course in the quest for life at its best, and
• A preface taken from Eric Peterson's homily at his father's memorial service.
