A Long Obedience in the Same Direction
Since Eugene Peterson first wrote this spiritual formation classic more than forty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been inspired by his prophetic and pastoral wisdom and the call to deeper discipleship found in the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120-134). Now including a bibliography of Peterson's works, this beloved book is available as part of the IVP Signature Collection.
