Winner of Christianity Today's 2011 award for best book in
spiritualityThough bringing people to new birth in Christ through
evangelism is essential, says Eugene Peterson, isn't growth in
Christ equally essential? Yet the American church by and large does
not treat Christian maturity and character formation with much
urgency.In Practice Resurrection Peterson brings the voice of
Scripture -- especially Paul's letter to the Ephesians -- and the
voice of the contemporary Christian congregation together to unpack
the crucial truth of what it means to fully grow up to the "stature
of Christ."

A way of sacrifice. A way of failure. A way on the margins. A way
of holiness. In The Jesus Way Eugene Peterson shows how the ways of
those who came before Christ - Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, and
Isaiah - revealed and prepared the way of the Lord that became
incarnate and complete in Jesus. Further, Peterson calls into
question common ways followed by the contemporary American church,
showing in stark relief how what we have chosen to focus on -
consumerism, celebrity, charisma, and so forth - obliterates what
is unique in the Jesus way.
Dallas Willard Center Book and Research Award Finalist Hearts Minds
Bookstore's Best Books of 2015, Spirituality and the Devotional
Life "This is a book written specifically for those of us who are
assigned the task of developing an imagination for living the
Christian faith with insight and skill in and for a society that is
disconnected from the biblical revelation and the Jesus
incarnation," writes Eugene Peterson in the foreword of The
Cultivated Life. "But it is equally useful for all of us who are
committed to following Jesus with our families and coworkers and
neighbors." Sociology professor and spiritual director Susan
Phillips walks us through the "circus" of our cultural landscape to
invite us into a cultivated life of spirituality. If we want to
accept the invitation to return to the garden, then we must face
down the temptation to live life as spectators of the circus that
plays on around us. We want to be rooted and grounded in Christ,
but are pushed toward constant work, alternating between
performance and spectacle. Cultivation requires a kind of
attentiveness that is countercultural to our age of distraction.
These pages unfold the spiritual practices that can lead us into a
new and delightful way of living. Are you ready to leave the
circus?
