In these never-before-published stories, sayings, and biblical teachings, the beloved author and translator of The Message Bible shows us how the wisdom of deep faith helps us live well.

Over the course of decades as a pastor, professor, and bestselling Christian author, Eugene H. Peterson drew life-changing spiritual insights from a rich well of his own down-to-earth life experience and his careful biblical study. While many of us are familiar with Peterson's bestselling paraphrased Bible translation, The Message, or his books for pastors, most of us have never had the chance to encounter his direct pastoral wisdom on many of the key topics of everyday life.

On Living Well collects gems of Peterson's wisdom, focusing where faith meets the joy and rigour of daily life, including on the topics of generosity, community, relationships, worship, and inner peace.

Ideal as a daily spiritual touchpoint or simply to nourish a heart hungry for the warm wisdom of a true pastor, this book is a rich feast for the soul, encouraging the meaningful simplicity of human life well-lived for Jesus in a world of both beauty and difficulty.

DEEP FELT NEED: Never-before-seen practical wisdom that speaks directly to many key issues of daily life including money, time, relationships, and community.

FRESH PRESENTATION OF CLASSIC AUTHOR Best known for his iconic Bible translation The Message and his poignant spiritual writing, these never-before-published pieces convey Peterson's lifetime of wisdom through their insightful and accessible reflections.

APPEAL FOR YOUNGER GENERATIONS: Offering clear insights to fuel a well-lived human life with faithful Christian wisdom to cut through our noisy world and become grounded.

GIFT-WORTHY PRESENTATION AND CONTENT: Beautifully designed and attractive jacketed hardcover. Suitable for graduations, birthdays, or other milestones.
