“We have short attention spans. Having been introduced to God, we soon lose interest in God and become preoccupied with ourselves. Self expands and soul atrophies. Psychology trumps theology. … [And this] usually adds up to a workable life … But — it is not the practice of resurrection, it is not growing up in Christ, it is not living in the company of the Trinity, it is not living out of our beginnings, our begettings.”
-Eugene Peterson in Practicing Resurrection

GREAT quote by Peterson. I’ve read a few of his works [A Long Obedience in the Same Direction, Leap Over A Wall, etc] and find his writings so captivating.
His style of writing brings you right in and holds you there.
Excellent. Thanks.
