Summary

Living out the Word made flesh.  

"Sixty years ago I found myself distracted," Eugene Peterson writes. "A chasm had developed between the way I was preaching from the pulpit and my deepest convictions on what it meant to be a pastor." 

And so began Peterson's journey to live and teach a life of congruence - congruence between preaching and living, between what we do and the way we do it, between what is written in scripture and how we live out that truth. 

Nothing captures the biblical foundation for this journey better than Peterson's teachings over his 29 years as a pastor. As Kingfishers Catch Fire offers a never-before-published collection of these teachings to anyone longing for a richer, truer spirituality. 

Peterson's strikingly beautiful prose and deeply grounded insights usher us into a new understanding of how to live out the good news of the word made flesh. 

This is one man's compelling quest to discover not only how to be a pastor but how to be a human being.

Critic reviews

" As Kingfishers Catch Fire covers it all, the A to Z of Christian spirituality. It is filled with the kind of wisdom that can only come from long obedience in the same direction! It's more than a book; it's a gift. Thank you, Eugene!" (Mark Batterson, New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker and lead pastor of National Community Church, Washington, DC)

A true understanding of the god above & around us!

if anyone said Christian or church my spine would go to mush, that's how I see the world look at this area. this book teaches what God, Christ and the Sport of God are really about, I genuinely believe if Christ came today he would get treated the same as before, as ALL are welcome on this Journey, please come!
