Using the Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120–134) as his map, Eugene Peterson takes readers on the journey of faith, beginning with a “turning” (repentance) and ending with a “blessing.” The journey of discipleship for which Peterson advocates is a “long” and persistent one, but is well worth the trip. I enjoyed Peterson’s other book on the Psalms—[b:Answering God: The Psalms as Tools for Prayer|240336|Answering God The Psalms as Tools for Prayer|Eugene H.

Still, anyone who is a fan of Peterson should read this book—it is classic Peterson.
