Run with the Horses: The Quest for Life at Its Best

In Jeremiah 12:5 God says to the prophet "If youre worn out in this footrace with men what makes you think you can race against horses?" We all long to live life at its bestto fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do we often find our lives so humdrum so unadventuresome so routine? Or else so frantic so full of activity but still devoid of fulfillment? How do we learn to risk to trust to pursue wholeness and excellenceto run with the horses instead of shuffling along with the crowd? In a series of profound reflections on the life of Jeremiah the prophet Eugene Peterson explores the heart of what it means to be fully and genuinely human. In his signature pastoral style he invites readers to grasp the biblical truth that each persons story of faith is completely original. Petersons writing is filled with humor and self-reflection insight and wisdom helping to set a course for others in the quest for life at its best. This special commemorative edition includes a new preface taken from Eric Petersons homily at his fathers memorial service as well as a six-session Bible study guide for individuals or groups.
