Traveling Light: Modern Meditations on St. Paul's Letter of Freedom

For a culture so awash in fantasies of freedom we are conspicuously lacking in the experience of freedom. In "Traveling Light " Eugene H. Peterson who is translator of "The Message Bible " explores the free life in Christ that we must both receive as a gift and practice as a skill. In an engaging often passionate dialogue in which Pauls letter to the Galatians faces off against the crises of modern life he offers both encouragement and challenge to men and women trapped in the anxieties and determinism of our age. Eugene H. Peterson was pastor of Christ Our King United Presbyterian Church in Bel Air Maryland for nearly three decades then served as professor of spirituality theology at Regent College Vancouver BC. Dr. Peterson is translator of "The Message" and author of numerous other works among them "A Long Obedience in the Same Direction" and "Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places." "Like a skilled eye doctor Eugene Peterson turns the lens that clears our vision and enables us to discriminate between reality and fantasy to see what satisfies and what leads to bondage." -- Rebecca Pippert
