As Kingfishers Catch Fire: A Conversation on the Ways of God Formed by the Words of God
Living Out the Word Made Flesh<br /> <br />“Sixty years ago I found myself distracted,” Eugene Peterson wrote. “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.”<br /> <br />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.<br /> <br />Nothing captures the biblical foundation for this journey better than Peterson’s teachings over his twenty-nine years as a pastor. As Kingfishers Catch Fire offers a collection of these teachings to anyone longing for a richer, truer spirituality.<br /> <br />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. <br /><br />This is one man’s compelling quest to discover not only how to be a pastor but how to be a human being.
