Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places
A Conversation in Spiritual Theology
by Eugene H. Peterson
read by Grover Gardner
Part 1 of the Spiritual Theology series
Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places reunites spirituality and theology in a cultural context where these two vital facets of Christian faith have been torn asunder. As Peterson shows, spiritual theology, in order to be at once biblical and meaningful, must remain sensitive to ordinary life, present the Christian gospel, follow the narrative of Scripture, and be rooted in the 'fear of the Lord'; in short, spiritual theology must be about God and not about people. In this first book in a five-volume series on spiritual theology, Eugene Peterson firmly grounds spirituality once more in Trinitarian theology and offers a clear, practical statement of what it means to actually live out the Christian life.

Eat This Book
A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading
by Eugene H. Peterson
read by Grover Gardner
Part 2 of the Spiritual Theology series
The second part of Peterson's momentous five-volume work on spiritual theology, Eat This Book challenges Christians to read the Scriptures on Scriptures' terms, as God's revelation, and to live them as they read them. With warmth and wisdom Peterson offers greatly needed, down-to-earth counsel on spiritual reading. In these pages he draws listeners into a fascinating conversation on the nature of language, the ancient practice of lectio divina (Divine Reading), and the role of Scripture translations; included here is the 'inside story' behind Peterson's own popular Bible translation, The Message. Countering the widespread practice of using the Bible for self-serving purposes, Peterson here serves listeners with a nourishing entrée into the formative, life-changing art of spiritual reading.

The Jesus Way
A Conversation on the Ways that Jesus is the Way
by Eugene H. Peterson
read by Grover Gardner
Part 3 of the Spiritual Theology series
The Jesus Way is part of Eugene Peterson's meaty 'conversations' on spiritual theology. A way of sacrifice. A way of failure. A way on the margins. A way of holiness. In The Jesus Way, Eugene Peterson shows how the ways of those who came before Christ: Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, and Isaiah; revealed and prepared the 'way of the Lord' that became incarnate and complete in Jesus. Further, Peterson calls into question common ways followed by the contemporary American church, showing in stark relief how what has been chosen to focus on: consumerism, celebrity, charisma, and so forth; obliterates what is unique in the Jesus way.
