In this 3-day devotional, Eugene Peterson, the pastor-poet behind The Message Bible, imparts a glimpse of his compelling quest to discover not only how to be a pastor but how to be a human being.

Of all the apostles, Paul’s conversion/calling story was arguably the most notable and miraculous, his assignment to take the Gospel to the Gentiles the most unique, and the tangible results of his obedience the most impressive by human standards. Even so, Paul did not operate as a lone wolf, set apart from the pack and self-sufficient. On the contrary, this hero of the Christian faith understood the essential role his brothers and sisters played in his life and stayed connected to them even when his assignment to preach and live truth called him away for long stretches of time. 

To grow in knowledge of the one we have believed in, Christ, develop intimacy with the Father. Through time alone with God, we as His children are capable of doing so productively. This devotional will guide you in how to interact adequately with the heavenly Father.
