Description
Spiritual reading has fallen out of favour in recent years. Today, people tend to read for information that fuels their ambitions or careers, and they often do so quickly. Eugene H. Peterson's "Take and Read" aims to revive the practice of spiritual reading, where readers consider any book as a spiritual resource, attuned to the Spirit and sensitive to God's presence. In this annotated list, Peterson shares his own insights into books that have stood the test of time and are spiritually formative in the Christian life. The selection ranges from traditional spiritual classics to novels, poems, and mysteries, covering a broad spectrum of authors including Augustine, C.S. Lewis, William Faulkner, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Each entry is accompanied by Peterson's thoughtful annotations, offering readers a deeper understanding of the power and significance of each work.
