"Deep, stirring, luminous, even profound -- if you are going to
read one book about reading Scripture, it should be this one."
Gerald Sittser
-- author of A Grace Disguised
"Eugene Peterson has written a magnificent book about how to read
the Bible. As any editor would say, a book must 'show, ' not just
'tell.' Peterson's book does exactly that. The book itself has a
biblical quality to it. Peterson uses vivid language; he tells and
then reflects on wonderful stories; he invites readers to read
their own stories in light of the story. This book is the
fruit of decades of reading, pondering, conversing about, praying
over, and living this story. Peterson encourages us to read the
Bible as if we were dogs gnawing on a bone. Eat This Book
made me lick my chops." Church & Synagogue Libraries
"Peterson explores the ancient discipline of lectio divina
and how its elements of reading, meditating, praying, and living
can help us receive Scripture as 'formative for the way we live our
lives, not merely making an impression on our minds or feelings. '
. . . Recommended." Publishers Weekly
"Peterson's exposition of lectio divina is one of the fullest to
appear in recent years. . . A worthy sequel to his 2004 hit
Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places."
