Eugene Peterson's landmark Spiritual Theology series is foundational reading for the twenty-first century Church. The product of Peterson's many years' experience as both pastor and professor of the highest calibre, this series combines first-class scholarship and genuine, lived application. Beautifully written, its presents a fresh and urgent evaluation of contemporary Christian spirituality. 'St John walks up to the angel and say, "Give me the book."' writes Peterson. 'The angel hands it over, "Here it is; eat it, eat the book." And John does. He eats the book - not just reads it - he got it into his nerve endings, his reflexes, his imagination. The book he ate was Holy Scripture.' Eat This Book encourages the art of the reading the Bible so that it becomes a text for living and growing, not just thinking or behaving, and recasts the ancient discipline of lectio divina - spiritual reading - for a postmodern culture. Also available in the Spiritual Theology series: Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places, The Jesus Way, The Word Made Flesh and Practise Resurrection.

I love the fact that this book is able to show that what the angel told John to do with this book (Bible) was to eat it. When I eat something I take time to chew, savor, & digest. In this process I get nurtured and it becomes a part of me. I so want to enjoy the Word of God in that way, and I love to picture things, it always adds a dimension to my understading, so I appreciate that the author took such a short verse in the last book of the Bible to light up the path for me to visualize what God wants me to do with His Word.

For Thinking Christians
'Eat This Book' and the other two books in this series ('Christ Plays in 10,000 Places' & 'The Jesus Way') are books that challenge one to go deeper into his/her faith. The book is not a conventional "what to do" book but encourages the reader to live the Scriptural accounts and "be" a part of the story.
