I'm excited because I just got the new Eugene Peterson book called Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places. I can't wait to dig into it. Here's a quote that jumped out at me from the Preface -
"Writing about the Christian life (formulated here as "spiritual theology") is like trying to paint a picture of a bird in flight. The very nature of a subject in which everything is always in motion - the rhythm of wings, sun-tinted feathers, drift of clouds (and much more) - precludes precision. Which is why definitions and explanations for the most part miss the very thing that we are interested in. Stories and metaphors, poetry adn prayer, and leisurely conversation are more congenial to the subject, a conversation that necessarily also includs the Other."
