How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence-to run with the horses and live life at its best? In a series of profound reflections on the life of Jeremiah the prophet, Eugene Peterson explores the heart of what it means to be fully and genuinely human. This commemorative edition includes a preface from Peterson's son.
Eugene H. Peterson (1932-2018) was a pastor, scholar, author, and poet. He wrote more than thirty books, including his widely acclaimed paraphrase of the Bible, The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language; his memoir, The Pastor; and the bestselling spiritual formation classic A Long Obedience in the Same Direction.

“If we are going to live appropriately, we must be aware that we are living in the middle of a story that was begun and will be concluded by another. And this other is God.” — Run with the Horses: The Quest for Life at Its Best by Eugene H. Peterson https://t.co/bP1SCL7kpk

“The aim of the person of faith is . . . to live as deeply and thoroughly as possible—to deal with the reality of life, discover truth, create beauty, act out love.” (Eugene H. Peterson, RUN WITH THE HORSES).

"In the last few years, Eugene's writing has kept me sane. Run with the Horses has been a powerful manual for me. It includes a lot of incendiary ideas. I hadn't really thought of Jeremiah as a performance artist. Why do we need art? Because if we're honest the only way that we can approach God is through metaphor, through symbol. Through Run with the Horses I learned about the prophet's work and it really changed me."
