About this listen

 "If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses?" Jeremiah 12:5

We all long to live life at its best-to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do we often find our lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, so full of activity, but still devoid of fulfillment? How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence-to run with the horses in the jungle of life?

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. His writing is filled with humor and self-reflection, insight and wisdom, helping to set a course for others n the quest for life at its best.

Excellent life changing book

Pointed me to Jesus, listened over and over. Good to listen through once and then dive into for reminders and fresh life giving inspiration. Best book I listened to this year.

A life giving book

The difficult Biblical book of Jeremiah brought to life, clarity, relevance and Christian challenge.
Narration good, BUT the whole Audible recording is split into sections of well over an hour with no regard for the original chapter titles. This makes it difficult to navigate, to dip in and out, or to locate a particular chapter. A shame.

Excellent, but...

An incredibly well thought out book, I feel like I have did a study through Jeremiah with how much scripture was used throughout the book. Each chapter begins with reading from Jeremiah, before a very relevant quote is attached and then the author proceeds to explain his thoughts and interpretations, finally the reader is left to apply this to their life today, rarely is anything pushed on you.
A difficult read/listen in that what is being said is often very profound and so if your mind drifts for a second you’ll have missed something.

Thoughtful and testing

I listen to this book within 24h! I just couldn't put it down - captivated by the vivid exposition into the life of Jeremiah. For what is worth, the audio was well-read.

captivating!
