Eugene Peterson was quite concerned about the language we use between Sundays. He strived for a continuity of language between the words we use in Bible studies and the words we use when we are out hiking, at work, or eating dinner with family. He illustrated this passion in his writings and weekly sermons. A Month of Sundays is a devotional collection featuring excerpts of Eugene's Sunday sermons arranged into thoughtful readings for every day of the month, drawn from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

But we can make choices on where we look that can give us a more accurate picture and bring hope.

Com seu estilo acolhedor e sua mensagem clara, Peterson reexamina as narrativas da ressurreição presentes nos Evangelhos e sugere disciplinas espirituais capazes de revigorar a fé, independentemente das circunstâncias em que estejamos inseridos.
