" A deep, thought provoking, and personally challenging read. Not just a fun, lighthearted read, but very introspective. Worth the time and processing. "

" Peterson is my new favorite. This study on the prophet Jeremiah is a course book for all who attempt to teach God's word. The minute I finished, I knew I needed to read it again. "

" As usual with Peterson's books, I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful statements of truth in this book. Like Lewis, Peterson is great with metaphors and helps me visualize the backdrops of Scriptural passages. This book draws from the life of the prophet Jeremiah, and after reading it I feel like I have a better grip on Jeremiah's world. And there are lots of connection points to our world -- Peterson is so good at highlighting those! This book was absolutely worth reading and I shall, undoubtedly, return to it in the future. "

" Amazing. I'm going to have to read more of Peterson's work, because this was such an invigorating view of a prophet I haven't spent much time learning about previously. Not only did this book give a lot of information and detail, but Peterson has a gift for making it relevant to one's own life, which is an integral part of religion! "

Luke Brown | 8/8/2013
" I would give this a 7 if possible. Truly enjoyable insights from Jeremiah. One of the most enjoyable Peterson books I've read and may use it for a sermon series. Takes various happenings in Jeremiah and explains why they are important for us. Very fine book. "

" i have read this book twice. even though he wrote this like 20 years ago, he still has a lot of relevant stuff to say to people today. book is based on the book of jeremiah. "

Charlie | 11/3/2012
" This was more-or-less a series of sermons on Jeremiah. The sermons were kind of lightweight and, thus, easy to read through. Not real memorable, though. "

Nicole | 10/13/2012
" Interesting take on the life of Jeremiah. I didn't find it quite as compelling as the other books by Petersen that I have read/am reading, but well worth reading. "
-




Lori | 9/1/2012
" One of the best books ever for me - fiction or non-fiction. Eugene Peterson writes about the prophet Jeremiah and what made him successful and how we can use those same lessons to make our lives successful. Really makes the book of Jeremiah understandable and enlightening. I'll read this one again. "
