A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship In An Instant Society

This is the book that we will be encountering and digesting together.  Our discussions will be intentionally inter-generational and hopefully honest and thought-provoking.  The goal of this study is not to learn new faith-based information, but to grow spiritually and to be encouraged to begin, or continue, on the path of becoming living, breathing disciples/students of Jesus Christ.

For those of you who don't know, Eugene Peterson is the author of The Message translation of the Bible.  Click on either of these links to get a feel for the author...

Please invite friends, neighbors, grandkids, children to participate as they are able through this blog!

Lydia Palmer will be guiding our online group through the ideas presented in this book.  I am personally looking forward to growing in faithfulness to God as we journey together.
