“Eugene Peterson’s writing is always refreshing.

Because it is the language of the pastor, the language of the preacher.

This book is about ‘redeemed time’ in the ‘light of eternity’.
“It is a precious gift that gives us life.”

“Life becomes a mystery when we become aware of the light of heaven that dwells in every moment of our daily lives.”

Like any good writer, a good preacher is an artist who paints pictures with words.
While the artist paints on the surface of still 'space' (empty paper), the preacher paints on the surface of flowing 'time'.
Over hours, days, and years, we reimagine songs and stories about the eternal Word.
The calling of a preacher is not to be a skilled person, but to be a pilgrim.
It is not about being smart and speaking fluently that comes first, but about being truthful and wise in love.

This book, "Light on the Road, Jesus Christ," is a collection of Eugene Peterson's works of art.
It contains unpublished seasonal sermons from among the famous sermons he delivered during his approximately 30 years as a pastor.
A total of 41 sermons are included, starting from Advent, through Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, and throughout the year when there are no special holidays, according to the traditional Christian church calendar.

This book invites both preachers and believers to a feast of the Word, where they discover the mystery of God embedded in everyday life.
Eugene Peterson's unique, rich language and deep spiritual insights from his meditations on the Word are delivered concisely and persuasively.
The uniqueness of the Christian gospel is that Jesus accepts me right where I am and creates a new story with the materials of my life.
How blessed and beautiful is the life of following Christ, who came as light on the path, and writing a new story in the created world.
