Lamenting the vacuous, often pagan nature of contemporary American spirituality, Eugene Peterson here firmly grounds spirituality once more in Trinitarian theology and offers a clear, practical statement of what it means to actually \u003ci\u003elive out\u003c\/i\u003e the Christian life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWriting in the conversational style that he is well known for, Peterson boldly sweeps out the misunderstandings that clutter conversations on spiritual theology and refurnishes the subject only with what is essential. As Peterson shows, spiritual theology, in order to be at once biblical and meaningful, must remain sensitive to ordinary life, present the Christian gospel, follow the narrative of Scripture, and be rooted in the \"fear of the Lord\" -- in short, spiritual theology must be about \u003ci\u003eGod\u003c\/i\u003e and not about \u003ci\u003eus.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe foundational book in a five-volume series on spiritual theology emerging from Peterson's pen, \u003ci\u003eChrist Plays in Ten Thousand Places\u003c\/i\u003e provides the conceptual and directional help we all need to live the Christian gospel well and maturely in the conditions that prevail in the church and world today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeterson, Eugene H.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEugene H.
