I am reviewing a copy of A Burning in My Bones through WaterBrook & Multonomah:

Eugene H.Peterson had a lifelong hunger, a burning in his bones, he had a hunger for something radical.  His longing for God ignited a ferocity in his soul.

In A Burning In My Bones you will encounter the multifaceted life of one of the most influential and creative pastors of the past half century with unforgettable stories of Eugene’s lifelong devotion to his craft and love of language, the influences and experiences that shaped his unquenchable faith, the inspiration for his decision to translate The Message, and his success and struggles as a pastor, husband, and father. 

Author Winn Collier was given exclusive access to Eugene and his materials for the production of this landmark work. Drawing from his friendship and expansive view of Peterson’s life, Collier offers an intimate, beautiful, and earthy look into a remarkable life.
