Short review: I love Eugene Peterson. I think he is a voice to this generation that is unmatched in its sense of understanding of scripture of a story that is intended to speak to the average person. This is his memoir of how he became a pastor and what he learned about being a pastor. He was a pastor of one church that he started for 29 years before he retired to work full time on the Message Bible. I have read a lot of books about being a pastor, my whole family is basically pastors, but this is the best book on being a pastor. If we could recover pastor as a role in the way that Peterson writes about it, the church would be very different. full review at my new blog site http://bookwi.se/the-pastor-a-memoir-... I have read it a second time on audiobook. The second review is http://bookwi.se/pastor-peterson-audi... My third reading review http://bookwi.se/the-pastor-a-memoir-...

I read this book last year and from what I can remember it was a very inspiring book. John is like many, I have not doubt, in the the national spot light unconditionally required to hide his sexuality. Great book.

this one surprised me...that I would be able to get into fiction and not deconstruct it in some way is very rare for me... I am lost in this book and I have yet to finish it because there is so much meaning in the story for me... I know not everyone would jive with Berg's writing, but for someone reason this book I 'get'. ...update: re-reading again...losing myself in the feelings it brings up.

This is a quick read. If I had two or three straight hours to devote to just reading this then I would have. However, it is not heavy on subject - it's all pretty simple. No cliffhangers here. This is one I would recommend as an easy reader for a teen.
