Symphony of Salvation

What wonders are contained in Scripture? In Symphony of Salvation, Eugene H. Peterson leads you on a 60-day devotional journey through the books of the Bible.

Soak in Scripture

As the translator of The Message and as a pastor for nearly 30 years, Peterson paints a vivid and warm portrait of the Bible. This book is a devotional, but it looks and reads like a glossy magazine and a small coffee-table book. With full-color photography and striking typography, this is one that will keep you coming back for more.

The theology and Biblical themes take priority in giving an overview of sacred Scripture. As the introduction mentions, they aren’t meant to be studied — but soaked in. The book is divided into five sections: (1) Anticipation (Gen-Deut), (2) Personal (Joshua - Esther), (3) Wisdom (Job - Malachi), (4) Reimagined (Matthew - Acts), and (5) Living (Romans - Revelation).

Behold Wondrous Things from God’s Word

What I enjoyed most were the “Verse-To-Remember” features for each book. They provide you a verse that you can meditate on throughout your day. You will get a glimpse of God, a window into the Biblical world, and a feel for how to live the Christian life. 

Read this book as devotional material or as a casual way to creatively get more of God and his Word in your life. The Bible is a big book, but it is one that will bless you for a lifetime. Open the eyes of your heart and behold wondrous things from God’s Word.
