The Invitation by Eugene H. Peterson is just that, an invitation. This book is an invitation to not only read the Bible but to glean from it the priceless treasures that lie within. Peterson hopes that this book will not only be a companion for Bible study but will draw the reader into wanting to know more about not only Scripture but the Author of Scripture.
Eugene H. Peterson is a writer, poet, and retired pastor. His interpretation of the Bible, The Message, is a great devotional resource for any new or seasoned Christian. The Invitation is the collection of book introductions from The Message.
