In Jeremiah 125 God says to the prophet, "If you're worn out in this footrace with men, what makes you think you can race against horses?"
We all long to live life at its best―to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do we often find our lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, so full of activity, but still devoid of fulfillment? How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence―to run with the horses instead of shuffling along with the crowd?
In a series of profound reflections on the life of Jeremiah the prophet, Eugene Peterson explores the heart of what it means to be fully and genuinely human. In his signature pastoral style, he invites readers to grasp the biblical truth that each person's story of faith is completely original. Peterson's writing is filled with humor and self-reflection, insight and wisdom, helping to set a course for others in the quest for life at its best.
This special commemorative edition includes a new preface taken from Eric Peterson's homily at his father's memorial service, as well as a six-session Bible study guide for individuals or groups.

"Both The Message Bible, a very modern American English translation, by Eugene Petersonand A Long Obedience in the Same Direction absolutely changed my life this summer. I really loved this book as well but I’m going to give it another go down the road. I almost always find something quite profound in every paragraph I read of his. In reading just those two books of his so far he really speaks to the reader about daily obedience of scripture but in a very alive and relational way with God the Father and not as some sort of silly legalistic rules. He’s very upfront that we will fail and doubt but we must continue on a daily routine in f repentance and seeking matter what. He helped to mature so quickly in such a short period of time that my mother was nothing short of astounded."

Run with the Horses The Quest for Life at Its Best edition by Eugene H Peterson Eric E Peterson Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
- There’s much about Eugene Peterson’s work that gives me pause, namely “The Message" as he tried to put the Bible in contemporary jargon. Changing “give us this day our daily bread†to “keep us alive with three square meals†is not an improvement. I went into “Run With the Horses†with reservations to say the least. This book far exceeded my expectations, even if some of Peterson’s translation of the Bible underwhelm. Peterson understands Jeremiah and shows readers how his life and prophecies apply to the modern world. This is a fascinating and relatable book and Peterson is an engaging writer as he shows how following Jeremiah can offer a guide on on how to live life. There are some powerful lessons here and even those of us with reservations about some of Peterson’s work--including yours truly--will profit from reading this book. Highly recommended.
- Eugene Peterson exceeded all my expectations with this book. Perhaps there is a bias here, in that Jeremiah is one of my favourite books. What "Run with the Horses" does, is that it makes what Jeremiah writes absolutely relevant to life in the world today, and forces you to confront the way you think about what "abundant life" really is and his analysis of the field of Anathoth sorted out for me, what had once been, a total enigma.
Everyone will have their favourite revelation moment, but for me, his discussion on page132 of the weight that crowds carry and how true it is, that the more people, the less truth, and that integrity is never strengthened by multiplication.
That holds true in every aspect of life. Just because "the Joneses" do something, doesn't mean it's right, or that we should follow suit to be "up with" them...
This book will make you re-evaluate your ethics and your morality in a way that only Jeremiah could put it, through the modern analysis of one of today's most astute biblical scholars. - I'm 1/3 the way through this book. A normal, careful, read usually takes me a month or two (with generous notes/ideas/questions/research included). This one may take me 4-5 months. On pace to match, or exceed, Leap Over a Wall. Amazing, "stand-alone" sentences that can hold you for 20-30 minutes. Very readable, it's layers of thoughts remind me of C.S. Lewis in revelation of concepts, but much easier to understand on the first reading. Amazing insights - the fact that this book was written so many years ago, but speaks to our culture is a testament of Peterson's understanding of Scripture and culture.

- I am reading this book with a group seasoned business people. The world is getting more and more difficult. The unreasonably demand on speed and low cost production, cut throat competition and unfair practices are squeezing our desire and passion to stay in business. Pastor Pete reminded us to stay focus on and draw power from God who called all of us to remain and strive even for excellence in this pace. We are challenged to Run With The Horses by the Grace of God.
- If you struggle to make sense out of life, this book will help clarify things. The author uses the life of Jeremiah as a model of how to live an integrated, God-dependent life, in the midst of difficult and confusing circumstances. Very relevant to our present-day society though penned over thirty years ago. Referenced by Bono in his youtube interview with Eugene Peterson.
- Read it 3 times and use as a devotional. Well written and easy to understand. Have made several recommendations. Jer125 is one of my favorite scriptures and I use it to develop perseverance when I go through tough times. What I realized in reading this book is that it's not just to endure challenges but it's a call or quest to live life at its best. Love it!
- Run with the Horses was an engaging and encouraging look at the life of Jeremiah. Eugene Peterson did an excellent job of opening up the life of Jeremiah and exploring the major themes found there. Prior to reading this book my only exposure to Mr. Peterson was through the Message Bible. I was inspired to look into his other writings after watching his short video with Bono where they discussed the Psalms.
