This is a bold book. It has to do with changing the life of American society, from the inside out, through "source action" of prayer. "I have written a book for Christians," says Eugene Peterson, "who want to do something about what is wrong with America and want to plunge into the center, not tinker at the edge. I have chosen eleven psalms that shaped the politics of Israel and can shape the politics of America, and I have taken them seriously...I have written to encourage Christians to pray them both as children of God with eternal destinies and as American citizens with daily responsibilities in caring for our nation." Peterson is concerned with the "unselfing" of our selfpreoccupied, selfbound society through the action of praying together with other believers. He offers insightful, thoughtprovoking reflections on eleven select psalmprayers that can help us overcome such things as selfcenteredness, selfassertiveness, selfrighteousness, selfsufficiency, selfpity, selfservice, and selflove. Originally published under the title Earth and Altar and now being reprinted for wider distribution,Where Your Treasure Is provides solid fare for any thoughtful, concerned Christian. But the book is especially suitable for group study and discussion what Peterson writes here will serve to stir small groups of Christians to pointed reflection and prayeraction.
