If anything, email and the Internet may have intensified our quest for the quick fix. But Peterson's time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the same -- a long obedience in the same direction. Tucked away in the Hebrew Psalter, Peterson discovered `an old dog-eared songbook,` the Songs of Ascents that were sung by pilgrims on their way up to worship in Jerusalem. In these songs (Psalms 120-134) Peterson finds encouragement for modern pilgrims as we learn to grow in worship, service, joy, work, happiness, humility, community and blessing.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Eugene H.
