Infrequently we read books that read us; books that dig into our spiritual depths and irrigate our hearts. More infrequently, we encounter authors whose words drill new phrases into our minds, crafting sentences of spiritual insight that cause us to pick up our own pens and inscribe them ourselves, as if to etch them in our own hearts. Of such import is my first reading of Climb Every Mountain. A few of the words I've written in the margins are these:
Pain always seems harder to bear when we try to bear it alone. We can overcome together what we could never overcome alone. You can keep your living legends, I'd rather be a living legacy. I see mountains as symbols of God's unchanging, resolute presence. He sits like a mighty mountain unmoving and unaffected by the storms of life.
-Dr. Greg Brown
I'm reading Climb Every Mountain for a second time. It's such an easy read but packed with so much. I keep a highlighter with me to highlight phrases of wisdom I want to reflect back on along the way. Thank you for writing Climb Every Mountain.
