| Publisher Description: The Mountain of the Lord: a Cautionary Tale was written by Anne Chick as the result of a dramatic revelation she received while viewing Beck Weathers's testimony of his back-from-death experience on Mount Everest in the disastrous climbing season of May 1996. In the Church today, there is a desire to experience God in a more dramatic and tangible way. God wants to draw His people to Him, in this time when His return for them is so near. However, many people, and even congregations, are seeking a mountain-top experience in the wrong spirit and for the wrong reasons. Scripture tells us that the Lord sees the heart. God knows our motives for climbing those spiritual mountains, and He is seeking to draw us and prepare us for these experiences, and caution us at the same time. Mrs. Chick's dramatic analogy of disaster on Everest highlights the intensity, the thrill, the rewards, and the danger of seeking the heights of God. She calls all believers, and especially leadership, to persevere on this climb, at the same time examining our motives, realizing we serve a holy God, and acknowledging that we have a responsibility to those who follow us to the heights to climb with passion, righteousness and integrity. |
