Reaching the Heights

He was known only as Friend. Responding to God's invitation, he was told, "Follow the trail, for there you will find Me."

Loaded with only a few essentials, Friend set out. Obedience soon cost him nearly everything he held dear: family, friends, even creatures from demonic realms seemed determined to convince him to give up the quest.

But, as the weeks turned into years, he discovered a world more precious than he could have ever imagined. Now, with a lifetime of service behind him, Friend meets the angel called Jake. "Go to the summit of the mountain before you," Jake tells him. "There you will find at last the end of the trail."

Reaching the Heights is a story that unfolds on two levels. First, it is simply about a man and his wife on a backpack trip. On a deeper level, the allegory appears, where anyone may see themselves. Come along and discover the joy in the journey.
