Climbing Prayer Mountain is a forty-day prayer journey into the presence of God. It is a devotional designed to encourage you in your prayer life and help you grow in fellowship with your Heavenly Father.
Author Tim Spykstra presents Climbing Prayer Mountain as a metaphor for spiritual growth through prayer. Inspired by the events atop Mount Hermon in Mark 9, known as the Mount of Transfiguration, Spykstra’s forty devotionals examine pivotal events in the spiritual growth of those who were present that Moses, Elijah, Jesus, Peter and John.
Climbing Prayer Mountain invites us to apply the spiritual truths we learn from these men to our own lives. We learn that climbing can be difficult, full of obstacles and distractions, but it can also be glorious. And, like Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, our climb will ultimately lead us to a place of transformation and “ridiculous beauty.”
This insightful devotional helped me gain a greater appreciation for the love of my Father and facilitated great times to come into his presence. Tim does a great job blending multiple scripture references, his personal experiences, and actions to pray through each day. He does so in a way that is very manageable to read daily. Each day is standalone but all come together to form a bigger theme from multiple perspectives.
Climbing Prayer Mountain is a spiritually rich yet highly readable devotional that’s helps draw you into the presence of God by deepening your prayer life with our Heavenly Father.
The book is divided into four sections that bring to mind the challenges and mountain top experiences of Moses, Elijah, Jesus, Peter and John.
Each devotion features an inspiring prayer principle, a daily Scripture and devotion, and prayer topics to meditate upon and pray for. There are also questions at the end of each section for deeper reflection and group study.
Climbing Prayer Mountain is a unique devotional that not only provides insight into the prayer life of the heroes of our faith, but also provides us with practical application steps to pray better and draw closer to God in our personal prayer lives.
Climbing Prayer Mountain is a wonderful spiritual resource that I highly recommend to you!
