Sometimes Mountains Move

by C. Everett Koop, Elizabeth Koop

Sometimes Mountains Move is the unforgettable account of one family's ordeal with death--the loss of their twenty-year-old son while rock-climbing in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Young David Koop was part of a loving, close-knit family--father, mother, two brothers, and a younger sister--and his death in the spring of his junior year at Dartmouth College left a terrible vacancy in that circle. What resources sustained them? How did they cope with their bereavement?

Just happened to pick up this small 98 page book that was destined to the recycle bin. Glad I did. Touching story with so many nuggets of truth.

Sometimes Mountains move is a...unique read. It is impactful, but not because it is full of emotions as you would expect. Sure, you can tell it is from the heart, but what makes it outstanding is how practical is it. Whether Christian or not, if you want a true story that shows Christians who practice what they preach, this book is worth picking up.
This book can show you...
The peace God bring when you lean on Him.
An understanding of how God moves in trials and tribulations for good,
How God can work and speak to you in simple, everyday ways,
That you don't always have time to wait. Today matters, because you aren't guaranteed tomorrow just because you're young.

Easy read in a few hours. Sad story, but a beautiful perspective after loss of a son.

God doesn’t make the void in our lives go away, He makes them bearable when nothing else can.

And Sometimes, Mountains Move. Thank you, Mr. And Mrs. Koop for writing this book.
