9798385275595: Mountainside Prayer: Words and Deeds That Rise

Synopsis

We live and work and sleep indoors. We’ve detached ourselves from nature. Some people walk and pray and that’s good. How many of us daily retreat alone to a quiet place outside with God? Jesus did. A retreat into nature provided a space for spiritual fortification and preparation. The mountain symbolizes a place of God’s presence, a place of strength and permanence.
There are seven accounts from the Gospels indicating that Jesus practiced mountainside prayer to connect with God. Seven prayer-soaked stories from practical missions inspire us to allow our words and deeds to rise. These actions provide spiritual strength and stretch. Ten principles from the mountain will be your sheath through abrasive times and harsh resistance on your prayer journey of obeying God.
