After 27 years of vacationing at a friend's cabin a few miles south of Estes Park, Colorado, I found myself confronted with the thought of summiting Longs Peak. I titled a journal written about the climb, "A Twenty-Seven-Year Journey to the Summit of Longs Peak". I considered it a twenty-seven-year journey, as I had been observing this massive mountain over a period of nearly three decades of summers. Astonishingly, the thought of reaching its summit had never once entered my thoughts.After the climb, I struggled in my attempt to reconcile risk vs. reward with experiences encountered on the mountain. There were post-climb thoughts that became a source of doubt and sorrow. The writing of this book eases the burden of the emotions and thoughts that were totally unexpected in even the broadest sense of one's imagination.Paralleling this climb with summiting spiritual mountains brings closure and a sense of worthiness to what would otherwise seem to be nothing more than a 61-year-old taking some rather pointless risks. While sharing the experiences of climbing a physical mountain, we will come to realize the many ways that God uses spiritual mountains in our individual lives.We will traverse back and forth between the physical mountain, "A Twenty-Seven-Year Journey to Longs Peak" and spiritual mountains. Parallels between different junctures encountered on these mountains are revealed. We will apply the truths of His Scripture to our journey through Living Faith. As we climb, you may be surprise at how closely an actual summit of one of God's most beautiful and eye-catching creations parallels the ascent and descent of the spiritual mountains that He allows and sometimes places in our paths as we live our faith in and through Him each day.We will conclude with the Mount Everest of our spiritual mountains, Living Faith. We will see how all other spiritual mountains, except one, lie in the shadow of this mountain whose summit rests in heaven. Here, God's throne is set as those who have embraced Saving Faith are gathered and judged, not for salvation but for rewards, gained or lost.
