Synopsis "Who is Like Unto Thee?: O Lord Among Gods"
This book has been developing, like an embryo in the womb, for seven years. The first part which was originally called 'Can You Make It Up the Mountain?' was a study of the nature and character of our God so far as He has chosen to disclose it to us through the scriptures. The second part is probably summed up as 'How we should react to what we learned from the ascent of the mountain?' Perhaps subtitled 'The Challenges of Discipleship'. It is inspired by the writings of a 15th century monk, and I suspect, will be a greater challenge than the trek up the mountain. So, this is an account of one man's journey following Christ; out of his love for God and his desire for obedience, he was compelled to undertake this quest with little understanding or just how much he would have to rely on the one he was so desperately seeking. He has likened his journey to that of a mountaineer, and similar to such an adventurer, he learned some hard lessons, had moments of rest and moments of pushing on with great determination. He now invites you to share in his experiences and embark on your own journey up the mountain and into the dark night. Do not think however, that you will be able to make it by relying on your own strength and wisdom; that will come from God. However lonely the climb might be, rest assured that you will never be travelling alone; as promised, the comforter, the Holy Spirit, will be there to guide, encourage, sustain, and motivate you. Please treat this labour of love like a banquet; a feast of exquisite delicacies, each individual dish to be savoured and absorbed before indulging in the next.
