“There’s something about exploration that’s always fascinated me. The greatest explorers learn that when the climber achieves the mountain peak, it makes all the difficulty, challenge, and pain it took to get there worthwhile. In The Mountains Are Calling, Jarrett Stephens captures exactly what that means for a Christian today. How do we conquer the mountains we’re faced with, and what can God reveal to us as we see the world from that vantage point? While we can’t always live on the mountain, the moments we spend there make the journey worthwhile. Get this book. It will challenge your thinking about moving beyond your limits and give you a new vision for what God can accomplish with your life.”
—Phil Cooke, PhD, filmmaker, media consultant, and author of The Way Back: How Christians Blew Our Credibility and How We Get It Back

“When I heard Jarrett Stephens talk about a preaching series he was going to do on the mountaintop experiences found in the Bible, I thought it was such a great idea. So many important events in the Bible take place on a mountain: Mount Carmel, Mount Moriah, Mount Sinai, and the Mount of Transfiguration. At each venue we see that God is the protector, the provider, the sustainer, the transformer, and so much more. Let God take you to the mountaintop and experience a new point of view.”
—Kerby Anderson, president of Probe Ministries and host of Point of View radio talk show
