The Mountain of Hope


Book Description

With notable exceptions, Black Beauty immediately comes to mind, literature observes humanity through a human lens. The Adventures of Snoop the Savant Goat shifts the narrative angle and tells the story of technological prowess and emotional ambiguity from the perspective of an animal, a very curious and vengeful goat called Snoop. Snoop crosses the path of the thriving human species as he seeks a new home for his herd, a place full of promise and hope for all ruminants. The primordial grass, a mystical plant brimming with nutrients and life, grows on the ledge of a mountain – a place that can be reached only after an arduous and dangerous journey. To reach the mysterious plant, Snoop must avoid predators and outsmart unpredictable (and untrustworthy) human beings. Will he succeed?




Mountain of Hope


Book Description

Mountain of Hope takes you on an endearing journey alongside author Karen Dancey, through the ordinary and extraordinary circumstances she faces through the seasons of her life. Her story is a beautiful testimony to the transformational power of God in our lives. As a Midwestern pastor's daughter, Karen's hopes and dreams are not always in line with the plans God has for her. Following the suicide of her husband, this young mother of three reminds us that in order to be transformed by God, we must continually seek to know Him, commit to Him, and ultimately surrender to His authority in our lives. "Karen Dancey passes us the mustard seed God used to move her mountain. Now it's our turn!" Phyllis Wallace, host of Woman to Woman, talk radio, Lutheran Hour Ministries "Karen's story honestly relates the tragedy of her husband's death and its devastating effect upon her family, but powerfully bears testimony to God's amazing provision and comfort through His Word, Christian friends, counselors, family, and a new Christian husband. This story radiates hope through Jesus." Stephen J. Carter, past president of Concordia Publishing House "Through telling her story of a broken heart, Karen Dancey gives encouragement to all who struggle with loss. Its conclusion resonates with the biblical truth that the God of all hope brings strength and joy through the presence of Jesus Christ." Elise Arndt, author, conference speaker, and director of women's ministry in Troy, Michigan

The Incredible Expanding Mountain of Hope


Book Description

Even though this book is about Daniel 2, it's not really about Daniel 2! It's really about Jesus! Come tag along on this exciting journey of re-discovery! Even if you think you've long understood all details of the prophecy, you may just discover a most important new insight and find yourself dumbfounded by precise prophetic fulfillments in Christian history that once sent chills up the author's spine. You too may discover the fuller gospel meaning embedded within ancient cryptic symbols, almost like a “hidden picture”! Daniel 2, specifically, unveils the very Foundation Stone of all later Bible prophecies, and—correctly understood—it places the Lamb of God, His unfathomable love for sinners, and the heart conquest of His Kingdom (of glory and of grace) squarely back at the center of all Bible prophecy. That Christ-centering “hidden picture” is nothing short of a self-portrait of Jesus and the prophesied growth of his New Testament “kingdom of God” message into all the world, of his royal incarnate rule from its tiniest beginnings in Bethlehem to its mountainous NO END in eternity! This book is really about a too-often “hidden” message that Herald believes God always intended to shout out to our anxiety-ridden world today, as we now teeter on the brink of eternity. It is the timeless and yet so timely message of “HOPE!” Real hope! A long-growing hope (as you will discover)—embodied in a Person—that reaches all the way down to even the most apparently hopeless if she or he will only recognize it and take hold…of JESUS! “In this magnificent book, which at times seems like a spy thriller, Joshua Herald methodically details insights into Scripture. He does so with such clarity and precision that you will wonder how you could have missed coming to the same conclusion he did.” ~ Ron Price MA, author of Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Church, Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Work, and Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Home "Hang onto your seats for this rollercoaster! Joshua Herald pens a twisting, turning ride to a better understanding of Daniel's beastly prophecies and the mysterious stone that strikes the colossal, metallic image. ~ Chris Conrad PG (professional geologist) If you have found the insights in this book to be spiritually uplifting and helpful, please share this title with a friend!




Between the Mountain and the Sky


Book Description

Between the Mountain and the Sky shows us the goodness that is possible when a single person--regardless of age--takes action to help another and, in the process, changes the lives of hundreds. Maggie’s story begins in suburban New Jersey, in a comfortable middle-class family that supports her decision to travel the world during a gap year before starting college. During her travels, the trajectory of her life alters when she has a surprise encounter with a Nepali girl breaking rocks in a quarry. Maggie decides to invest her life savings of five thousand dollars to buy a piece of land and open a children’s home in Nepal. That home becomes Kopila Valley Children’s Home, and eventually, the nonprofit Maggie launches, the BlinkNow Foundation, also starts the Kopila Valley School, which provides tuition-free education for more than four hundred students. Maggie and BlinkNow’s work have been recognized around the world for their innovative, sustainable work. However, this book isn’t a how-to for fledging philanthropists or nonprofit founders--it’s a coming-of-age story about a young woman suspended between two worlds, as well as the love, loss, healing, and hope she experiences along the way. And Maggie’s inspiring, intimate tale shows readers an important truth: the power to change the world exists within all of us.
