Book excerpt: Written in a style of Per Peterson meets John Banville and Jesmyn Ward, Move Over Mountain is a poetic and starkly moving novel for readers who contemplate life's difficult questions and fear their simplest answers. In the span of one winter, John Underwood, a quiet and distant sixty-eight-year old man is suddenly forced to reckon with the present moment when his wife Sylvia is rendered unconscious, hospitalized, and left lingering somewhere between life and death. Plagued by epilepsy, John fears that, as his seizures continue, he will eventually lose all memory of his wife if she dies. Day after day, he sits at her bedside, clinging desperately onto all of the precious moments of quiet, ordinary life, hoping to make sense of what brought him to this painful moment. As winter approaches and John refuses to let Sylvia go, he is tormented by his own gnawing conscience, urging him to reach out to his estranged daughter, Valerie. As the dark battle against his fearful heart rages on, a glimmer of hope emerges when John meets his grandson for the first time. Set against the backdrop of the rural North Carolina mountains, Move Over Mountain tells the story of one man's fall into the grips of self-made fear and isolation, and his journey to find redemption.

Download or read book You Can Move Your Mountains written by Christine Davis Easterling and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-03 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountains have been revered for eons. These tall, extraordinary rock monuments were built by God so we might admire his craft and climb closer to him. This book is a detailed study of the role mountains have played throughout the Bible-from Mount Ararat, where Noah's Ark rested until the floodwaters receded; to Calvary, where Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice. These are some of the most sacred places in the Judeo-Christian tradition and deserve to be honored as such. In addition to reviewing the literal mountains mentioned in the Bible, this work discusses the figurative mountains in our society-challenges such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, unemployment, domestic abuse, and poverty. Author Christine Davis Easterling argues that we may better understand how to scale the figurative mountains in our lives by seeing how Jesus conquered the literal ones. A mountain can be daunting when you're standing at its base, looking up. But with Jesus's guidance, you will find that no mountain is too tall to overcome. And reaching the tops of your personal mountains will bring you closer to the Lord.
