The Ascent: Drawing closer to God

by Peter Grant

In this unique, heart-warming devotional, Peter Grant tells a story in which Jesus invites him to climb a mountain together. “Something stirred deep within me – a longing to be closer to God, to spend more time with him, to get back on track.” At each stage of their journey upwards, as they encounter new places and people, Peter receives fresh wisdom and revelation, as his relationship with Jesus ever deepens. In the second part of the book, Peter suggests how we might apply each stage of the journey to our own lives, and scriptures to meditate on. The story is a parable of the Christian life, and you will find yourself gradually transformed by the love of Jesus, and inspired to bring his love to others around you.

[Dee Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

Profoundly and beautifully simple

This simple story is also profound because it calls for far more love and commitment than most everyday citizens are willing to embrace when faced with issues of Christian social justice, especially those impacting women and children. I'm happy the fine organization, Restored, to whom Peter and Mandy have devoted themselves, is putting itself out there, setting an example to show the world what is possible when commitment does exist.
