Summary

The teaching pastor of one of America's largest megachurches gives a call to action: Study the mountains mentioned in Scripture. Learn what God reveals there about himself, and you. Then take those truths back to the people.

An overview of the mountaintop experiences mentioned in Scripture where God met with his followers for the express purpose of greater clarity on two questions: Who is God? and Who am I? Each chapter provides the reader with a clear picture of God's character and how those attributes both challenge and encourage us.

Praise for The Mountains Are Calling

“What an incredible book to walk us through the mountaintop experiences God gave to so many of his saints in Scripture. If you’ve longed for a new kind of intimacy with God, a fresh experience of who he is and what he wants for you, this book is for you. It will, as Jarrett Stephens promises, change your perspective, first on who God is and second on who you are. You’ll love this book!”
—J. D. Greear, PhD, pastor of The Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham, NC

“Most of us have had a mountaintop experience that quickly loses its luster or exhausts its energy. In The Mountains Are Calling, Jarrett Stephens will equip and empower you to recognize God’s hand in those spiritual moments that can be a catalyst for your growth. Whether you are literally going to the mountains or just putting aside time for God, Jarrett will show you how God can use it.”
—Kyle Idleman, pastor and author of Not a Fan and Grace Is Greater
