Overview

We live and work and sleep indoors. We've detached ourselves from nature. Some people walk and pray and that's good. How many of us daily retreat alone to a quiet place outside with God? Jesus did. A retreat into nature provided a space for spiritual fortification and preparation. The mountain symbolizes a place of God's presence, a place of strength and permanence. There are seven accounts from the Gospels indicating that Jesus practiced mountainside prayer to connect with God. Seven prayer-soaked stories from practical missions inspire us to allow our words and deeds to rise. These actions provide spiritual strength and stretch. Ten principles from the mountain will be your sheath through abrasive times and harsh resistance on your prayer journey of obeying God.

Reviews

""Some of the world's most inspirational literature comes when an author lets their life speak. Mountainside Prayer is just such a book. Concise, inviting, instructional, symbolic. Tom brings his veteran experiences as a mountaineer and as one sent by Jesus into all the world to weave together personal stories and unique insight into Scriptures and prayer. Like the Psalms of Ascent, this book will incline you to pray and to keep going to the mountain."" --Chris Kiesling, Professor of Human Development and Christian Discipleship, Asbury Theological Seminary ""Mountainside Prayer is rooted in the prayer life of Jesus and lived out in the serving and disciplines of a true mountain climber named Tom Nisbett. Tom has spent decades literally climbing mountain peaks all around our world and spiritually ascending and descending life's journeys with great dependence upon Jesus in prayer. In this book, Tom provides both strong challenges and helpful resources to a deeper life of prayer."" --Andy Hurst, Senior Pastor, St. Luke's Methodist, Lubbock, Texas
