Mountains of the Lord

Rob Taylor invites you to accompany him on a hike through a range of nine of the mountains mentioned in the Bible. Not all of them are mountains – some are little more than hills – but as we enter into the stories of faith linked to each of them, they are indeed shown to be vast and high. These are “summits of the soul”, each providing a metaphor for the call to the adventure of faith, and each serving to summon us to a deeper engagement with God. This hike through the mountains of the Lord invites us to engage with life-defining experiences in the lives of prominent Biblical characters, and to see how these might apply to our lives as we identify with the lessons these great heroes of the faith have learned on the high ground of adventure with God. It is offered in the hope that this metaphorical hike through the mountains of Scripture will resonate deeply with all who read it.Rob Taylor is Minister in Charge of Christ Church, Kenilworth in Cape Town, having previously served as Rector of St Thomas’ Anglican Church in Durban, All Souls in Umhlali, and at St Martin’s in Durban North. He is married to Sue and they have two sons, a daughter-in-law and a grandson.
