Peaks and Pits: How the Land of the Bible Reflects the Life of a Believer - Paperback

by Roger D. Mardis (Author), Governor Mike Huckabee (Foreword by)

Travelers to the Holy Land can all attest ... this truly is a land of "hills and valleys" (Deuteronomy 8:7, 11:11) and so is life! Hills and valleys, highs and lows, peaks and pits-whatever one chooses to call them, every person has some good days and some bad ones. In this inspirational Christian book, Roger D. Mardis, a seasoned pastor, preacher, writer, and traveler, reflects on the many places and locations in Israel (mountains and/or valleys), to take you on a thirty-day journey to learn about the Holy Land-and life. As you read this devotional guide, you'll consider questions such as: -What is the problem with pride? -When were you tested in life-and what did you learn? -What is the purpose of God's law? -What does it mean to "abide" in Christ? At the conclusion of each day's reading, you'll find questions like the ones above that will help you make your way on your journey-whether you're enjoying a peak or trying to slog through a pit. Embark on a journey that will challenge your life and bring you closer to the Lord with the lessons in this book.
