Book Cover & Preview Text
A little mountain woman, stooped with many years of hard work, came up to me and said, "I have something I want you to do for me." Of course, I told her I was glad to do whatever I could to be of help to her. She retrieved a little purse. With a lot of effort, she untied a hard knot tied in the handkerchief using her gnarled fingers inflicted with arthritis. She said, "Hold out your hand." She poured into my hand sixty-eight cents saying, "This is all I have, just sixt-eight cents, but I want to give it to missions."

About the Book
Glory in the Mountains is not about me or any other earthly person or persons. Many people are mentioned in this book, but the book is about God and what He has done in and through my life and in the life of others.
I could write volumes about the times I have failed, gone the wrong direction and made bad decisions. God always does the right thing in the right way at the right time. He never fails.
In my journey, His voice has been like the sounds of many waters. At times, it's peaceful and serene, then furious and demanding. That voice has been a source of strength for me through the years. I hope this little book will help someone stop and listen to His voice.
