The summit of Mount Sinai, 'the mountain of God', is an ancient and mysterious destination for pilgrims. In this powerful new book the reader is invited to make a symbolic ascent of the mountain, a spiritual quest for the God who is alive today. The mountain to be climbed is not outside us but within us; it is the 'terrible wall' of our preconceived ideas about God. It appears insurmountable until we realise that we make the ascent not by ourselves, but because the Lord calls us as he called Moses and gives us the strength to succeed. Writing in a series of short and stirring chapters, the author speaks frankly of the way modern life always threatens to block our spiritual journey. He calls upon some famous witnesses - prophets, mystics, poets and philosophers new and old - who have overcome the obstacles and made the pilgrim's progress before us.
