Journey to the Glass Hill

Journey to the Glass Hill is the story of one boy's endeavors through the trying times of his childhood. Johann, like most boys, just wanted to be loved, but with a father who was consumed with grief, he sought for this love to no avail. So it was in other ways that Johann had to discover what love was. He found it in the animals around his father's farm and in the pages of an old Bible. However, life is molded by more than circumstances. There were individuals who influenced Johann's journey and shaped his future. A kindly king, a gracious princess, a hungry beggar, and a heartbroken father all touched Johann's life in profound ways. But it was the absence of others that often weighed most intensely upon Johann's young shoulders-a mother and grandmother lost to him and only fragmented memories remained to sustain him through the lows of life. "The Lord will provide" became a mantra to him, an assurance his grandmother had often shared. And through the many trials that Johann faced, it was this truth that provided him with the strength to endure and develop into a young man of integrity with a kind and compassionate spirit. Eventually, his journey led to the slopes of the Glass Hill, and it was upon those slopes that he would discover if God could indeed provide and keep the promises Johann had discovered in that old Bible. It would be on those slippery slopes that God's will and plan would be made clear.
