Books with title The Mountain Climber

Usually, adults understand me when I say, "Jesus really changes your life." They understand better, because they have lived through more experiences and can look back on those experiences with the perspective that God had everything in His hands. He knew what would happen. He knew when it would happen. He even knew the people and circumstances that it would take to get you to where he wanted you.I was taught from a very young age Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose." Knowing that verse as a child helped me through many of my trials and hardships.It is quite a process getting to the place where you really begin to truly understand the goal of God is not to harm you; even though it seems like everything is out to take us down, overwhelm, and crush us. The Lord is right there through even the worst of it. His plan is in motion, and what lies in store for every Christian, no matter the denomination, is more beautiful and more glorious than you could ever imagine.Although the story is directed toward children, my goal in this story is to help all people see that God is really and truly working everything for your good. He is making something perfect out of the huge mess. He is taking our lumps of coal and, with a little pressure, turning them into diamonds.

Willy, who lives next to the mountains, has a dream to become a mountain climber. However, there is one problem... he is afraid of heights. All of Willy's friends are mountain climbers and laugh at Willy and say that Willy will never be a mountain climber. One stormy day, while sitting next to a tree in his back yard, Willy hears cries for help up on the mountain top. It was Willy's friends. Forgetting about his freight of heights, Willy gathers the mountain climbing equipment and climbs up the mountain and saves his friends from being blown off the mountain. From that day on, Willy would be know as the mountain climber who saved the village youths from being blown off the mountain top. Willy would save more climbers from that day on.

ABOUT THE BOOK The story of THE MOUNTAIN was first published as a poem titled "SORE FEET" in Judith Weinshall Liberman's book PASSION: Poems of Love and Protest (iUniverse, 2013). THE MOUNTAIN tells the story of a boy who, with his scout troup, undertakes to climb a tall mountain. Due to various factors, the boy lags behind his mates. However, he persists, and although he reaches the mountain top after his mates have already done so and are on their way back, the boy feels special pride in his accomplishment. THE MOUNTAIN will inspire readers to put in their best effort despite apparent obstacles. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Born in Israel (then called "Palestine"), Judith Weinshall Liberman came to the United States in 1947 to pursue higher education. She earned four American university degrees including two in law, a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School and an LL.M. from the University of Michigan Law School. After settling in the Boston area in 1956, she studied art and creative writing. Beginning in the early 1960s, and for four decades thereafter, Ms. Liberman created numerous series of artworks. Her art has been widely exhibited, and is represented in the collection of museums and other public institutions. During her long career in visual art, Ms. Liberman wrote several books, among them some children's books. Her book THE BIRD'S LAST SONG (Addison-Wesley, 1976), which she also illustrated, won a citation as one of the "fabulous books of the year." Since 2012, she has published several additional picture books, including ICE CREAM SNOW (2012) , THE LITTLE FAIRY (2013), COLOR IN OUR WORLD (2014), THE VERY OLD PAINTER AND HER HUSBAND (2014), HAIFA (2014), ANGEL'S PUPPIES (2014), THE GIANT HOUSE (2014) and THE BEE AND THE BUTTERFLY (2014). Judith Weinshall Liberman's archives can be found in the Arts Department of the Boston Public Library and at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR This is the fifth book on which Judith Weinshall Liberman, the author, has collaborated with Gail Davis, the illustrator. Since she did not feel that, in light of her deteriorated eyesight, she could do justice to illustrating THE MOUNTAIN herself, Ms. Liberman selected a fine artist, Ms. Gail Davis, to create the illustrations under the author's guidance. The two had previously collaborated on THE LITTLE FAIRY, on THE VERY OLD PAINTER AND HER HUSBAND, on ANGEL'S PUPPIES, and on THE GIANT HOUSE. In the present book, Ms. Davis beautifully captures the spirit of the story and of its characters.
