The Summit by Eric Alexander is a novel based on a true story, but is not only the usual heart-racing adventure story. It’s a story of overcoming obstacles, teamwork, and faith in action. Not only was Alexander’s team attempting to climb Mount Everest, but they were attempting to do so with a blind friend. Alexander details not just the technical aspects of the climbs, but also the spiritual lessons he and his team learned along the way. Throughout the narrative are relevant Scripture passages, famous quotes, and practical faith lessons. Dozens of full-color photographs from the actual adventures are nested in the middle of the book that bring the awe-inspiring stories to life. Includes a detailed appendix at the back with practical guidance on mountain climbing. ~ Tara
