Snow On The Mountain

If there's ever been a time in your life as a Believer, as a fully committed Christian, where you've come upon an unsurmountable mountain of doubt and a feeling of uncertainty, then you can probably relate to Snow On The Mountain. And if you've ever felt like you've completely lost your way and no longer feel God's presence or His uncompromising love, grace, mercy and forgiveness, this story told in song is one that will resonate with you as you share it with your son or daughter.

We often forget just how much children, even young children, can absorb and maintain, especially when it's presented through music. Snow On The Mountain is the latest book in the Storytelling Man Children's Picture Book Series. Just like every other book in the series, the text of the story is the lyrics to the song, which can be accessed by a QR code at the beginning of the book on the Dedication Page. This allows readers to listen to the song as they read along in the book. As such, it can be a great learning tool for young readers.

In Snow On The Mountain we follow the journey of a young man who decides to take a hike and ends up facing a mountain. He thinks, like a lot of us might think, that he can handle the challenge, that he's in "good enough shape to make the climb." But he quickly learns he's not. He quickly finds himself struggling to make that climb and dealing with all the mountain throws at him, the snow falling on his "uncovered head" and the "holes that others had fallen in." What we as readers and listeners soon learn is that his journey isn't as much physical as it is spiritual. And as his heart grows "cold and hardened" there's only one person, the Lord Jesus Christ, that can melt the mountain and warm his cold heart.

If you're anything like me, you probably have to admit that the feelings expressed by our sojourner In Snow On The Mountain have crept in far more often than you'd like. And if you're anything like me, during those times when you seemed so far from God, so distant from Christ and His Holy Spirit, you probably wondered if you'd ever find your way back. You probably thought you'd never recover to enjoy the peace, joy and love God offers each and every one of us every moment of every day.

But thank God that He never leaves us nor forsakes us! (Hebrews 13:5) And oftentimes it's during our times of deepest despair, our darkest hours, times when we think our cold hearts can never find His warmth again, that Jesus shows up to pick us up, to carry us, to comfort us and to let us know His presence.
