[Excerpt from introduction] A Call To Hike Above The Timberline It takes discipline and commitment to hike above the timberline. In California, the timberline is about 12,000 feet above sea level. It is spectacularly rugged mountain country with visibility well over one hundred miles. The air is fine. Everything about the country above thetimberline is dramatic. The storms are fiercer, the temperatures sharper, the sun brighter, and the atmosphere purer. You see all the stars at 12,000 feet. From personal experience, I can tell you, you have to work for this country. No one comes to the trails here without personal commitment and serious effort. This devotional guide is a call to hike above the timberline in your Christian walk. So many Christians remain all their lives in dry deserts where they are usually thirsty and dependent upon an occasional spring or chance thunderstorm for refreshment. This devotional guide is a discipleship journal to help you develop the capacity to hike above 12,000 feet where the peaks and glaciers are, and where the streams have their source. You have to stay close to your leader to hike up here. That's what you'll be doing as you give God time to speak to you each day and you respond back in prayer and life commitment. You are now in training- Go for the high country! "Did not our hearts bum within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?" (Luke 24:32) SM
