This is the story of how Much-Afraid escaped from her fearing relatives and went with the Shepherd to the high places where perfect love casteth out fear.
Synopsis: (From Goodreads):
'Hinds' Feet on High Places' is Hannah Hurnard's best known and loved book; a beautiful allegory dramatizing the yearning of God's children to be led to new heights of love, joy, and victory.Follow Much-Afraid on her spiritual journey through difficult places with her two companions, Sorrow and Suffering. Learn how Much-Afraid overcomes her tormenting fears as she passes through many dangers and mounts at last to the High Places. There she gains a new name and returns to her valley of service, transformed by her union with the loving Shepherd.
So, what's the first line of the book you're currently reading?
It's been ages since I read this, but I loved it. I'm currently reading The sisters of Sea View by Julie Klassen. The first line is: "April 1819. Sarah Summers carefully lifted the family heirloom, a warm mantle of nostalgia settling over her." Hope you had a great weekend!
