      In this unique, heart-warming devotional, Peter Grant tells a story in which Jesus invites him to climb a mountain together. “Something stirred deep within me – a longing to be closer to God, to spend more time with him, to get back on track.” At each stage of their journey upwards, as they encounter new places and people, Peter receives fresh wisdom and revelation, as his relationship with Jesus ever deepens. In the second part of the book, Peter suggests how we might apply each stage of the journey to our own lives, and scriptures to meditate on. The story is a parable of the Christian life, and you will find yourself gradually transformed by the love of Jesus, and inspired to bring his love to others around you.

      Charles Darwin's experiences in the Galapagos Islands in 1835 helped to guide his thoughts toward a revolutionary theory: that species were not fixed but diversified from their ancestors over many generations. This book explains what we have learned about the origin and evolution of new species.
