Change can happen in your life as quickly as you’ll believe it.
Jason Snow has lived his life making choices that he believed
would bring him happiness. Ironically, he acted in ways
that got him the exact opposite of what he wanted. Now,
his relationship with his wife is hanging by a thread, he is
miserable at work, and worst of all, he feels disgusted at the
thought that his kids are suffering because of choices he’s
made. Is there a way out?

Although this book follows Jason Snow on a life-changing
quest beginning at the base of Mt. Hood, Snow Rising is not
a novel. It’s an invitation to take a personal journey. Author
Matthew Baldwin says, “I invite you to join Jason Snow, and
leave you with two questions: one, can you be an advocate
for the changes you desire to see in yourself and in the world
around you; and two, do you have the audacity to find out?”
Snow Rising can put individuals back together, revitalize
marriages and families, and help recover fractured
organizations. It shares four axioms, absolute truths, that are
at the root of all happiness. But as the author says, “Then
again, perhaps the answer is not in the answer, but in the
journey to the answer.”

Take the journey. Make the change. Know the peace.

On a beautiful April morning in 2001, Pamela Hansen decided to do something she hadn’t done for a very long time. She decided to take a walk. Fearful that she would not be able to take more than a few steps with her morbidly obese body, she was desperate to focus her attention on something other than the tragedies of her life-the death of an infant daughter, the cruel and debilitating autoimmune diseases that attacked two other children, and finally the stillbirth of a son just a few weeks earlier. That first walk, which lasted just 10 minutes, was the beginning of an amazing journey that ultimately led to a 100-pound weight loss (without surgery or pills) and the fulfillment of a dream to run a marathon. In Running with Angels, Pam shares both her struggles and her success, using the marathon race as a metaphor for facing life’s challenges. She candidly discusses the pain of living with obesity and the hopelessness that accompanies it. More important, she offers practical suggestions for anyone trying to reach a goal, particularly a goal of weight loss, and shows how small steps over time can help you realize your dreams.

As I sat there trying to soothe my ten-year-old son, I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe sometimes God feels that way. He watches us. He sees us learning and growing, functioning independently and feeling like we’ve got everything under control. Then something happens and with tears running down our cheeks we reach out to Him. “Oh, God,” we cry, “it hurts!” At such times, I can almost feel Him gathering us in His arms, comforting us. Loving us. And helping us through it. Not because He’s God, but because He’s our parent, and we’re His babies.

Recalling a pack one of his fellow Scouts lugged up the steep trail to Lake Blanche, John Bytheway says, “He had things in his pack that were too heavy, that he didn’t need, that weighed him down, and that made the hike a lot harder than it needed to be.”

That’s the way it is in life, too. Many of us carry around things that make the journey harder than it needs to be; things such as a poor selfimage, a tendency to feel sorry for ourselves, or bad habits. In this entertaining and inspiring presentation, John Bytheway suggests we get rid of the extra weight, so we’ll have room to carry the things we really need; a capacity to love, a desire to serve, and the energy to make a difference in someone else’s life.
