Give me a Revelation

A long time ago I read a book called Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. If you are not familiar with his work, he is a very descriptive writer. He has the ability to make you feel you are actually where his story is taking place. Into Thin Air is about climbers trying to conquer Mt. Everest. It is a true story of the author's ascent of Mt. Everest which turned catastrophic when eight climbers were killed and others stranded by a rogue storm. It is simply breathtaking and heartbreaking. As I was reading this book I was freezing, exhausted and in need of oxygen. I highly recommend this edge of your seat true story.

Jon Krakauer is also the author of Into the Wild, another true story. Now, I did not read this book but realized he wrote this when my husband and I rented the movie. I am not sure if I would recommend this movie because by the end I was so aggravated (spoiler alert!!!!!!) by the senseless death of this young man. But then again, is that not what books and movies are supposed to do... Krakauer again captures the essence of this young man on a quest to see the wild and the people and places he encounters along the way.

Which brings me to my point of this post. In both these stories, these men need a revelation. In the movie Into the Wild, the main character finds this place called Salvation Mountain in California. The Gospel is clearly preached on this "mountain". Third Day ( one of my favorite rock bands) has this amazing song called Revelation. In the video, in the above blog post, they highlight Salvation Mountain.

For those of you reading this blog, if you need a revelation, God will meet with you. He will reveal Himself to you.
