A cloaked figure climbs the Mount of the Lord. The pilgrim draws near, glances at me as I read along the wayside, and presses on. I gasp and turn my head, for this pilgrim has my face. In a flash of clarity, I realize the pilgrim is me. And so it goes. I find myself - and you - everywhere within the pages of I Run to the Hills. Filled with intimate glimpses of reality that cut to the heart of a matter, illustrated in poetic imagery, and couched in allegory, I Run to the Hills is a modern-day Pilgrim's Promise. It's complex truths clothe themselves in simplicity and knock at the door of the reader's heart.
It would be difficult to read I Run to the Hills in a single sitting, something like eating too much chocolate. This book should be studied, little by little, over time, for it highlights lessons learned by its author over a ten-year stretch of living. Read it, and then reread it to glean again.
I recommend this book for teenagers and adult readers who enjoy devotionals, poetry and allegory.
