From AudioFile
The Christian allegory, such as the classic PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, is a story that characterizes the Christian walk of faith described in the Bible. Restricted to a single meaning, the allegory features Christian virtues and sins as symbolic characters who have no real personal qualities beyond the abstractions they represent. In Hurnard's allegory, Flo Schmidt narrates the story of characters named Much Afraid, Sorrow, and Suffering as they journey to the High Places, where their weaknesses will be turned into strengths and their fears into faith. The Shepherd who leads them is characterized with a kind, gentle voice filled with love and hope. The personalities of Craven Fear, Pride, and Selfishness, who act as antagonists, are depicted with sharp, cutting tones. The testing of each character during the journey is realistic, and tones of joy ring out as Much Afraid and her companions gather memorial stones to mark their progress.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Who does not wish that they could overcome evil, tribulation, sorrow, and pain, and transform them all for the praise and glory of God? Who does not want to live here on earth on the high places of love and victory as promised by God?

This cannot be done by reliance on ourselves alone. We must lay down our own selfish will and accept the liberation of living according to God's will.

Hinds' Feet on High Places shows us how we can triumph over evil and pain, grief and suffering by placing ourselves in the hands of God, who wants to bring all his children to him.
