sundijoBranson, MOAge: 25-34Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5The Summit: Faith Beyond Everest’s Death ZoneNovember 16, 2010sundijoBranson, MOAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for The Summit."At this point I knew that with a good attitude a person can go a lot further toward success than by focusing on the problem; keeping one's eye on the goal and not the minor setbacks, and looking past them to keep making tracks."
Maybe this is why I love Eric Alexander's The Summit, and so many others are going to as well. Not everyone has the patience, willingness, heart, and passion to assist a blind man over 29,000 feet to the top of Mt. Everest. That's exactly what Alexander did with blind climber Erik Weihenmayer.
This books keeps you captivated in adventure as Eric Alexander takes you through the reality of the mammoth mountains of life, where he faced fears, tears, and near death experiences. And the best part through it all was "a much more personal level of brotherhood and wisdom." -
Jeff RandlemanMountain View, MOAge: 35-44Gender: male4 Stars Out Of 5The Summit by Eric AlexanderNovember 15, 2010Jeff RandlemanMountain View, MOAge: 35-44Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for The Summit.I love Colorado! I love it because the mountains are so majestic. I cannot even possible imagine how a really large mountain would overwhelm me with awe, a mountain such as Everest.
It's not likely I'll ever have the chance to see such a mountain, much less climb one. But Eric Alexander takes you there, and many other places, in his new book The Summit: Faith Beyond Everest's Death Zone.
It's an amazing journey, from the Himalayas to Mount Elbrus in Russia, to Mount Hood in New Zealand, to Pisco and Machu Pichu in Peru, to Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, to Mount Denali in Alaska, to Mount Aconcagua in Argentina, and back to the Himalayas, Alexander takes us around the world. He even tells stories of climbs in his home state of Colorado. Whew!
Honestly, it's almost too much. By the end of the book, as amazing as these climbs are, I was ready to be finished reading it. I think it would have been much easier to read without all the extra locations added in.
However, Alexander keeps his faith at the forefront of it all. That was especially impressive.
All in all, it was an exciting tale, one that I'm glad that I read. I suggest you take it in.
