Customer Reviews
A great follow up to hinds Feet On High Places
A must read for all Christians. Hana Hannard's style of writing bring forth in a simple and plainly understandable way, the working of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.
A Spicey title
I bought the book because I love the spices of the world...the entire world....That was the hook.
Enjoyable and thought provoking. I liked the visuals that it created in my head.
Great sequel!
This book is a great sequel to the book by the same author, Hinds Feet On High Places. It's a must follow up!
Fruits of the Spirit part is excellent
Half of this book is a direct sequel to Hinds Feet on High Places - it is told in story format, with the same characters as that book. I like it very much. However my favorite part by far is the corresponding chapters on the fruits of the Spirit, and I often go back and read them. In each one the King takes Grace and Glory to a new mountain of a ring of nine, each representing a different fruit of the Spirit & teaching it by comparison with spices listed in Song of Songs (or someplace). She describes how that plant corresponds to that Spirit, and He teaches her about it. Then she goes down into the Valley for the days work. He teacher her a song for each one. One of my favorites is something like this:
Love must give and give and give
Love must die or share
Only then can true love live
Fruitful everywhere.
(from Gentleness I think, also the following:)
'The King and Grace and Glory came, just before sunrise, to the Mountain of Calamus, where the spices of gentleness were cultivated...she stood still in delighted surprise, for stretching before her were fields of slender reeds, swaying in the breeze and tossing lightly in rhythmical motion like waves on a slightly rolling sea...
He pointed out to her the exquisite grace and lovely, unresisting meekness with which they bowed themselves before the wind, sometimes right to the ground, only to sweep upward again without effort when the wind had passed over them...
'They know how to be abased and how to be exalted' ..she realized that the lovely fragrance that exuded from them and which men call gentleness, sympathy and loving understanding was developed by the daily practice of bending submissively to life's difficult circumstances without bitterness, resent or self-pity.'
etc. etc. etc. It's really quite good.
I've had this book for fifteen years and still go back and read the fruits of the spirit parts regularly (as God seems to be teaching me about that fruit!) It was originally published in 1977 - not many books stay in print for thirty years.
Mountains of Spices
This is the sequal to "Hinds Feet on High Places", and a must read. This book will uplift and encourage the down hearted and give hope. A classic for any bookcase.
