vickifarris 's review for:

The Heart of the Mountains by Pepper Basham
5.0

Sometimes when I read a passage, it will speak straight to my heart - like in Pepper Basham's "The Heart of the Mountain". (It also doesn't hurt that the setting is in the Blue Ridge Mountains.)

Mama (Caroline) said, "But prayin' is where we admit we ain't the lords of our own lies, nor of any lives, to be true. And, as I study on it, God uses prayin' to change my heart into what He's wantin' it to be in sun or rain, 'cause I'm trustin' His love and His plan."

Prayer doesn't change God's plan but it molds our hearts to desiring His plan for us.

This is such a great read.
