Climbing Life's Mountains (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781647186180)

This book is one that takes the reader on a journey through the good and not so good parts of life. It touches on situations both in and out of one's control, that they might find themselves in. Being in a difficult situation is bad enough, but not knowing how, when, or if it will ever end, is even worse. However, this book takes the reader through this journey of life, and furnishes them with hope to accept the things of life that cannot be changed and to fight to change the things that are within one's power to change.

Although each person will face countless difficulties and hardships in life, one must continue to push forward, as the victory is yours for the taking, if you just hold on to Jesus's unchanging hand. This book inspires the reader to see that a better life is out there for them, if they can just imagine themselves on the other side of the problem. There is so much compassion and genuineness in these poems, as Dorian has first-hand knowledge about how tough it is to remove oneself from toxic situations and to attempt to smile when on the inside one is feeling sad.

This book has an amazing way of lifting a person's spirit; in some cases, it forces them to make an immediate change in their life. The object of this book is to provide some eye-opening situations to the readers, and in some cases, this will be done by giving the worst-case scenario. As a result, the reader can see just how bad things can get if they do not change their ways or their way of thinking.

Also, included are many stories of how one may have thought something or someone to be genuine, only to find out they were deceived; although this is not a good feeling, it equips one with the knowledge of the red flags in order to see the attack coming, if it ever comes their way again.

A guidepost to stopping the controllable reoccurring hurts and pains in life is what this book displays. The poems are filled with pain and joy all in one. Some of the poems tug at your heart strings, some force one into a fighting stance, and some force one to get on their knees and pray for the right way to go.

This collection of poetry has a poem for everyone, it can speak to the lives of many, or it can speak to the life of the one who needs it most. Most importantly, this book caringly reaches out to the reader, and helps them through their pain, by letting them know everything will be all right; that there is still hope, even if the situation appears desolate.
