Uprooting the Mountain of Death, with its subtitle, Slaying the Grim Reaper with the Sword of the Spirit, is an allegory that tells the story of Elijah Truefaith, a prophet who is charged with doctrinal heresies. The story is unique and takes a creative approach to telling a well-known tale. Believers are always looking for a new way of looking at their faith, and this story does the job of providing a different perspective. Telling an allegory frames the events in a way that allows readers to receive new insights into their spiritual natures. The book is organized well and includes a table of contents. It is divided into short chapters with descriptive titles. The story unfolds cohesively without any major disruptions in plot. The writing is appropriately descriptive, direct, and clear. Characters are given their own voices and dialogue tags are used throughout. The action feels realistic, for example, characters use gestures for emphasis while they talk. This all helps the reader to lose himself in the story. Reading it will inject new hope and expectancy into the heart of every humble believer with child-like faith. It will stir anticipation in your heart due to God's unchanging nature and His personal word of encouragement.
