"Should appeal to all rugged individualists who dream of escape to the forest."—The New York Times Book Review Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in New York City with his family, so he runs away to the Catskill Mountains to live in the woods—all by himself. With only a penknife, a ball of cord, forty dollars, and some flint and steel, he intends to survive on his own.

It will be read year after year.” —The Horn Book
At times in life, there are chance happenings that, when reflected upon, are revealed to be turning points - times when life changes and what we know, or what we think we know, is substantially altered. The words that follow are the simple expression of one of those times for me - a time that lasted for two years - a time of substantial spiritual growth. Message from the Mountain is inspired writing that seemingly came from nowhere and yet was the foundation for a profound Spiritual awakening - opening my eyes and others to our Life's Purpose. All is not as it seems! "Who are you?" The old woman from the mountain asked this simple question with a forceful kindness, as if summoning something that would come from deep within. Before I could answer audibly, I felt the answer that I did not wish to speak: "I do not know." I dare not say that, I thought as I tried to formulate my answer in my head. Surely I could define myself with... "That's correct. You do not know. Very good." "It's time to wake up from your mind sleep." As I heard the words ring clear from the old woman from the mountain, I felt refreshed as if I had been resting for hours. Yet, as I observed all that was around me, I came to understand that my time on the rock had been only minutes - perhaps thirty at most. The sun was moving west into mid-afternoon, and the breeze that had caressed my cheeks so gently just hours earlier began to increase in intensity as if to signal something new was blowing into my life. My 'mind sleep....' Her last words replayed again in my head. I wanted to shake my head, as her words seemed to create a sense of imbalance within me. Their meaning may not be as clear as I first hear them, I thought. "You are right," she uttered. "My words have a deeper meaning for you." Her voice came from nowhere. Not once had I spoken a word of my thoughts. "You will learn. Thoughts do not have to be spoken to have power. Your thoughts, whether spoken or not, have tremendous power. I will guide you based upon the truth of your thoughts." Message from the Mountain carries all who read on a journey of inner discovery into Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. Join me and let's take this magical journey together!
In one of the greatest American classics, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin tells the story of the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Originally published in 1953, Baldwin said of his first novel, "Mountain is the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else." “With vivid imagery, with lavish attention to details ... [a] feverish story.” —The New York Times
What does it take to be one of the world's best high-altitude mountain climbers? A lot of fundraising; traveling in some of the world's most dangerous countries; enduring cold bivouacs, searing lungs, and a cloudy mind when you can least afford one. It means learning the hard lessons the mountains teach. Steve House built his reputation on ascents throughout the Alps, Canada, Alaska, the Karakoram and the Himalaya that have expanded possibilities of style, speed, and difficulty. In 2005 Steve and alpinist Vince Anderson pioneered a direct new route on the Rupal Face of 26,600-foot Nanga Parbat, which had never before been climbed in alpine style. It was the third ascent of the face and the achievement earned Steveand Vince the first Piolet d"or (Golden Ice Axe) awarded to North Americans. Steve is an accomplished and spellbinding storyteller in the tradition of Maurice Herzog and Lionel Terray. Beyond the Mountain is a gripping read destined to be a mountain classic. And it
