About the Book
Founder of Mercy House Global inspires readers to step out in faith, hope for the unimaginable, and face the obstacles in front of them, not because they're good enough but because God makes the impossible possible.Book Synopsis
Life is an incredible journey with ups and downs. We soar, struggle, scale and stumble, and often stand at the edge of cliffs, afraid to step into the unknown, unsure of where we will land. But instead of running away, we are called by God to stand firm, muster up what faith we can, and take a step. Because we were made to move mountains.In this inspiring book, Kristen Welch calls you to step out in faith and climb the mountain in front of you--not because you are good enough or adequate or able, but because God makes a way where there is no way. With heartbreaking and hopeful personal stories, Scripture, and questions for contemplation, she draws you out of fear and into a holy confidence, showing you that the mountain in your path was put there on purpose, so that you could exercise--and grow--your faith.

Kristen Welch has shared her own fears, failings, and triumphs so that she can assure others that they are Made to Move Mountains. Each chapter of this book is filled with encouraging thoughts from different sources, inspiring words from God, a Mountaintop Moment to reflect on, and a lined Journal page that allows readers to write down their thoughts. You will want to read slowly and you'll want to have your highlighter handy as you go through the chapters because Made to Move Mountains isn't a book to read hurriedly or just once. This is a book to refer to time and time again because our lives are always going to have hurdles to jump and mountains that need to be climbed or moved!
If you are looking for motivation and inspiration, if you're wanting to deepen your faith, and if you want to be braver in your Christian walk, you will certainly want to read Made to Move Mountains.
I received a copy of this book from Baker Books. There was no obligation for a positive or favorable review. These are my own thoughts and opinions.

When I am asked to write a review, I am always asked to be honest. Sometimes reviews are just hard to write. Bottom line: Did I enjoy this book? Yes and No. Perhaps it was because I was reading this book at the height of COVID19. Perhaps it's just the book. I'm not sure.
I had read Kristen Welch's blog a LONG time ago, before she was as influential as she is now. Perhaps it was simply a different time. This was the first book I had read of hers.
In Made to Move Mountains, Kristen shares some of what is on her current blog, the story of Mercy House (her organization to free pregnant women from slavery), fair trade and helping immigrants. She also dabbles in what she has shared in the past concerning her marriage, and some of her family life. Kristen does share that this book was a hard book to write, and I don't expect her to share all of her secrets, but when as author writes that she is going to through trials, but cannot explain more, I relate it to telling someone, I have a secret but I'm not telling you. In that case, don't even bring it up.
The focus of Made to Move Mountains is just that. The mountains in Kristen's life and how God has and will move them. Or she will climb them. Perhaps the most impactful writing for me, was when Kristen shared sending her daughter off to college and the affect that had on her, and the wisdom and insight that Kristen gained as a mother through that experience.
I'm not sure I've read a book before that quotes more authors than this book. There was even an author quoted within another author quote. Kristen goes from quoting Tim Keller to John Piper to Joel Osteen. (All within a few pages!)
Bottom line: Would I recommend this book? Yes and No. I would encourage you to read this for yourself and decide about Made to Move Mountains. Was there thought provoking material? Yes. Did it offer hope? Sometimes. Some of Made to Move Mountains was more focused on Kristen's mountains than moving them.
I would encourage you to read the book for yourself and decide. I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review.
