Mount Elbrus and Mount Kosciuszko tells of the courage and preparedness required at any age for tackling the toughest seven mountains of the world. But the author has much more in store for readers: the warmth of a real person attempting something very challenging, the telling of an experience as much spiritual as physical, all with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor. This book is the kind of read that makes you feel like you are there during the climbs, the encounters, the nights, the weather, and much more. Walter Glover worked as a professional, award-winning journalist and also holds a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies. He is also a certified grief counselor. When not out on a mountaineering expedition, Walter’s volunteer activities include providing bereavement support to three groups, including bereft parents. One reviewer says: “Walter tells of his experiences at Mounts Everest and Kilimanjaro from the perspective, not of a professional climber caught up in the technical aspects, but rather as a man of faith engaged in both a physical and spiritual journey. This book is comfortable to read, as though Walter were sitting in your living room, having a personal conversation with you. Readers will find it hard to put the book down, his journey pushing you ever forward. Especially beautiful and insightful is his recognition of the pervading presence of God both in nature and in the people he meets along the way. A wonderful book for the individual reader, but one which easily could be used in a group discussion setting.” This is one of the best mountaineering books you can read, making you feel like part of the expedition!
