Ten years ago Kristen Welch founded Mercy House, a nonprofit organization that funds maternity homes for pregnant teens in Kenya. She does work that seems amazing and impossible to many. In this book, Kristen shares about some of the challenges, hardships, and fears she has faced over the last ten years. These “mountains” in her life are daunting, but her God is bigger, and He strengthens her and helps her to persevere even through her fears.

Made to Move Mountains is challenging and inspiring. Kristen encourages the reader to do the hard things, to climb the mountains, to not settle for an easy life. And she does so as a fellow weary traveler. In this book you will find a friend who understands your fears and hesitations. But you will also find a friend who challenges you to keep on keeping on, even when the looming mountains seem overwhelming.

Kristen reminds us that we are made to do hard things, not because we are capable in and of ourselves, but because we serve a mighty God. This book left me feeling inspired, challenged, and excited about facing the mountains God has placed in my life.

Once again, Kristen has used God's word and her personal experiences to shed light on some tough spaces. Made to Move Mountains is encouraging, convicting, and gives a transparent view into what obedience looks like. What a gift it has been to follow this writer over the past decade and learn from challenges, struggles and mountains she's faced while I've walked through some of the same things--marriage, parenting, following Jesus, serving others. I always finish Kristen's books feeling a renewed sense of energy to truly be Micah 6:8...act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God.
