The Hills Of Vincere Ridge

Contemporary issues and controversial topics are tackled in a book for our times! Today, our culture so easily sways the hearts and minds of our children, our teens, and even ourselves, encouraging us to embrace the world's views on contemporary issues such as homosexuality, same-sex marriage, and gay adoption. How can Christians combat the culture's pull and, instead, draw toward an accurate biblical response that balances the grace of God with the truth of His Word? Answer: Through the magnetic power of story. Life is anything but easy for fourteen year-old Jason Collins. Adopted and raised by a same-sex couple, his standard school day consists of lingering stares, not-so-subtle whispers, and outright bullying. His only escape, hours of quiet solitude working on his golf swing. Then one weekend, hearing the words of Jesus--Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest--Jason comes, trusting those words to prove true. Life, however, gets infinitely more difficult. While his moms struggle with his decision to trust Christ, a publicity-seeking pastor manipulates the teen into petitioning for new legal guardians, setting off a firestorm of protests, picketing, and media baiting. Enter TJ Lanter, a former professional golfer still working to overcome his own tragic past. Together, the two use their shared love of golf to create a bond that enables both to see through their pain and discover how the power of Christ truly changes lives. Let The Hills of Vincere Ridge immerse you in its story, placing you alongside the characters in their quest to grasp how the God of grace and truth would have us all reflect His heart in today's culture.
