Conquer Your Mountains is a 52-week devotional for Christian professionals who want to make a difference and see life from a higher perspective. It contains contemplative prayers, self-reflection exercises, thought provoking messages and a fictional allegory of a spiritual journey with God.

As the reader engages with each of the 52 weeks in this devotional, a deep transformational work will begin that may positively change the readers’ outlook on God, life, finance, work, relationships, purpose, and everything else.
