Whispers from the Mountains is a collection of poems based on the ethereal beauty of Arunachal Pradesh, a state located in the far northeastern part of India, where the sun first makes it first entrance in the country kissing the gleaming peaks of the high rugged mountains of the state. It is a collection of poems which more or less relate to the amazing vistas of the Himalayan state and the effects of modernism creeping into that fabled land of our forefathers. The poems are mostly an expression of the celebration of nature, of life, and living in today's world.

I know You Have To Leave I know you have to leave when the sky turns amber and gold. But when all is green. When you come back, I may be to old. When the last geese fly into the south away from the northern light. I shall give you a compass and a candle to find me in the night.

Tom Reed follows up on his earlier devotionals to highlight the Word of God in Whispers from the Mountain. The devotionals are short and saturated with references from Scripture and extensive commentary to help you walk with the Lord. The book begins by asking you to imagine that there is a knock on your door, and instead of an unwanted salesman or neighbor, it’s God. He writes, “God often sent angels as messengers to convey an important message. The angel, Gabriel, was sent from God to visit a virgin named Mary, and coming in, he said to her, ‘Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.’” (Luke 1:26–28) “Sometimes God talks directly to Man. God and Moses had their first conversation through a burning bush. God and the soon to be great prophet, Isiah, had a conversation without an angel or bush. Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!” (IS 6:8). The emphasis of the book are the pillars of Christianity, with ten devotionals under each pillar. A tenth section titled “Stones” serves as a catch-all to recognize other potential pillars. By using this book in tandem with your personal Bible, you’ll be encouraged to dig deeper into God’s Word, paving the way to develop a stronger bond and closer relationship with Him.
