A Magnificent Journey
The Mountain of Gathering
This journey to Noah’s Ark was no easy task; some sacrificed their lives so others could make it. Outcasts among their own kind, the animals followed fragmented visions they didn’t understand, heeding the call of a mysterious mountain they had never been to, all in the midst of a global apocalypse.
The Mountain of Gathering
A Metaphorical Odyssey through the Scriptures with Commentary Notes
Publication Date: March, 2021
“This animated tale of Noah’s Ark is the untold backstory hiding between the lines of Genesis 7:14-15, about the animal’s epic journey to Noah’s Ark. This was no easy task; some sacrificed their lives so others could make it. Outcasts among their own kind, they left their homes. They traversed the ancient hostile world that was then, relentlessly pursued by enemies with danger around every corner, amidst a global apocalypse. Among the chosen were predator and prey who set aside their differences, and they couldn’t explain why. They followed fragmented visions they didn’t understand, heeding the call of a mysterious mountain they had never been to.”
This is a simple, entertaining children’s story on the surface, yet students of the Word will recognize it as a metaphor of metaphors, designed to introduce children to the themes, symbols, ethics, and wonderous beauty of the Word of God. The notes are written for parents or pastors to use as material for customized sermonettes that go with each chapter, connecting the story directly to the scriptures.
