To Jason Snow, achieving happiness was about obtaining big things: big careers, big homes, big cars, big bank accounts, and a big ego. Ironically, these choices achieved the exact opposite. He hates his job, his relationship with his wife is hanging by a thread, and worst of all, he feels disgusted at the thought that his kids are suffering because of choices he’s made.

Just as The Peacegiver taught us valuable lessons of love and forgiveness, Snow Rising is the story of an unhappy man who ventures up the steep slope of Mount Hood in hopes of finding a source of peace. While ascending 14,000 feet he comes to embrace four truths taught to him by the mountain guide that penetrate on the way down and change Jason Snow forever.

In a country where happiness is perceived as a product of status, wealth, social acceptance, appearance, and love is considered a self-centered term, Snow Rising wrestles with the question: how can I find lasting peace in my life, family, and community? The lessons Jason learns will surprise you, but they have the power to put individuals back together, revitalize marriages and families, and help recover fractured organizations.
