An Invitation to the High Place

Hinds’ Feet on High Places is a story of endurance, persistence, and reliance on God. This book has inspired millions to become sure-footed in their faith – even when facing the rockiest terrain.

hannah hurnard
Having been, born into
The family of Fears
Much-afraid so withdrew
With trembling and tears

Countless days and most nights
Spent locked-up in her room
Dreaming of grander heights
Bid to replace the gloom

Are you willing to be changed?
The Chief Shepherd sang
I have much to offer you
In this great exchange

This seed of love is free
When planted in your heart
Fear shall in moments flee
And strength shall ne'er depart

my inspiration

This is the story of how Much-afraid escaped from her Fearing relatives and went with the Shepherd to the High Places where “perfect love casteth out fear.”

Most earnestly she longed to be completely delivered from these shortcomings and to be made beautiful, gracious, and strong as were so man of the Shepherd’s other workers, and above all to be made like the Chief Shepherd himself.

There was, however, another and even greater trouble in her life. She was a member of the Family of Fearings, and her relatives were scattered all over the valley, so that she could never really escape them.

“Oh, if only I could exit from this Valley of Humiliation altogether and go to the High Places, completely out of reach of all the Fearings and my other relatives.” No sooner were these words uttered when to her complete astonishment the Shepherd answered, “I have waited a long time to hear you make that suggestion, Much-afraid…. I could make make yours like hinds’ feet also, and set you upon the High Places…”
