Divine Direction

In Divine Direction – First Ascent, twenty-year-old Jake takes on an extraordinary challenge: climbing Mount Elbrus in the depths of winter.

With Matt by his side and a group of colourful first-time climbers around him, Jake expects an adventure. Instead, the mountain becomes the beginning of a much deeper journey.

As the group encounters secrets linked to WWII and the Battle of the Caucasus, unexpected connections, and whispers of geopolitical tension, the boundaries between adventure, history, mystery, and faith begin to blur.

What starts as a climb becomes a journey of courage, friendship, discovery, and divine direction.

About The Book

Jake is twenty years old and determined to climb a mountain. Not just any mountain—but Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Russia and Europe, in the depths of winter. With nothing but raw determination, a knack for impulsivity, and a head full of ADHD-fuelled energy, Jake sets out on the ultimate challenge. By his side is Matt—loyal, long-suffering, and highly sceptical. Unlike Jake, Matt didn’t sign up for danger, frostbite, or spiritual epiphanies at 18,000 feet.

Thrown together with a band of colourful first-time climbers, Jake discovers that this mountain may offer more than just a view from the top. There’s Alvin—the awkward, unlikely adventurer with secrets tied to WWII and the Battle of the Caucasus. There’s mystery, unexpected connections, and whispers of geopolitical tension.

As friendships are tested and legends resurface, the climb becomes more than physical—it’s a journey of faith, courage, and divine direction.
