The quotes in this book are designed to help you avoid self-imposed adversities by always thinking first of your options before your actions, in order to avoid permanent irreversible adverse consequences. The choices you make or fail to make will always impact the outcome of your future. A thousand thoughts before you act, is better than a thought after the fact, because it will be too late to react. Too many people impose adverse consequences on themselves and others by failing to think before they act. When you create a world of hate, you create a world stage for others to react in kind. You should always be mindful of your irreversible social media content before it is sent because it will be too late to retract after the fact. You will always have failure when you resort to inappropriate behavior. The best way to avoid self-imposed adversities is to think before you act, because your adverse past will always last, and impact the outcome of your future. When the gun becomes your voice it always sends a deadly message with innocent victims paying the ultimate price because of your gun vice.

A Mountaintop View of Faith is an anointed, truthful and empowering book on God's promise, your faith, and victory over everyday adversity. It is a hard hitting, provocative, and exhilarating work written to empower, especially believers, to deepen their faith and be encouraged even facing seemingly impossible adversities. Maldon states that adversities will always be a part of life and he contends that Satan desires to ultimately crush our resolve, hinder our promises from God, and weaken our faith in the sufficiency of God. He points out that adversities may be two-fold: trials appointed by God, or those self inflicted, resulting from our rebellion against God's spiritual instructions. He skillfully teases out how self imposed cripplers such as anger, un-forgiveness, selfishness, disobedience, pride, immorality, worry and others can rob you of peace and promises from God. Maldon encourages us to deepen our faith to reach a pinnacle mountaintop perspective of God.
