About this listen

A groundbreaking book for Christians who are committed to their relationship with God but are experiencing disillusionment in their faith journey, No Elevator to Everest offers spiritual practices and perspectives that integrate emotional health, self-awareness, and a deeper connection with God’s heart.

Will Acuff shares his vulnerable journey from deep despair to radiant joy in this compelling call for us to move beyond our tired assumptions about God and into a life lived in daily joy. This transformative book offers nothing less than a new way of engaging with Christ, yourself, and others. No Elevator to Everest invites you to discover:

  • A liberated self-understanding as you see how Christianity embraces both the knowledge of self and the knowledge of God
  • Encouragement and resilience for your own circumstances as you read one family’s story of experiencing God’s tenderness in the midst of clinical depression, trauma, and disability
  • Daily practices to move you from rare “mountaintop” experiences or stale frameworks to everyday heart-level connections with God
  • Joy that is not dependent on what is happening to you but flourishes from what is happening in you

With a refreshing emphasis on emotional health, Spirit-led self-awareness, and intimacy with God, No Elevator to Everest guides us beyond mere survival into a life of soul-deep peace and spiritual thriving.

I’m halfway though the audiobook and I want to buy the paperback, so I can highlight passages throughout as well as write some of them down on my whiteboard in my office. So many good concepts for how to navigate struggle. This book is for everyone.

Update: I consider this a guidebook to letting yourself feel feelings, acknowledging and getting curious about those feelings to flesh them out in order to chase more joy in the day.

Every word in this book feels earned. Every story a visceral reminder that sometimes we need to understand our emotions in order to carry a responsibility that was more than we anticipated. Every practice recommended is a lived experience. I have been on my own emotional journey for a decade, and I still picked up several new insights and tools that will help me grow as an individual.

Listening to this audiobook felt like being part of a conversation. I didn't say much, but I was sad when it was over. Thank you for never giving up, and sharing your hard lessons with others
