Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 4th Jun 2026 — Explora Books will present The Mountain of Miracles by Cleous G. Young at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, held June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Centered on spiritual awakening and the enduring power of community, this inspirational novel follows the journey of a young boy, David, and his ailing grandfather. Published in 2025 by ARPress and illustrated by Robert Schoolcraft, The Mountain of Miracles draws readers into a transformative narrative about faith, redemption, and personal growth.
What begins as a daily search for herbal medicine on a mountain’s slopes leads the pair to a hidden village founded on principles of brotherly love, mutual respect, and shared faith. Unknown to the world below, this extraordinary community becomes the setting for a story of spiritual awakening, divine gifting, moral failure, and redemption.
A central feature of the novel is its portrayal of village life. The mountain community is more than a backdrop to the story. Young depicts its vine-built shelters, riverside baptisms, communal meals, and shared responsibilities, all guided by Shaheim’s leadership, who refuses to place himself above any other villager. Governed by equality, generosity, and collective purpose, the village serves as the foundation for many of the novel’s lessons about faith and community.
At the heart of the story is David’s emergence as an artist. An early sketch inspired by a dream develops into a gift that earns the admiration of those around him. His drawings capture the life of the village through family portraits, scenes of daily work, animals, harvests, and community gatherings. Young explores how this talent is nurtured through faith, encouragement, and responsibility, eventually becoming a defining element of David’s personal journey.
The narrative also traces David’s gradual moral decline. As greed takes hold, his relationships begin to unravel, including his bond with his grandfather. His growing isolation eventually leads to the loss of the artistic gift that once defined him. The story follows his long path toward repentance and renewal, illustrating how personal transformation often emerges through reflection, perseverance, and humility rather than sudden change.
Woven throughout the novel are themes of faith, healing, personal responsibility, and the power of community to support reconciliation. A recurring proverb introduced by David’s grandfather—“Learning has no age limit”—serves as a guiding principle throughout the story, connecting its characters across generations and reinforcing the novel’s message that growth and renewal remain possible at every stage of life.
At the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, Explora Books will showcase The Mountain of Miracles as part of its international presentation of works that explore spiritual growth, personal transformation, and the values that unite communities.
The Mountain of Miracles is available through Amazon and other major digital bookstores. For more information, visit www.cleousyoung.com and www.themountainofmiracles.com.
