...stirs the heart and soul in deep ways. 

This book is like Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress only in that they are both allegories that give a wonderful overview and perspective of the Christian life.  

But Hinds Feet in High Places has much more heart, and I found it to stir the heart and soul in deep ways.  It is the story of Much-Afraid leaving the Valley of Fear that she has always known, and embarking on a journey to become a new creation.

...talks about the deepest longings and fears of our hearts in following God...

The thing about this book is that it talks about the deepest longings and fears of our hearts in following God--following Him when we can't see ahead of us, when we feel like we're going in circles, when we feel like He is not taking us where we want to go, and how following Him can mean laying down the deepest desires of our hearts just because God asks us to, and we know Him to be good and loving. I enjoyed this book immensely, and found it both challenging and filled with grace; which is a rare find in Christian books which often offer only one or the other. 

This is a book that I will probably read every couple of years...

read every couple of years, as I am at different places in my own journey, and will always see something new that I didn't see before. It is well worth investing in.
