Inside, you'll find a one-of-a-kind hidden bible theme park with the biggest ten commandments in the world. A devine set of stairs leads straight up Ten Commandment Mountain past an inspiring oversized set of commandments set into the perfectly manicured lawn of the mountainside.

At the top, a mega-sized 30-foot marble bible whose letters may seem taller than you are.

On the opposing mountain face, you'll find Prayer Mountain, where you'll pass 29 tablets as you ascend to the top. Each contains a teaching for you to ponder on the 321 steps to the top of Prayer Mountain.

The creators of Fields of the Wood built a replica of the tomb Jesus was laid to rest in. The tomb itself isn't the point; the point is the door to the tomb is ajar, meaning Jesus has risen.

There's so much to see and do in this free theme park. The average visit takes at least 2 hours. Visit the Flags of the World Cross, it's located (you probably guessed it) on top of a hill. After, climb the steps to view the Psalms of Praise (shown below).

We're pretty sure this is the only theme park in North Carolina that has its own Baptismal Pool. It sits next to the garden tomb.

And who wouldn't be moved by the shrubbery message in front of the Golgotha replica? It says "Jesus Died For Our Sins."
