Publisher's Description

"How dreadfully old I am getting! Sixteen!" So begins 'Stepping Heavenward' by Elizabeth Prentiss, the journal-like account of a nineteenth century girl who learns, on the path to womanhood, that true happiness can be found in giving oneself for others. "This book is a treasure of both Godly and womanly wisdom told with disarming candor and humility, yet revealing a deep heart's desire to know God," says noted Christian speaker Elisabeth Elliot. "I do not hesitate to recommend it to men, who need to understand the wives they live with, and to any woman who wants to walk with God."

A timeless book that reaches right to the heart of the Christian. I read it often and it always inspires me in my walk to draw closer to the Lord. A refreshing Biblical view of children as well :)

Stepping Heavenward
Elizabeth Prentiss
This is my favorite book of all time. I have given this to many people for it is a story that is worth sharing and a book I have read through many times. It is about a young woman and the life she lived written through her journal and some letters. It is so realistic that it seems real and is easy to forget that it is a work of fiction. It is filled with faith, life, death and family the core elements of what day to day life is. Unlike many stories this one move through a large part of her life, there are ups and downs. A book that feels so real it was as if you were peeking into someone's life.

This book is so inspirational. Besides the Bible, a strong contendor for my favorite over-all book. What a blessing to read! Katy starts the diary when she is 16 and continues it until her 40s, going through periods when she writes in it consistantly and 'dead spots' when she does not write frequently. Very realistic and a rare gem of a book!

Stepping Heavenward is unique - it is a diary format describing the beautiful transition a woman experiences throughout her life being sanctified through her faith in Christ. The setting, contemporary in its day, is in the late 1800's. It is a lovely, inspiring read. I highly recommend it and frequently give it as a gift to my friends.
