Stepping Heavenward is the personal journal of a nineteenth century Christian woman from the age of sixteen until just before her death.  She struggles with ordinary daily life just as we do. Her life is a constant endeavor to "step heavenward" as she deals with disappointment, heartache, and tragedy. You'll find it hard to believe that this journal has not been written with your own pen! This treasure of womanly wisdom is crucial for any woman with a heart's desire to know God.

“It is the story of the shaping of a soul—of her learning day by day, in the seemingly insignificant little events of an ordinary life, that deep happiness is found, not in seeking fulfillment for oneself, but in a glad and free self-offering for the sake of others” [Elisabeth Elliot].

Leave behind the mediocrity of modern-day Christianity, and discover the challenge of giving More Love to Thee, O Christ—in the words of the author’s famous hymn. If you can only buy one book, let this be the book! This is a very eye-opening and inspirational read - full of encouragement and absolute love and devotion to Christ.  You will want to read it again and again over the years because it contains so many life-changing gems for males as well as females, young and old.
