Stepping Heavenward eBook

From the author who wrote the hymn ''More Love to Thee O Christ'' came the beloved novel Stepping Heavenward. Through the journal of Katherine Mortimer, we are taken on a journey that turns a hot-headed teenager into a self-reflective mother.

Katherine''s story begins on her 16th birthday when she receives the journal that helps her navigate the joy and pain life soon brings her. Early on, Katherine vows to continue writing despite any disgust she may feel by what she goes through. It is this conviction that sets the stage for the honest and heart-warming account of her life that is to follow.

As she faces the loss of a parent, the challenges of marriage, and the joy and heartache of being a mother, her path ultimately leads her closer to Christ. First published in 1869, the questions Katherine raises on the pages of her journal and the answers she receives, no matter how difficult, are still relevant today.

Author Elizabeth Payson Prentiss was known for writing from her own spirituality, and this is one of her most beloved novels.
