Stepping Heavenward

Description

Written as a series of deeply personal journal entries, Stepping Heavenward traces the spiritual growth of Katherine, a young woman navigating life’s joys, sorrows, and struggles with a longing to draw closer to God. As readers follow her from impetuous girlhood through marriage, motherhood, suffering, and spiritual awakening, they’re invited into the intimate thoughts of a soul being slowly shaped by grace.

Originally published in the 19th century, this beloved classic offers timeless encouragement for those seeking a life of faith and purpose. In the thoughtful introduction by her husband, Rev. George L. Prentiss, readers gain insight into Elizabeth Prentiss’ own character and convictions—qualities that shine through every page of her heroine’s journey.

Now, over a century later, Stepping Heavenward remains strikingly relevant. Its honest portrayal of spiritual ups and downs, of learning through failure, and of growing in selflessness resonates just as deeply today. Whether read devotionally or as a story of transformation, this book gently inspires readers to press onward, upward—stepping heavenward.
