This book was written by Elisabeth Prentiss back in the mid-1800's. The author is well known for her hymn "More Love To Thee". She has authored several books for adults and children alike, including Little Suzy Stories.
Her book Stepping Heavenward is one that most people can relate to. It's written like a diary starting from the girls teen years and going into her meeting her husband, problems during their marriage, and pretty much hits on everything that one may encounter during their lifetime.
It's not a drab religious book with doctrine and hard language, but a lovely story about a growing and maturing lady. Often when reading it, I found myself thinking that she was writing about me! It helps to see that you aren't alone in your troubles and it always gives a Godley guidance.
The book can be purchased online for around $4 plus shipping. Most of the ladies and teenage girls in our church have read it and loved it!
