I turned to my favorite book of all time, Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss. This is the third time I am reading it and it is one of those books that I have marked up, underlined and starred certain quotes and sections (which I don't normally do). If you are looking for truth, love, Jesus and even some laughs, this is your book. It was written in the 19th century by Elizabeth Prentiss, who also wrote the hymn, "More Love to Thee, O Christ.
One of my favorite parts is during a conversation between Katy and her mother. Katy has been restless in her relationship with the Lord and her mother says, "The only true way to live in this world, constituted just as we are, is to make all of our employments subserve the one great end and aim of existence, namely, to glorify God and enjoy Him forever."
If you have read this book, I would love to know what you thought of it!

You KNOW how much I love this book! It is absolutely a classic that every Christian woman needs to read at least once in her life. I too have read it several times and each time, I learn something new about myself and God. It's a book that will never grow old! this is also a great book for a book club discussion. I love it!
Have not read it but maybe I should! Thanks for the recommendation! I would love to hear any others that you like...I am a big reader too!
