Written by the author of “More Love to Thee, O Christ,” this charming fictional journal follows a nineteenth-century girl from her sixteenth birthday to her last entries in her forties. Elisabeth Elliot says it is the story of “learning day by day...that deep happiness is found not in seeking fulfillment for oneself, but in a glad and free self-offering for the sake of others.”
This set also includes a study guide by Carol Kirstner which she compiled to help women of God gain the greatest possible benefit from Elizabeth Prentiss’ wonderful book Stepping Heavenward. Many women have been blessed by reading Katy Mortimer’s journal, and this study guide has been constructed in such a way as to cause readers to go to the Scriptures that she loved so much. Profound truths about wordliness, relationships, suffering, and faith are studied in depth, and quotes from classic writers on the subject are included. Most importantly, Carol Kirstner directs you into reflection and application in such a way that you will have a clear understanding of how God is helping you step heavenward.
