I knew when I read this book the first time that it would not be my last read. So, here I am again. Stepping Heavenward was written in 1869 and is the story of one girls process of sanctification. The account begins when she is 16 years old and unsaved. She is well aware of her sin and yet struggles with a lack a desire to mortify it. Through conversations with her dear pastor, his wife and her mother, she begins to understand what it is to follow the Lord. The story follows her throughout her life as she grows in grace and truth.
I do not know about everyone else, until the day I read Romans 7 and found I was not the only one who struggled again my flesh to do the things of the Father, I was in awe! I was just a teenager, but it was quite a load off of my heart! Through the years since that time the Lord has patiently and lovingly continued to guide me to Him...stepping heavenward.
