Learn How to Blossom into a Christian Woman Who Chases after God Ranked among the 100 best Christian fiction books of all time at GoodReads.com. 
“This book is a treasure of both godly and womanly wisdom told with disarming candor and humility, yet revealing a deep heart's desire to know God. … I do not hesitate to recommend it to men, who need to understand the wives they live with, and to any woman who wants to walk with God.” -- Elisabeth Elliot. 
What if a girl began journaling about her triumphs and trials at age 16 -- and continued to do so until the final days of her life? That’s the idea behind the classic Christian book Stepping Heavenward, in which young Katherine blossoms from a rebellious teenager who frustrates her mom into a mature Christian woman who chases after God’s heart. 
Through journal entries about her daily life, we experience her courtship, her marriage, her raising of multiple children, and -- in the final pages -- her reflections on life. We also learn numerous nuggets of wisdom gained from a life of joy and sorrow.
“One must either stop reading the Bible altogether, or else leave off spending one’s whole time in just doing easy pleasant things one likes to do,” Katherine writes. 
Much of the book mirrors the life of Prentiss, who -- like Katherine -- experienced the tragic deaths of multiple family members and grew closer to God during the process. 
Prentiss wrote this book 150 years ago, yet the challenges faced and the lessons learned still ring true today. Katherine begins her journal on Jan. 15, 1831, and pens her final entry on June 30, 1859, shortly before her own death. 
Stepping Heavenward is for teenagers, young adults and seasoned citizens who want to grow closer to God.
It is for lovers of fiction and non-fiction who want to be entertained and inspired, convicted and challenged. It is for anyone who desires to grow in their sanctification. It is for every Christian. 
Take a leap forward in your Christian journey and learn from a legend by picking up this timeless classic today.

In this modern translation of a vintage favorite, watch Suzy enjoy celebrating her birthdays as she grows from a baby to six years old. Whatever surprise happens, Little Suzy joyfully spends her special days with family and friends while learning to be thankful for all that God has given her. She learns to love God with all her heart, and knows that Jesus is her best friend. This is a perfect bedtime story for parents to share a chapter or two with their children each night. Its serene nature has a quieting effect on busy little minds. The “Little Susy Books”, originally written by Elizabeth Prentiss in the 1850’s, were very popular among children and parents alike. They taught children important lessons with tenderness and love. Elizabeth longed to see people loving God as much as she did and this is apparent in all her works, from children’s books to adult fiction, hymns to poetry. Please review if you like this book so that other parents will check it out.
