Stepping Heavenward by Mrs. Elizabeth Prentiss

 

I have been transcribing old literature and wanted to bring the writings into a series of books.  I am focusing on the works of Mrs. Elizabeth Prentiss right now.  Her stories have greatly encouraged and inspired me.   Years ago, I created a 90 - day Bible Study / Devotional which included readings from "Stepping Heavenward." This study has now been expanded with special features and is available in  paperback. 

Today, I would like to present the first book in our series of reprints:

  "Stepping Heavenward" was written by Mrs. Elizabeth Prentiss. 

  We have just published a classic edition, from "The Legacy of Home Press." 

It is available in both paperback and hardcover.  Both editions are 295 pages.  The hardcover edition is especially sturdy and beautiful and will make an excellent addition to any home library.  

*Updated, January 2024: It is now available in Kindle as well. You will find the link at the end of this post.*

  Here is a description and information about our edition:

"A beautiful Christian story written as a fictitious journal to inspire readers to holy and joyful living. You will read about a young lady who grows in Christian character through the trials and joys of life. 

The story, centering around domestic life, begins when she is 16 years old and goes on for many years, through marriage and motherhood, up to close to her death. Her story is wholesome, instructive, convicting, and encouraging. 

This edition is republished from the 1900 book and was written by Mrs. Elizabeth Prentiss (1818 - 1878). She was the daughter of a New England clergyman, and the wife of a minister. She was the mother of six children and the author of several inspiring stories, including "Aunt Jane's Hero," and "The Little Preacher." Her writings continue to encourage and bless readers all over the world." 

 

 

- "Special features of the current edition, published by The Legacy of Home press, include:

1.) George Prentiss (the author's husband) wrote the introduction to the book in 1899. This edition includes both his "sketch of the author" and "story of the book," which are a blessing to read.
 

2.) Mrs.White has written a foreword to the book.
 

3.) The cover photo was taken by Mrs. White and shows some of the scenery of Vermont. The Prentiss family built a house in Dorset, Vermont in 1869. This was where Mrs. Prentiss spent her last 10 summers."
