All The Way To Heaven

For 50 years, in best-selling books and memorable articles, Elizabeth Sherrill has written the stories of people like Corrie ten Boom, Brother Andrew and David Wilkerson.

Now, for the first time, she shares her personal pilgrimage. "This book," she writes, "is about discovery -- the discovery of a secret. It's the story of how heaven, which I used to think of as an imaginary realm-in-the-sky, has become more real to me than the ground beneath my feet. Real in the past, real in the future, and best of all, real right now."

In memorable episodes, Elizabeth reviews the three stages of her awakening faith - stages she believes we all experience. Heaven Behind Me, in her case the thirty-some years when heaven was no more than a self-deluding fairy tale. Heaven Around Me, where she lives now amid always-partial, always-thrilling glimpses of God. Heaven Before Me, her moving speculations on the eternal future.

"The book is an invitation," Elizabeth says, "an invitation to us all to look back, to look ahead, and to look around, and keep discovering the secret for ourselves."
