Description: From the author of the beloved hymn "More Love to Thee, O Christ," this newly released classic rings true for today's women, young and old. "How dreadfully old I am getting! Sixteen!" writes Katherine in her brand-new journal on January 15, 1831. Her heartfelt words mark the start of your own unforgettable journey following Katherine as her life unfolds from sweet sixteen to her grown-up later years. As she learns that true happiness is found in giving oneself to others, you, too, will be immeasurably encouraged to step heavenward -- to live with greater godliness, humility, tranquility, and hope. - Back cover.
