Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Prentiss, known commonly as E. Prentiss, was an American author and devout Christian, most famous for her novel 'Stepping Heavenward' (1869). Born in Portland, Maine, on October 26, 1818, to the Reverend Edward Payson, a prominent pastor, Prentiss was exposed to the tenets of evangelical Christianity at an early age, which deeply influenced her writings. The narrative of 'Stepping Heavenward' is a didactic tale encapsulating the spiritual journey of its protagonist, Katherine Mortimer, which resonates with the trials and triumphs of Christian life. This semi-autobiographical novel showcases Prentiss's narrative dexterity and insight into the complexities of spiritual growth. The book found wide acclaim and became a popular devotional text among Christians, illumining the path to piety through its relatable portrayal of a woman's life. Prentiss's literary style intertwines reflective journal entries and didactic dialogues, a method that endears her work to readers who appreciate a personal, intimate approach to storytelling. Besides her writing, Prentiss was an ardent advocate for deeper Christian living, which she promulgated not just through her books but also through her active engagement in religious and charitable work. Prentiss passed away on August 13, 1878, but her literary contributions, especially 'Stepping Heavenward', continue to impact readers with their timeless spiritual messages and inspirational warmth.
