For fifty years, in best-selling books and memorable articles, Elizabeth Sherrill has written the stories of people like Corrie ten Boom and David Wilkerson. Now, for the first time, she shares her personal pilgrimage. With honesty, humor, and insight, Elizabeth traces her journey from an agnostic upbringing, through clinical depression, to a stunning encounter with God. Only in looking back, she writes, can any of us discern that "all the way to heaven is heaven" -- because Jesus is the Way. In vivid episodes, Elizabeth takes you through the three stages of her awakening faith. "Heaven behind Me," the thirty-some years when "heaven" was no more than a wishful fairy tale. "Heaven around Me," where she lives now amid always-partial, always-thrilling glimpses of God. "Heaven before Me," her inspiring vision of her eternal future. With Elizabeth's rare literary finesse, this spiritual journey will touch you as no other book has.
