A Saved Young Life Now in Heaven

"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven." Matthew 5:16 "It's all about Jesus." In November of 2009, during a lucid interval in a hospital room, Stephanie Bell was urgently writing on her blanket with her right index finger. When given a pen and paper to decipher what she was writing, she repeatedly scrawled that sentence, superimposing it on one spot on the paper. That was one of the final sentences and the underlying message of her prolific writing career. Stephanie Bell accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at age 10 and went to Heaven at age 20. She was baptized during her teens. A multigifted, prolific novelist, poet, essayist, author of several installments of fan fiction, this accomplished musician, dancer and artist gives her testimony and proclaims the Gospel, telling her story of the trials and triumphs of adolescence and ultimately, a ravaging disease, in this collection of her essays, prose, poetry and blogs presented largely in chronological order. Stephanie proclaimed Jesus on this earth for as long as she was able, using every ounce of strength that she drew from the Lord. Her "High School Graduation Speech" inspired people across the state. "My 30th Birthday" is instructive; its poignancy, inescapable. This is a portrait of a young woman's vulnerability, yet courage and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ.
