As the Heavens Are Higher

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."- Isaiah 55:9 Adelaide Westall had always believed that God's ways were higher than earthly ways. She had just always imagined that God's plan and her plan would have some similarities. A family of penniless orphans facing a hopeless future in a factory city-a heartbroken noblewoman shut up inside a forbidding fortress of grief and reserve-and a mysterious painting of a calm-faced pilgrim were all destined to challenge Adelaide's faith in unexpected ways. Only God could orchestrate a plan high enough to reach them all.Set amongst the rolling hills of the English border country, this story of Victorian life is a poignant reminder that we serve a God who brings light out of darkness, who works good out of evil, whose ways are higher than our ways-as the heavens are higher than the earth.
