But nowhere can one find the actual source…
The author of the “step up the stairs” quotation is indeed Vance Havner, the American Revivalist minister. For the full citation, see my “Dr. Mardy’s Dictionary of Metaphorical Quotations” (DMDMQ): http://www.drmardy.com/dmdmq/v (scroll down to VISION)
Thank you!
