What reading level is The Altar Steps book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Father Rowley was a very corpulent man with a voice of suchcompassion and with an eloquence so simple that when he ascended intothe pulpit, closed his eyes, and began to speak, his listenersinvoluntarily closed their eyes and followed that voice whithersoever itled them. He neither changed the expression of his face nor made use ofdramatic gestures; he scarcely varied his tone, yet he could keep acongregation breathlessly attentive for an hour. Although he seemed tobe speaking in a kind of tran...ce, it was evident that he was unusuallyconscious of his hearers, for if by chance some pious woman coughed orturned the pages of a prayer-book he would hold up the thread of hissermon and without any change of tone reprove her. It was strange towatch him at such a moment, his eyes still tightly shut and yet givingthe impression of looking directly at the offending member of thecongregation. This evening he was preaching about a naval disaster whichhad lately occurred, the sinking of a great battleship by another greatbattleship through a wrong signal.
