Ruth Ann Halteman's Newly Released "Adventures of Ana: By the Grace of God" Is a Heartfelt Exploration in a Life Who Has Grown to Be Led by God's Light Over the Years

MEADVILLE, Pa., July 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Adventures of Ana: By the Grace of God": a faith-filled life told in narratives that tell the story of the author in her journey of encountering different people and facing different circumstances that shaped her life in the long run. "Adventures of Ana: By the Grace of God" is the creation of published author Ruth Ann Halteman, a registered nurse and an active member in her local church with women's groups, and with the homeless shelter. In the past couple years, she was part of a committee composed of several churches for the purpose of sponsoring a Syrian refugee family to the states. She was personally involved in their adjustment period to the United States and was active in assisting with medical and dental appointments and transportation for mostly the mother and two of the children.

Halteman writes, "Graduation from high school in 1968 was a turning point for Ann, the author who was known by her middle name during school years.

"Ann was experiencing a lot of conflicting thoughts and emotions during that day. There was the excitement of graduation, yet there was a great sadness about leaving those friends who she saw daily during school years. What about the future? She was working at a coat factory part-time during high school and was given full-time hours upon graduation. What about further studies? Ann was pessimistic about the future as she lacked confidence and poor self-esteem and needed lots of encouragement to step out of this rut!

"During her high school years, Ann gave her life to Jesus as Lord and Savior and was growing in her faith. With God's help, those feelings of inadequacy and lack of confidence began to change little by little.

"By nature, Ann was always a caring, adventurous young girl and cared a lot about the people who crossed paths with her. This grew as she matured in faith which led her to her pastor soon after graduation to seek volunteer service through the church.

"One path led to another, and with each experience, the author grew in faith and in confidence. From a frightened young girl who couldn't look anybody in the eye without crying, by the grace of God, was able to eventually become part of a small faith-based mission who required its missionaries to raise their own support by speaking to churches and organizations. By the grace of God, she eventually was led to Brazil, South America, to work as a missionary.

"Ann became Ana in Brazil which is the Brazilian name for Ann. The adventures continued for Ana, but there were many unplanned changes in direction. God's grace has been evident throughout the years. The direction that God chooses isn't always the easiest, but it's the best!

"He leads, teaches, encourages, and heals all by His grace. As you read the pages of this book, may you reflect upon how God's grace has guided in your life."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Ruth Ann Halteman's new book is a powerful reminder that leaves an important message to the readers that every single person is part of a bigger plan that God made for man.

The circumstances one faces do not just happen as all people are connected in a way that one person affects another and one choice alters another. And it's a good thing; for even the failures, disappointments, and chaos that comes with it—are the lessons that will guide us towards living a purposeful and faith-filled life.
