Hannah: Drugs, Despair, and the Dogged Grace of God - Paperback

by Elizabeth Ellen Ostring (Author)

Hannah is the true story of a woman who grew up in a dysfunctional family and overcame significant learning disabilities, drug addiction, and relationship tragedies to finally discover the power of Jesus Christ and her worth and purpose as a child of God. She found that religious ritual did not answer the yearning of her heart, and relationships were not an answer either. Against all odds she obtained a university degree in Chinese and thought she had found meaning in her teaching service for others. But robbed of this by severe ill health, she discovered true meaning comes from knowing God and being available for him to use to share the good news of Jesus with others.
