The river's current runs swiftly on the Mississippi River. Just ask Rosalie Heffelfinger Hall--she experienced it firsthand.
In 1984, Rody and Ted Hall boarded the lobster boat Claire and headed out for a voyage down the length of the river. Maybe trying to capture some of the Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn myth, the two readied themselves for adventure. What they discovered was the kindness and mercies of God and His people along the way.
Rody searched her life as they trailed the muddy waters and recalled anecdotes which groomed her into the adult she had become. From an alcoholic father to bouts of cancer, God had brought her into a life of significance. She searched for His purpose for the remainder of her days.
The autobiographical book recounts the journey as well as the personal spiritual growth that led Mrs. Hall to become an Episcopal priest.
Armchair Interviews says: Hall's vivid descriptions and candid comments in A River Echoes in My Ministry give a reader true insight into her soul searching.
