Ryan Shelton’s faith in God and love of writing both grew from a young age, but it wasn’t until adulthood when he decided to put the two together with his first novel The Mentor. It was then that he realized this outreach ministry.

As a high school English teacher for the last fifteen years, Ryan has seen it as his mission to help his students in their daily struggles. With his novels, Ryan realized he could reach outside the walls of his classroom to minister to teens with issues like peer pressure, alcohol and drug abuse, and even suicidal thoughts. His mission in life is to show others that through Christ, all things are possible.

The Mentor is Ryan’s first published novel and The Captain is his second.
