Hope Fulfilled

About the Book

When John Bergen’s family bought a farm in the remote Strzelecki Ranges, they had no idea it would start them on a journey of discovery beyond their wildest dreams. Along the way, they gained friends and battled crooks, became captivated by the ranges’ natural beauty, and received a rare glimpse into the fast-fading world of the isolated local culture. John Bergen’s candid story is one of heartbreak and triumph, mistakes and forgiveness, loss and renewal. And through it all, John maintains a steadfast certainty that God is in control and always right beside him. That is, until he’s confronted with circumstances that cause him to question his deepest convictions. At such a time, when faith is shaken and hope is faint, John learns the true value of perseverance.
