Anna's Journey
Author: Elroy Haverlah
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781494253783
Category : Round Rock (Tex.)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In a bold response to what he was absolutely convinced was a call from God to become a pastor to the Swedish immigrants in America, Gustaf Berglund courageously sets out on an adventure he could not have imagined possible. Based on a true historical figure from the 1890's, this novel traces the journey of Berglund as he says goodbye to his beloved Sweden and sets sail for an unknown world beyond the horizon. His journey also proves to be a spiritual one, with hard lessons and surprises along the way. First he is hit with some unexpected reactions from loved ones when he announces his decision to become a pastor. His convictions are further shaken when he realizes the vast amount of academic preparations that are required. Finally, he must decide whether or not to accept his assignment to serve where he did not want to go. Even after he moves to his first church, he questions his desire to remain when he encounters some unpleasant situations. The rude living conditions, the strict moral requirements, the financial sacrifices, and the challenging life on the Texas countryside assail him constantly, forcing him to reassess his commitment. Gustaf Berglund is representative of the many pioneer pastors who bore their crosses in sacrificial service to their struggling young congregations and their newly-adopted country. How was the church different in the 19th century? What was required of its pastors and their families? What has remained unchanged across the generations? Finally, what lessons can we learn from the experiences of Berglund and other pastors like him? They were true spiritual veterans who served their country by providing a moral compass for America in its formative years, and providing nourishment for the faith of those who settled the New World.
