Author Dan H. Berriman shares a riveting tale of life in a South African mining town during a time of great change and even greater promises for the future. Enlightening and inspiring, Reverend Berriman shares his own personal journey on a path to salvation and political freedom.  

As South Africa struggles to find its new identity during the end of apartheid, a growing Christian faith, pitted against powerful race issues and persecution within the gold mining industry, creates a modern-day story of David and Goliath.  

Persecuted for his religious beliefs, Reverend Berriman went through periods of doubt, fear, and dark despair, questioning his faith in God and his purpose as a Christian. His fascinating eight-year journey takes him through a political rebirth of Africa, when the legendary Nelson Mandela was released from prison, as well as a rebirth of his own Christian faith.  

This is the story of one man’s experiences during the turbulent years in South Africa when institutionalized apartheid finally came to an end – a time when one man could make a difference.
