About the Book
In A Fork in the Road, Ronald E. Bergmann tells the story of his life. Born in late 1937 in Wisconsin, he passed through his early childhood during World War II. His boyhood interests included both music and scouting. He garnered scouting’s highest honor and became an Eagle Scout. His college years led him to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in industrial education and, later, a Master of Education Degree.
Like most people, Ronald Bergmann found himself standing at crossroads as he made his way along the journey of his life. The worst of these times of challenge, pain, and sadness marked a fork in the road. As he contemplated what to do, a friend shared with him the joy and healing and strength that poured forth from the light of Jesus Christ. As his friend assured him, “You are a Christian, you believe in Jesus, and as long as you have the light of Christ in you, you will never be alone!”
A Fork in the Road tells the author’s story as a work of personal history, a reflection on an era, and a source of inspiration for others who find themselves standing before a fork in the road and wondering which path to take.
