WILD HOPE: A Missionary Journey to Africa and into the Untamed River of the Father's Love

by Peter Russell

This is the story of Peter Russell and his wife Tammy and the miraculous Kingdom breakthroughs they got to be a part of while living amongst the Maasai of East Africa—a people of remarkable strength, beauty, and tradition; …a people they have given themselves to for over 34 years.

But it’s also a deeply personal story—one of fear and missionary burnout that exposed Peter’s brokenness and distorted view of God, setting him on a journey of discovering God as Father and experiencing His lavish and abundant love, shifting his identity from servant to son.

This is a story for anyone who wonders, “Does God really work through people like us?"
