#1 The Lonely
Sentinel by Piet Prins
A windmill standing guard over Dutch polders; the
miller’s family wrestling with death and treachery; innocent children playing adult games of secrecy and
intrigue; hapless refugees hounded by a merciless predator; the men of the Resistance, alert and dedicated .
. . often to the death.
Against them, the Hun and his Nazi-sympathizers.
In the balance: Religion, Freedom, and the House of Orange.

We first read them ourselves. Then my husband read them to our kids." |

"These two books belong
to each other and deal with situations in Holland during the emotional time of the Second World War,
1940-1945. The country was occupied by the German military forces. The nation’s freedom was destroyed
by the foreign men in power, violence, persecutions and executions were the order the day, and the main
target of the enemy was the destruction of the Christian way of life. In that time the resistance
movement of underground fighters became very active. People from all ages and levels joined in and
tried to defend the Dutch Christian heritage as much as possible. The above mentioned books show us how
older and younger people were involved in that dangerous struggle. It often was a life and death
battle. Every page of these books is full of tension. The stories give an accurate and a very vivid
impression of that difficult and painful time. These books should also be in the hands of our young
people. They are excellent instruments to understand the history of their own country and to learn the
practical value of their own confession and Reformed way of life. What about as presents on birthdays?" |
