BOOK FOUR IN THE SHADOW SERIES: THE PARTISANS

K. Bruning wrote about The Partisans and Sabotage in Una Sancta of September, 1990:

“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, persecution, and executions were the order of 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 [the Netherlands] and to learn the practical value of their own confession . . ."

About the Author: Pieter Jongeling

Mr. Jongeling was born in the northern part of The Netherlands and studied to become a teacher. He indeed did teach for some years, but soon became the international correspondent of a Dutch newspaper. In 1942 he was arrested by the Germans and sent to a concentration camp. After the allied victory in 1945 he returned to The Netherlands and became one of the most important journalists and politicians in The Netherlands. For many years he was the editor of a Reformed Christian daily newspaper, in which he wrote most of his children's books as serials under the name Piet Prins. The first thing many people read when the newspaper arrived was these serials. In 1963 Mr. Jongeling became member of the Dutch parliament for the Reformed Political Alliance. One commentator mused: "What makes Jongeling such a remarkable parliamentarian? That's simple. The man works like a horse! He is always fully informed. When Jongeling speaks, the house listens."

Both as a journalist and a statesman, Pieter Jongeling knew himself bound by the inspired Word of God and as such his labour has born much fruit.
