The Shadow Series: 1. The Lonely Sentinel

$21.75

Piet Prins

Age: 12-99

One of the most exciting series of a master story teller about the German occupation of The Netherlands during the emotional time of the Second World War (1940-1945).

Mary Pride said about the Shadow Series: "They are being read to shreds. We first read them ourselves. Then my husband read them to our kids."

BOOK ONE IN THE SHADOW SERIES: THE LONELY SENTINEL

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 (ie. as part of the Resistance); 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.

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.
