Dear friend and sister in Christ from Delft, Netherlands.

Hartelijk bedankt

for years of loyal support, active assistance, manuscript reviews, and the beauty of an honest heart for God.

Martha Doolittle

Dear firstborn daughter who grew up partly in Pieter-Lucas and Aletta’s country, always a bit under the influence of

Willem van Oranje.

Thank you, my dear,

for learning well the ways of Holland, literature, and prayer, then for using

your expertise in all three to help me

polish this book.
