A View Of The Ocean (QuakerBooks)

A View Of The Ocean

BY JAN DE HARTOG

Brief Description:
Friend Hartog writes here of his mother. She devoted herself to her egocentric husband's religious calling. During their marriage this woman's only concern was to enable her husband to hearken to "the voice of God." After his death she continued his work and her courage became evident during her World War II internment in a Japanese camp in the Dutch East Indies, when she managed to arrange a cease-fire between the Dutch Army and Indonesian guerillas. Finally, she was faced with the ultimate test of her spirit: a diagnosis of a cancer too far advanced for treatment. De Hartog tells us how his mother's blazing courage through it all inspired his own spiritual awakening.
