MAITLAND, FL— Sandra van der Bol’s new book Dockside ($16.99, paperback, 9781498495172;
$8.99, eBook, 9781498495189 ) is about love. It is about the surprises, the unfolding,
the testing, the joy, the pain, the adventure and the eternal bonds of true
love. Not only is it about the love between a man and a woman, but also about
the love of the Creator for us, His children, and the ways in which He
interacts with our earth experiences. In this weaving together of natural and
eternal realities, the tapestry of our lives becomes rich, colorful, purposeful
and filled with wonder. This book is an illustration of the mystery of love
played out in and through the lives of two ordinary, albeit adventurous and
ever learning people. In a way, the 'secret' of this love is summed up in
Piet's own words: "Marry a Dutchman and love God more than you love
him".
Sandra
says, “My husband and I only knew one another for 9 days before we wed. Two
days later, I went to sea with him on a small freighter. The adventure of our
journey, together through life, continued for 54 years. More importantly, the
contrast between our struggles before we knew Christ and the redemption,
refining and repurposing after accepting Him, is a living testimony to the
truth of the 'Good News'. Played out in the multi-dimensional reality of our
life together, it could be a bridge for others to cross over into a life in
Christ.”
Sandra
van der Bol lives in Grand Cayman. She has published poetry over the years, but
this is her first book. With her late husband Peter, the Dutchman, she spent
many years ministering to drug addicts, prisoners, single mothers and others
both within and outside of the ‘church’. Together, they founded Shalom
Ministries Cayman with a focus on mind renewal, inner healing and restoration through
the Word of God. In this season of her life, she feels called to write.
