Son of Seccession
"Son of Secession" is a challenge to our understanding of thistorical origins of the Christian Reformed Church as well as the church today. Janet Sjaarda Sheeres has given us a moving, sympathetic and exciting biography of Douwe Vander Werp, one of the key figures in the Netherlands "Afgescheiden" of 1834 and a principal minister in the early development of the Christian Reformed Church. Vander Werp was a man zealously committed to his understanding of God's Word and it implications for his life, even when it required the painful sacrifice of three secessions. Sheeres's sociological observations add interesting insights into Vander Werp's fascinating and fractious times.
The Not-So-Promised Land
After establishing a successful Dutch colony in Holland, Michigan, in 1847, Albertus Van Raalte turned his attention to the warmer climes of Amelia County, Virginia, where he attempted to establish a second colony.

A well-told tale of high hopes but eventual failure, The Not-So-Promised Land concludes with a 73-page genealogy of everyone involved in the settlement, including their origins, marriages, births, deaths, denominations, occupations, and post-Amelia destinations.

Drawing together elements of ethnic pride, nostalgia, religious values, economic motives, cultural memory, and a spirit of celebration, these festivals are performances that promote and preserve a community's unique identity and heritage, while at the same time attempting to place the ethnic community within the larger American experience.
