Overview

All he wanted to do was serve God. Following his calling, Reformed Dutch minister Domine Johannes Polhemius lost a wife and child, shepherded colonists in the New World for the Dutch West Indies Company, provided aid to unjustly persecuted Jews, survived capture by privateers on the high seas, and eventually brought a new family to settle on Long Island. His preaching reached countless souls in the Netherlands, Brazil, and the Caribbean, finally serving both Dutch and English settlers in what would become New England. Author Russ Podmayer's research of the years from the Domine's birth in 1598 to his passing in 1676 has yielded a detailed multi-voice narrative shedding fascinating light on a period of westward expansion forged by countless undaunted genuine servants such as the Domine.
