Book Description
In a riveting, groundbreaking narrative, Russell Shorto tells the story of New Netherland, the Dutch colony which pre-dated the Pilgrims and established ideals of tolerance and individual rights that shaped American history. "Astonishing . . . A book that will permanently alter the way we regard our collective past." --The New York Times When the British wrested New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664, the truth about its thriving, polyglot society began to disappear into myths about an island purchased for 24 dollars and a cartoonish peg-legged governor. But the story of the Dutch colony of New Netherland was merely lost, not destroyed: 12,000 pages of its records–recently declared a national treasure–are now being translated. Russell Shorto draws on this remarkable archive in The Island at the Center of the World, which has been hailed by The New York Times as “a book that will permanently alter the way we regard our collective past.” The Dutch colony pre-dated the “original” thirteen colonies, yet it seems strikingly familiar. Its capital was cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic, and its citizens valued free trade, individual rights, and religious freedom. Their champion was a progressive, young lawyer named Adriaen van der Donck, who emerges in these pages as a forgotten American patriot and whose political vision brought him into conflict with Peter Stuyvesant, the autocratic director of the Dutch colony. The struggle between these two strong-willed men laid the foundation for New York City and helped shape American culture. The Island at the Center of the World uncovers a lost world and offers a surprising new perspective on our own.

Book Description
As a child, we had a beautiful innocence to believe even when we couldn't see. This included the beauty of our protective Guardian Angels. As we grew up we were taught that if you could not see it, feel it, hear it or smell it, it must not be. This was a sad loss of innocence for God and His Angels! God sends his Angels to communicate with us... He has done so since the beginning! He sent them to tell Noah to build the Ark, to lead Moses across the Red Sea and to reveal the upcoming birth of Jesus. He sends his messengers, the Angels to us still today - God Doesn't Change! How amazing if we would continue to hear our Guardian Angels the way He intended us to...the way children can! "We All Have Guardian Angels will encourage you to have those conversations with your children and grandchildren to preserve their innocence and belief in our Divine Protectors!
