In praise of "The Golden Tapestries" -

"I found your book marvellous ...... as I can see it, it is historically very accurate, I have many families that are interrelated with your relatives as well, so I could see how they were all connected and how accurately you wove them into the picture. Congratulations, I find it a masterfully written piece of documentary and story." Professor Robert Heimann, Professional Genealogist (European Specialist)

"The Golden Tapestries, depicts the challenges and achievements of some remarkable family ancestors. The author positions them within key periods of European and New World history over several centuries. Drawing on established histories and his own extensive research, he applies historical imagination to depict vividly the vision, spirit and resilience of those forebears." Dr Brian Hoepper, History Educator and author

"I enjoyed reading this book. It is a uniquely personalised, brief but well-researched history of the early years of the Calvinist (Protestant) French Reformed Church, written from the perspective of an Australian descendant. "The Golden Tapestries" completes the trilogy by serving as the first volume in a series alongside two other books." Dr Peter Kreminski, member of the AMA (SA) Historical Committee and writer of four historical biographical publications (including Northern European)

"These stories are heartfelt and intriguing but coupled with the historical content they bring the history of the time to life, and the stories themselves are authenticated. It was enjoyable reading the blend of real-life people and the history of the Reformation. I found myself engrossed and not wanting to put the book down." Helen Rance, School Teacher (History/ Geography (retired))
