Reflections of a Salvationist give the reader an intimate glimpse into the world of a Salvationist with a calling. For Arie van Dijk, paying attention to each other means being aware of the big and small things in life. Every day is a day to learn. While the one moment we close our eyes for our own imperfections, the next moment brings exactly what is needed to be loving and of service to the other. Arie van Dijk has developed this idea with a surprising amount of humour in numerous short texts that are sincere and - there is no other way to put it - mostly fun to read!
