"I very much enjoyed this book. It was a very helpful description of the challenges faced both internally and externally by the colony founded by religious Puritans.

The defining quote for me was this: "The purpose of New England was to show the world a community where the laws of God were followed by church and state - as nearly as fallible human beings could follow them." (pg 180)

With the term "puritan" or "puritanical" carrying a negative connotation today, this was a book that contextualized what the Puritans were all about within their day and time - an effort that, I believe, goes far to redeeming the Puritans. Their motives and goals were honorable, and John Winthrop himself is sen as a man of balance and self-control - not an extremist, as he/they are so often referred to.

I would greatly recommend this book to anyone interested in better understanding the motives and goals of a significant group of contributors to our nation's DNA."
