✦ About the Translation ✦
Let the Light not fade, but burn
This book was originally written in Dutch and English. The other language versions were made with the help of translation programmes and afterwards reviewed.
Even so, mistakes may have remained. I do not speak all of these languages myself, and a machine does not always grasp what a word carries within a prayer.
Some parts are deliberately left untranslated. The songs remain in English throughout, because a song loses its melody when the words are replaced.
If you notice an error — a sentence that does not run, a word poorly chosen, a verse that is not right — please let me know. You help not only this book, but every person who reads it after you in that language.
For a flame that is passed on keeps burning.
I answer with gratitude.
