The Reformed faith and walk is set forth beautifully in this fine exposition of the fifty-two Lord's Days of the Heidelberg Catechism. Three volumes, constituting the most extensive commentary on the catechism in English, may well be Hoeksema's greatest work. 
In the contents of these books one will find all the distinctive truths of the Reformed faith clearly and biblically expounded, and sharply set forth against the lie. 
The author, being a strong preacher of God's sovereign grace and unconditional covenant of friendship, expounds the doctrines of Scripture in a warm and personal way so that the child of God who meditates upon these pages sees more and more how these glorious truths are, indeed, his "only comfort in life and death." 
Vol 1. covers the introduction and Lord's Day 1 to Lord's Day 16.

Behold, He Cometh!: An Exposition of the Book of Revelation

Marvelously free of worldly Christmas sentiments, this meditation focuses on the great wonder of Christ's birth as a fulfillment of God's promise to save his people. In this beautiful devotional, the reader is led through the mysterious circumstances and events surrounding Jesus's birth to contemplate God's faithfulness.

The Mystery of Bethlehem

Children, so precious to God, are often denied a place in God’s church. This is both fallacious and damaging to the body of Christ. 
In the light of sacred Scripture, Hoeksema points believers to the goodness and grace of God toward their children. He reminds Reformed Christians of their heritage, concisely demonstrating from the Bible and Reformed creeds that children are very much a part of the covenant and, hence, the church. 
The author warns the reader of the ever-present threat of Arminian individualism in Reformed churches that would make the salvation of their children dependent upon the alleged free will of the children. 
Included is an informative and lengthy preface by David J. Engelsma and an 11-page biography and photo of the author.

Believers and Their Seed: Children in the Covenant

Literature on the "end times" is big business these days, and authors are earning huge profits on their sensationalized novels based on premillennial, dispensational, and other fanciful interpretations of the book of Revelation. 
By contrast, books proclaiming the sober Reformed, ammillennial view are few indeed. Though not a fictionalized account, Behold, He Cometh is a gripping exposition because its explanation of the text at last sheds light on a book of the Bible that has been considered one of the most perplexing in all of Scripture. 
The author, Herman Hoeksema (1886-1965), was for most of his ministerial career, not only pastor of a large Protestant Reformed Church, but also seminary professor, editor of the Standard Bearer magazine, popular lecturer, and writer of many influential Reformed books. 
The fifty-three chapters in this work represent what Hoeksema actually preached in a series of sermons that one of his parishioners reported were "characterized by lucid, simple, and yet thorough exposition and...delivered with a warmth and fervor which kept a large congregation at spellbound attention Sunday after Sunday." 
The genius of this work is the way it explains this highly symbolic book of the New Testament. The author had the intellect to grapple with difficult passages and the ability to communicate so that the ordinary person could comprehend his message. Using sound principles of hermeneutics, Rev. Hoeksema showed whether key passages in Revelation should be take literally or figuratively, which is where so many other commentators have failed. 
Hoeksema stressed that the last days will bring the ultimate glory to God. As for the book of Revelation, the author amply proved how it is meants to bring comfort to the church. 
Comprehensive subject and Scripture indexes are included in this edition, and every subhead is now listed under the chapter headings in the table of contents. These helps add to the value of this timeless work, first published in 1969 and still in demand!

Religion & Spirituality

"And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" (Rev. 22:17b). 
The author makes clear that those words so often quoted and sung, have a far deeper and richer meaning than they are usually given. By means of many Scripture passages, the author proves that while the gospel is promiscuosly proclaimed, its call is a particular and powerful dynamic to save the elect. 
In a simple and effective way the author explains the doctrines of sovereign, particular grace regarding coming to faith in Jesus Christ. Especially for those unfamiliar with the Reformed faith, it has proved a helpful introductory study. 
This book has edified readers for decades and its message is still important today. It bears rereading. 
"We are often at a loss to know how to interpret and apply some of the so-called Armenian texts. Here is a book written in a warm, clear style which ought to help you."

Whosoever Will

At the height of his powers as an interpreter of the Word of God in the late 1930s, Reformed theologian Herman Hoeksema preached a series of ninety-seven sermons covering the entire book of Romans. The transcription of them by a member of his congregation was recently made available to the RFPA for publication. 
The outstanding worth of this new work is its fresh, bold, penetrating, and utterly faithful exposition of the book of the Bible that the Reformation rightly regarded as the summa of the gospel of salvation by grace alone. Hoeksema called Romans "one of the richest and most beautiful parts of the Word of God." 
In addition to abundant natural abilities, wide reading, and disciplined theological study over many years, Hoeksema shared the zeal of the apostle Paul for the glory of the triune God in His sovereignty. This emboldened him to correctly elucidate what Paul said, particularly on predestination. 
This exposition is addressed not to the scholars, but to the very same audience for whom the apostle wrote the epistle: the "beloved of God, called to be saints." 
The clarity of language, the simplicity of explanation, the warmth of teaching, the sharpness of application, and the homeliness of illustration make this book truly a devotional commentary on Romans.
