Baker Pub Group

"What's it like having an old man who's a saint?" The question came from the depths of Romey Guttner's troubled soul. It was as honest as the hot sun that beat down on him and his best friend, Lowell, as they picked beans that unforgettable summer in the late fifties. They were just boys, one the son of the town's pillar of faith and one the neglected child of a man whose anger spilled onto everyone in his path. Despite their disparate upbringings, Romey and Lowell were like brothers, inseparable in their pursuit of adventure. But events were brewing that would force them to confront the reality of their differences for the first time.With perceptiveness and style, James Calvin Schaap renders a coming-of-age tale about friendship, fathers and sons, and, most of all, the grace that saves us from the darkest places.

In the Silence There Are Ghosts: A Novel

One of the most significant figures of the first part of the twentieth century, Abraham Kuyper was an esteemed pastor, theologian, journalist, and statesman. He also wrote one of the most enduring devotional works of all time, To Be Near unto God, a work that has continued to capture the hearts and souls of successive generations. Near unto God is a contemporary abridgment of Kuyper's devotional classic. James Calvin Schaap, who has been writing devotional materials for more than a decade, has here condensed Kuyper's meditations and freshened the style, making the deep spirituality of Kuyper's work accessible to contemporary Christians. Short, pithy, and imbued with inspiring reflections on the Word of God, the 110 meditations included in this work will speak anew to readers today.
