Looking forward: Which books will we release this FY?

As the RFPA begins a new fiscal year, we look forward to another year of Reformed books and magazines for young and old. This year will see the publication of more Reformed classics, the beginning of a new children's book series by a beloved author, the continuation of the Devotions on the Gospel of John and Christ and His Church series, and more!

Commentary on the Heidelberg Catechism
by Zacharias Ursinus

Remaining faithful to the translation by Rev. G. W. Williard, this edition has been reformatted with a larger typeface, and it also includes an all-new critical apparatus—changes that will make this important commentary both easier to read and to reference. A timeless classic that should be included in the library of every Reformed believer.

In Times of Trouble
by P. M. Kuiper

Genre and audience: The first in a series of historical fiction books for ages 9–12 set shortly after the Afscheiding

As summer begins, twelve-year-old Tess looks forward to fun with friends and helping out at market. But when her family suddenly loses their customers for attending the new free Reformed church, Tess must find a way to support the family, as well as think hard about questions related to faith, friendship, and the possibility of moving to a new land.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life:
Devotions on the Gospel of John for Teens, book 3
by Abby Van Solkema

If you live in a godly home, you have probably known from a very young age what it looks like to be a Christian. But simply knowing about God and acting like a Christian isn’t enough. And trusting in your own ability to live a life that looks good to others is not the way to friendship and fellowship with God. The only way to the Father is Jesus. He makes the way through his death and resurrection and leads us in this way by his Spirit. As you read through John 10–15, pray that Jesus will lead you in this way—the way of repentance, belief, and trust in him—because it is the only way to true peace and eternal life.

Grace House

by Brad Kamminga

Genre and audience: A fictional book for teenagers based on the true stories of the many children who have lived at Grace Foster Home in Vellore, India

Twelve-year-old Kashvi and her younger brother, Sudhir, are from a Hindu home in the lowest, poorest caste of Indian society. When their alcoholic father’s violent outbursts grow even worse, their mother brings them to a Christian foster home called Grace House. As Kasvhi adjusts to her new life at the foster home, she not only comes to the Christian faith—she also learns about the truths of forgiveness and what home and family love really look like.
