Come, Ye Children had gone out of print because of its popularity with our readers. A reprint with a durable cover was done so that children who grew up with this book may order copies to read to their children after a meal or at bedtime. Now it has been reprinted again. Come, Ye Children has been a favourite for over twenty years! The author recommends it especially for children ages 4-8. In truth, anyone new to Bible history can learn from it! A Christian school teacher and gifted storyteller, the author tells 198 Bible stories from Genesis to Acts with a biblical, covenantal interpretation in language easily understood by young children. Each story is true to Scripture and includes a thought to remember and an illustrative drawing. The author echoes David’s sentiment: “Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.”

“To be clear, this is not a Bible. It’s a storybook that covers the stories in the Bible. This book does not shy away from the uncommon stories that you typically won’t find in a children’s storybook … [It] also has the ‘main’ ones (creation, Noah, Abraham, etc.). The truth is clear and presented nicely with the important details being highlighted. It’s a quick easy read with each story being about a page and a half. Perfect for morning or dinner devotionals … This book is great for children ages 3–10 years old. I love how thorough it is.”—an Amazon.com customer

The Doctrine of Scripture, by Homer C. Hoeksema. 93pp. [Reviewed by Prof. R. Decker.]

The contents of this little volume were prepared by Prof. Hoeksema for an elective class in the Protestant Reformed Seminary. The class was intended to introduce the students to “Contemporary Views of Scripture.” The material found in this book was really an introduction, a positive statement of the doctrine of Holy Scripture. Prof. Hoeksema was taken to glory before he had opportunity to complete the work. 

Hoeksema answers this question: “What has been historically, and what is now, the Reformed and confessional view of Scripture?” It is Hoeksema’s contention that this question must first be answered, before any critical analysis of contemporary views of Scripture can be properly done. 

The reader will find in this book a treatment of the doctrine of Scripture as taught in the Reformed Creeds. He will also find detailed treatment of “Scripture’s Self-Testimony.” In two very important chapters (5 & 6) Hoeksema argues convincingly that there is no “human factor” or “element” in the production of Holy Scripture. The book concludes with a comprehensive statement on the concept “Organic Inspiration.” 

We are convinced that the key doctrine under attack in our day is the doctrine of Holy Scripture itself. For this reason the book is must reading for seminarians, office-bearers, Christian school teachers, and all believers. It will provide the Reformed believer with the necessary, foundational understanding of this crucial truth. Thus the believer will be enabled to evaluate the false views of Scripture so prevalent in our day.
