The way of Salvation as seen through the Heidelberg Catechism Cornelius Vankempen

Mr. Van Kempen is a man whom the Lord has revealed Himself in sovereign grace in Christ. We both
served the Lord's church in consistory for several years, which also included our visiting many elderly
saints in their spiritual needs. We have been labeled "sidekicks" by those who find where one is, the
other is sure to be near.
Case speaks freely of his meditating upon the preciousness of Scripture and how sweet the Lord Jesus is
to him. From this meditation, Case began to commit his thoughts on paper. Several years ago, I strongly
suggested that Case collect these papers into a booklet of meditations. From a single booklet
came another until Case reached one booklet for each month of the year for a daily devotion for the
child of God.
This current book had its beginning as Case began meditating upon the Heidelberg Catechism and again
found its way into print. The entire Catechism is presented in 52 Lord's Days in short, pithy thoughts, of
experiential salvation to the glory of God.
