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. Rev. D. J. VanderKlok
