Extract from the Preface to the book Peace For the Troubled Heart by Herman Hoeksema HERMAN HOEKSEMA’S exegetical and dogmatical writings are well-known. The same cannot be said of his devotional writings. By the publication of this book of Hoeksema’s meditations, long buried in past volumes of the Reformed periodical, the Standard Bearer, we give especially Christian readers access to his devotional writings. Beginning with the first issue of the magazine in October, 1924 and continuing until September 1, 1947, Hoeksema wrote the meditation in every issue of the Standard Bearer. The very first article in the first issue of the magazine was Hoeksema’s meditation on Psalm 145:9a, 20b, “Jehovah’s Goodness.” In the span of almost twenty-three years, Hoeksema produced more than four hundred meditations.
