With great pleasure we offer this daily devotional of meditations from the late Rev. Frans Bakker (1919–1965). His devotionals and meditations proved to be comforting and edifying to many of God’s people in the Netherlands. Writing in a simple but penetrating style, Bakker emphasized the fullness of Christ for needy sinners. In The Everlasting Word, all of Bakker’s published meditations have been translated and compiled with additional selections from his sermons. We trust that the end result is a collection filled with great nuggets of spiritual wisdom that you will enjoy. May this devotional be both an encouragement that edifies God’s people and an admonition for a life with Christ in the present age.

“I recommend these meditations to the English-speaking audience with much joy and thankfulness to the Lord. My advice is tolle et lege: take up and read these spiritual gems for your personal or family devotions and, with the Lord’s blessing, you will find wholesome food for your souls.” —REV. CORNELIS PRONK

“I consider it a great blessing that another selection of Bakker’s writings is here translated
and published in English. I trust that the Lord will attach His blessing to these meditations so that many will benefit from what they read. Did not the Lord promise that the memory of the just is blessed (Prov. 10:7)?” —REV. PAUL DEN BUTTER

“These pages are filled with the profundities of the Christian life, but they are communicated in simple, seemingly unstudied, language. Frans Bakker obviously had a tremendous gift of communication, but he wrote only in Dutch. Now, English readers can enjoy the riches of his work, and be drawn closer to the Christ whose praise is throughout this daily devotional. Highly recommended!” —DR. MICHAEL HAYKIN
