In terms of Reformation Heritage Books (RHB), today is a bittersweet (but mostly sweet) day for me. It is a bit of a sad day because all of our RHB employees are now in the new building and I miss them greatly already. I normally walk over from my office at PRTS to the RHB area (about 40 feet from my office) for a variety of reasons at least half a dozen times a day, and now it seems so empty. I console myself that at least we will have a small RHB/PRTS bookstore still here at the seminary which will be staffed by one PRTS employee, Giselle; it will be open from Monday to Friday—but it is not the same. All the activity of hundreds of mail order sales each day is gone! I think I’m going through withdrawal symptoms!
It is a glad day for RHB for two reasons: (1) because RHB finally has enough space in a beautiful large building (see second photo above – 11 minutes driving distance from PRTS and one block away from Grand Rapids’s busiest shopping street!) and (2) today is the first day that RHB has begun to process orders from the new warehouse (see the processing team in the first photo above). At 11:46 this morning, our CEO, David Woollin, sent me these two pictures with this succinct but historic note: “Just now the first order was fully processed and shipped from our new building! Praise the Lord!”
Pray that millions of God-honoring books will be shipped from the new RHB Bookstore for the maturation of the saints and the salvation of the lost! (For mail orders, visit www.heritagebooks.org).
P.S.: RHB’s large walk-in, retail store in our new location should be open for business as well in a few weeks. Don’t ever come to Grand Rapids without visiting it—you will love being able to purchase from the 4500 titles that will be offered in the store—all at steeply discounted, non-profit prices!
