-I am a bi-vocational pastor, a full-time school teacher, and a father of two small children. While I have a theological education, I do not have 15-20 hours a week for sermon prep. I have been using the Reformed Expository Commentary to preach through the book of Hebrews. It is a fantastic work!! I would be willing to buy the whole set based on what I have experienced so far. Scratch that, I would buy two sets and give one away. After searching many websites there seems to be only 20 volumes in publication. Are there plans to publish the Reformed Expository Commentary in every book of the Bible? I really hope so, they are truly a great work! I love the combination of exposition, doctrine, redemption, and practical truths in every passage. None of those areas can afford to be bypassed. It is literally the perfect commentary for bi-vocational preachers.

-Hi Andrew,
We are glad to hear that you have been enjoying our REC series. We have been coming out with an average of 2 new REC books each year with the goal of eventually coming out with one for each book of the Bible. Some of the commentaries have multiple books in one (Esther & Ruth, Jonah & Micah, and our upcoming 2015 REC books 1-3 John, and 1-2 Thessalonians).
Thanks.
