After more than 35 years in the editorial department at InterVarsity Press (IVP), Jim Hoover will be laying down his editorial pen Dec. 31.

“I could try to measure the contribution Jim has made in number of books edited or pages published in his more than 35years with IVP, but that would be wholly inadequate,” said Andy Le Peau, associate publisher for editorial at InterVarsity Press. “He has been a workhorse, but much more. He has been our sheet anchor of wisdom as we have faced innumerable decisions and quandaries over the years.”
