The Presbyterian Home for Children (PHFC) has released a new history book, The Journey, documenting the ministry’s remarkable evolution from 1964 through today.
The book continues the story first told in the Home’s beloved “Blue Book.”
The original history book chronicled the first century of the Home’s mission, from its founding in 1864 through 1964. The Journey picks up where that volume ended, detailing six decades of change, growth, resilience, and faith as the Home adapted to meet the changing needs of Alabama’s children and families.
The book debuted June 13 during Alumni Day 2026, giving former residents an opportunity to experience the history of their childhood home before the publication was released to the public. The book is now available for purchase online at bit.ly/4ei84Zm.
