OFFICE NOTES

 

We hope soon to issue our bound volume of Restoration Review for 1967, under the title “Things That Matter Most.” It will have its own introduction, table of contents, and colorful dust jacket—all to match the 1966 volume, “Resources of Power.” You may order these at 3.00 each.

We have said little in recent months about two monographs that should be of interest to our readers. One is Alexander Campbell: the Man and His Mission, written by Leroy Garrett and Louis Cochran; the Other is Alexander Campbell and Thomas Jefferson, a Comparative Study of Two old Virginians, by Leroy Garrett. A lot of work and research went into these little volumes and we think you’ll appreciate the effort. There are now only a few hundred left, and we’ll sell those at the rate of both for 1.00.

All last year we ran a review of Voices of Concern. Even though we might have gone longer we decided to limit it to ten installments. It so happened, however, that one essay in the book, written by Prof. Norman Parks of Middle Tennessee State University, was widely acclaimed the most significant, or certainly one of the most significant, of them all, and yet it was not reviewed. We urged the reviewer, Prof. Bales of Harding College, to be sure to include the Parks piece, which he was not able to do until the year had run out. We now have at hand Prof. Bales’ review and Prof. Parks’ response. So we plan in the next issue to run this exchange. It is not too late to get your copy of Voices of Concern: Critical Studies in Church of Christism at only 3.00 by writing to our office.

The American Far Right is a study of Billy James Hargis and his Christian Crusade. It gives insight into an important facet of religious and political thought in the U. S. A. One of our Church of Christ colleges gets mentioned. 4.50.

Why Christians Crack Up!, written by a psychiatrist who is a devoted Christian, is a book that tells about emotional disturbances, their roots and remedies. He talks about whether emotional illness is inherited, causes of immaturity, and rules for good mental health, and much more—all from the perspective of the Christian. This book is well worth both your money and time. We highly recommend it. Preachers will find in it a wealth of information for counseling and teaching. 3.95 in hardcover.

For only 2.00 we can send you a copy of Walter Scott Speaks, an important addition to your Restoration library.
