BOOK NOTES

 

Elton Trueblood’s newest book, The New Man for Our Time, presents a thesis that goes well with our own series on “The New Humanity.” The new man, he says, is the whole man. He writes about the cultivation of reverence, the life of service, and intellectual integrity. He is uneasy with the activism of our time that seems to have cut away the roots of our culture, and he is suspicious of the pietism that is untrue to its convictions. The new man, who finds wholeness through reverence and integrity, is truly contemporary because he is more than contemporary. The price is 2.95. We will send you this volume, plus two other Trueblood books, for 7.00.

Carl Ketcherside’s new volume issued under the title Christian Commandos, an attractive book with much (Mission Messenger for 1969) is that educates the soul. It is 3.00, as are five other volumes in the series that are still available. You can order all six and pay for them 5.00 monthly, with no carrying charges. Let me urge you to order at once, for several of the volumes, once available, are no longer.

So with Voices of Concern. Once we had thousands of them, but now only 200 or so. This is the study of Church of Christism, edited by Robert Meyers, that says much to us in terms of how we can become a more responsible people. Only 3.50.

I wish you could hear Leonard Read speak. He is president of the Foundation for Economic Freedom, and he has things to say about freedom that thrills the soul. I prize my autographed copy of his Let Freedom Reign, and I delight in such chapters as “The Miracle of a Meal,” “Let’s All Be Philosophers,” and “The Art of Doing Something:’ In paperback they are only 2.00.

A preacher was troubled about being expected to stand in the pulpit each Sunday and saying something worth hearing in the twentieth century. This concern led to a book, The Contemporary Preacher and His Task, which we can send you for only 2.95.

The paperback edition of The Fool of God, Louis Cochran’s Story of Alexander Campbell, will soon be out of print, which is most unfortunate. We still have a few copies at 1.95.

For 3.95 we can send you Gary Freeman’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, which is about all of us.

 

Our new book, Renewal Through Recovery, which is the 1969 volume of this journal, will soon be available. The price is 3.00, but you need send no money now; but do write and reserve your copy. This provides for permanent use, leaving you free to pass your loose copies along to friends. Subscription rate is 1.00 per year, but we encourage 2-year subs at 2.00. We have loose back copies at 20 cents each. We’ll send you ten for 1.00 if you plan to distribute them. RESTORATION REVIEW, *1201 Windsor Dr., Denton, Tex. 76201.
