BOOK NOTES

 

The New English Bible, described in detail in our last number, is already a big seller. Our modest supply went quickly, but we have an order in for more. So we can fill your orders at 8.95. This is the “just published” new translation of both Testaments by the renowned committee of British scholars, destined to be one of the great translations of this century, and surely the most idiomatic.

Conquering and to Conquer is a treatment of the millennium by one of our brothers, Stanford Chambers, who is a premillennialist. It is a lucid, scriptural, and reasonable presentation of a very difficult part of the Bible, and a terribly neglected part. You might like to read for yourself what these brethren really believe about the book of Revelation. Only 2.00 in paperback.

Reverence for Life by Albert Schweitzer is a most fitting publication for these days when we are becoming more concerned with nature and our environment. Actually these are sermons by Schweitzer, “the 13th apostle,” that speak directly to today’s needs. The foreword is by Elton Trueblood, in which he says that the sermons reveal Schweitzer’s deep spirituality, and that this comes through to our contemporary needs. 4.95 in hardback.

Explore Your Psychic World by Ambrose and Olga Worrall, a man and wife psychic team, is a book that will send you into outer space. It is daring, exploratory, and takes you into “the twilight zone.” There is a chapter on “Shadows and Ghosts,” and the whole thing is spooky. But once you read it you may change your mind about healing, ESP, and the spiritual universe. It does say something, and it is a Christian effort to understand, but don’t buy it if you have to agree with most of what you read. 4.95 in hardback.

The Kingdom of the Cults by Walter R. Martin talks about Jehovah’s Witnesses, Bahai, Christian Science, Black Muslims, Unity School, Theosophy, Mormonism, Spiritism, and even the cults of the mission field—witch doctors and what have you. It is a tremendously informative volume that will cause you to appreciate all the more the simplicity that is in Jesus Christ. It is a substantial volume for 5.95, being more than 400 pages.

Renewal Through Recovery is the title of the new volume we are sending out this month to all who have placed their orders. It is the bound volume of this journal for 1969, along with an introduction, table of contents, and dust jacket. It is beautifully bound in dazzling gold, representing the value of that which we have to recover. You may order your copy for only 3.00, and you may place a standing order for all bound volumes (there are now four), thus allowing you permanent form for your copies while you pass the loose copies along to friends. We encourage you to subscribe or renew for two years at a time, thus saving us all time and effort. But we still encourage you to send us lists of names for only 50 cents each if as many as six.
