BOOK NOTES

 

Because of a special purchase we have made we can offer you for only 3.00 the hardbound edition of Raccoon John Smith, by Louis Cochran, which originally Cost 4.95. This is a big bargain and it is going out of print, so if you want the story, told excitingly, of the famous Kentucky pioneer preacher, you had better get with this one. The soft cover edition of the companion volume by Louis Cochran, The Fool of God, also by Louis Cochran, is available for 1.95.

Also by special purchase we can offer the following at our biggest bargain ever, and they are all substantial books, well worth your time, and they are hardbound editions. These books are bur 1.00 each. Order one or all at 1.00 each. The original price is in parenthesis.

The Relationship of Baptism to Church Membership by Belcastro ( 4.50) is an historical and theological survey of baptism from apostles until now, with emphasis upon the positions taken by Restoration leaders.

General Jim, by Davis (3.00) is the story of James A. Garfield, with emphasis upon his relationship to the Restoration Movement. Especially suitable for Youth.

Preaching on Old Testament Themes, by Lemmon (2.50) is a collection of lessons from the prophets by outstanding ministers within the Christian Churches-Churches of Christ. J. P. Sanders of the Church of Christ has one on “The Stature of Moses.”

Preaching on Race by West (3.50) is just what its title indicates. If we had had more of this kind of teaching all along, we might have avoided many problems. You’ll like his “Killing the Right Snakes” and ‘Whites Up Front!”

Let’s Get Married, by Crook (1.95) is a manual for engaged couples; a nice looking little volume, and most appropriate to hand to young folk thinking of marriage.

A Saturday Night Talk with God by Grafton (2.95) is a book of meditations and all sorts of spiritual goodies; the introduction is by Ralph Sockman, and it is a Sockman sort of book. It is ideal “quickie” reading. By an outstanding Disciples minister.

This Sacred Hour by Bruner (2.00) is just what you’ve been looking for if you’ve wanted something to enhance your words at the Lord’s Table, or your own meditation at the Supper, along with other devotionals.

For only 8.95 we will send you a copy of the new best-seller, The New English Bible. You must have one of these, sooner or later, and they may cost more later.

We have a fresh supply of A Quest for Christian America, by David Edwin Harrell of the conservative Church of Christ wing, but published by Disciples of Christ Historical Society. It is a cultural history of our Movement, dealing especially with slavery, the Civil War, and economics.

We can send you the abridged edition of Millennial Harbinger in two large, handsome volumes for only 9.50. This is the best of Campbell as an editor for 40 years.

A new book entitled The Spirit of the Reformed Tradition, by Eugene Osterhaven, will be of interest to those with the Restoration mind, for there are valuable comparisons to be drawn between the traditions. One of his chapters is on the continuing need for renewal, and he is concerned with the meaning of “Reform” and what its values are to the modern church in much the same way that we are concerned with Restoration. Paperback makes it only 3.45.
