BOOK NOTES

 

For 1.50 we will send you John Stott’s What Christ Thinks of the Church, which is a 128-page paperback treatment of the letters to the seven churches. He sees in these letters the answer as to what Jesus thinks of the church.

We have Pat Boone’s A New Song for 4.95; The Living New Testament for 2.50; Francis Schaeffer’s The God Who Is There (2.50) and Death In the City (1.95).

A neat, new publication of Thomas Campbell’s Declaration and Address and Barton Stone’s Last Will and Testament, the two greatest documents of the Restoration Movement, is available at 1.50. The Appendix to the Declaration is rich in its treatment of some of the weighty issues of unity and fellowship. If you are interested in Christian unity you should by all means have this little volume.

Ouida and I have just finished reading aloud Merrill Unger’s The Haunting of Bishop Pike. Having once sat myself in an Arthur Ford seance, as did Bishop Pike, I was especially interested in Unger’s evaluation, which is that the spirits of seances are not departed loved ones at all, but satanic powers that are deceiving people into believing that they can live now and forever without Christ. We could hardly lay the book down. If the, spirits do not curl your hair, the book will. And yet it is a sober, scriptural, thought-provoking presentation. A ghost will never again be quite the same to you. And Unger does believe that what Pike experienced was real and not a hoax. Really evil, that is. In paperback at 1.95.
