| OFFICE NOTES |
Many of our readers drop by to see us in Denton from time to time, and we extend an invitation to all of you to do just that, so long as you don’t all come at the same time. It is well to call in advance in the event you are driving out of your way, for I am often away from home. One item of interest to visitors is often back issues of Restoration Review. We have some 90 back issues, ranging back to 1959, neatly arranged on our shelves. These are loose copies that sell for only 20 cents each or 6 for 1.00. You don’t have to come see us to pick these up. Send us 3.00 and we will send you 18 back numbers, selected at random back through the years, and then you can fill in as you may have interest. But some issues are now out-of-print.
But
we can provide you with 5 bound volumes at only 3.00 each. These will
later go up in price, so you should order now if you are interested.
These begin with the 1966 volume and go through 1970. The 1971-72
double volume will be issued this spring, and you should send us your
order it you have not. You will be billed when the book is sent.
If
you are interested in learning more about one of the neglected
disciple pioneers, we recommend
Walter
Scott Speaks
by
John W. Neth, which is only 2.00. And for a handy and readable
history of our Movement we urge upon you
Christians
Only
by
James DeForest Murch at 3.50.
A
number of our readers have profited from
Why
Christians Crack Up,
written
by a believing physician. One chapter is on spiritual causes of
nervous tension. 3.95
One
of my old teachers at ACC who is now in his last years at Florida
College is author of a new book,
A
Commentary on the Minor Prophets,
which
is a reasonable and responsible piece of work. Homer Hailey has long
reveled in the glory of the prophets, and his love for them shines
through his work. One indication that this is not a “Church of
Christ commentary” is that the author does not use Amos 3:3
(“How can two walk together except they be agreed”) as a
prooftext that brothers must see alike in order to be in the
fellowship. He says the “two” are the Lord and the
prophet, which simply means that Amos would not be prophesying if the
Lord had not sent him. The book is a substantial volume in hardback
and is well worth the high price of 6.95.
Ouida and I recommend to all parents a delightful and informative book that we can sell better than we can practice. Dare to Discipline is now in paperback for only 1.95. It is a volume of urgent advice to parents and teachers, written by a believing psychiatrist. The short chapter on “A Moment for Mom” has five suggestions that could well change a Mother’s life. A long chapter on “Discipline in the Classroom” could transform our schools if taken seriously. The chapter on “Miracle Tools” and another on “Discipline Gone to Pot” are most helpful.
