BOOK NOTES

 

How about a book by an Air Force sergeant who has little education and has served the church only as a member and a Sunday School teacher? Jesus Christ is Alive and Well and Living in His Church is one of those “down home” kind of testimonials that we need to read. He has illustrations that come alive: “Driving a standard-transmission car illustrates this. You let out on the clutch and in on the accelerator as one simultaneous effort. The ‘old man’ out and Christ in. Now what? Do I shift again?” 1.25.

Believing that idolatry is a product of “the imagination of men’s hearts” and is therefore always with us, Kenneth Hamilton has prepared To Turn from Idols, which we can send to you for only 3.95, paper, 232 pages. One prominent idol these days is that of Change, which tempts us to believe that relevance is to be sought in place of truth, says the author. This book may cause you to ask. yourself if we all do not, by nature, have idolatrous imaginations.

Let’s Glorify God by Eric Fife is the result of a lifetime of study and experience of world missions, and it sets forth biblical principles for world evangelism. 1.25.

A Th.D. from Southern Baptist Seminary has written Understanding Speaking in Tongues, an informative volume that both traces this experience through history and provides an answer for those on both sides of the question. He explains how the form of glossolalia may be questioned, but contends that even so it may well be an authentic ministry of the Spirit. He has well named his 88-page treatment, for he is urging upon us the patience that comes only through understanding. 1.95.

We can now provide in inexpensive but beautiful paperback The New Testament in Four Versions. It has side by side, the King James, Revised Standard, Phillips, and the New English. This is four books in one and extends for 831 pages and is only 4.95.

We still have copies of Demons in the World Today by Unger, which is a needed volume for these days of hysteria on the subject. Only 1.95. We like to commend the little volume by John R. W. Stott on The Baptism Fulness of the Holy Spirit since it sets forth our own views. 95 cents. This might be balanced with George Otis’ God the Holy Spirit, which traces His footprints all through scripture. 1.00.
