OFFICE NOTES

 

Our bound volumes are going fast. We have no more of 1966 and only about1 5 copies of 1967 and about 60 of 1968. These, along with 1969 and 1970, all single volumes, are 3.50 each. Our double volumes are 4.50 for1971-72 and 4.95 for 1973-74. We advise you to order at once if you want any of these.

We do not encourage bundle subscriptions, for we have learned that they are usually poorly distributed. Most all of our sub list are singles, but we do send out bundles to those who request it, hoping that good use will be made of the copies. We will send you 10 each month for 1.50 per month. Back copies are 20 cents each, but we will send a random selection of I 8 back copies from the past 15 years for only 3.00.

If you want an exciting study of Acts, we recommend F. F. Bruce’s commentary. It is unusually well done and easily read. It is 555 pages, hardcover and the price is 9.95.

Less expensive commentaries are available from Sweet Co. in Austin, written by our own Church of Christ folk —the more open and scholarly of our writers, I should add. The Living World Commentary is to cover the entire New Testament, and you would do well to have them all. We suggest you start with Richard Batey’s Romans and J. W. Roberts’ Revelation and test them for yourself. They are 4.25 each.

Also from Sweet is a delightful little volume by Jim Reynolds on Secrets of Eden: God and Human Sexuality for 2.45. It is a reverential treatment of sex by a former All-American basketball player (ACC) and a tremendous believer. We also recommend still another Sweet product, The Devil You Say?, which is perspectives on demons and the occult, written by five of our “new look” people, including Ron Durham, new editor of Mission, at 4.25. An older book is by that great sister in the Lord, Bobbie Lee Holly, entitled Person to Person, which will really warm your heart, at 4.25.

During September I will have weekends in Kansas City and Lubbock, and we invite you to join us. September 57 I will be with the Kenwood Church of Christ in Kansas City. Morris Yadon, 5040 Parish Drive, Shawnee Mission, Kansas 66205 can supply details. September 19-21 I will be in a cottage meeting with Dr. Thomas Langford of Texas Tech, at 3703 48th St., Lubbock, phone 806-795-1581. The weekend of October 10 I will be with the Bassett Church of Christ in Sand Spring, Oklahoma, which is next to Tulsa. The address is 12 W. 38th St. This congregation, ministered to by Walter Jones, is really coming alive and we think you’d enjoy their meetings. This gathering will be a fellowship forum.

Ray Miller, 4388 Rota Circle, Ft. Worth, Texas 76133, can take care of all your magazine needs, including those you already take. Send your renewal notices to him, along with, a check made out to him. He is authorized to meet any price that you can get elsewhere, including publishers’ special offers. And you can help a brother who depends upon this service for a living. He has been at this for seven years and he takes your business seriously. His disability due to cerebral palsy does not keep him from performing this ministry. He is an ACC graduate with a major in business psychology. We urge you to form the habit of allowing Ray to handle all your magazine business. It will cost you no more, and perhaps less, and it will encourage him to be able to serve you like this.
