OFFICE NOTES

 

If you would like a bound copy of the 1975-76 issues of this paper, entitled The Word Abused, you should place your order with us. We will bill you when the book is mailed out early in 1977. For 4.95 we will send you The Church of Christ: Yesterday and Today, our bound volume for 1973-74; and for 4.50 the 1971-72 volume entitled The Restoration Mind. We also have single volumes for 1967, 1968, and 1970 at 3.50 each. All these have colorful dust jackets, with introduction and table of contents, and all are matching volumes.

We also have broken sets in loose copies all the way back to 1959, which should be of interest to our newer subscribers. For 3.00 we will send you 18 back issues, selected at random back through the years. You will find them interesting, and most of the articles, by numerous writers, are still relevant.

We have sold a number of you William Barclay’s Daily Celebration, and I’m confident every purchaser is pleased. But we failed to tell you that there are two volumes under this title, both 5.95. We sent his first to some customers and the second to others. We now have both in stock, so you can order the one you don’t have, if you would like more of the same goodies. Those of you who are considering this purchase, let us insist that you cannot go wrong. They make excellent family reading.

Those of you who live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area (our largest concentration of readers next to Abilene!) will want to know about Renewal House, a new bookstore-educational resource center opened by our friend and brother, David R. Reagan, which opened this month with a bang at 4519 McKinney in Dallas (phone 214-5217620.) Dr. Reagan, formerly a prof at Austin College and Pepperdine, is a very enterprising man (Ouida says lovingly of him “I like to watch him operate.” — after all, he once transformed a college he headed and ran for governor of Texas!), and one thing he has in mind is a biblical studies center. You’d better drop in and take a look. It is the best supplied religious bookstore in Dallas, with art, cassettes, jewelry, etc. But don’t fail to meet Dave, for he’s far more interesting than anything he may sell.

We would like to introduce you to Alfred Edersheim, that brilliant scholar of the life and times of Jesus. There is now in paperback a one-volume abridgement of his famous 2-volume masterpiece. Ideal for the busy reader and only 5.95. There is now, however, a one-volume edition of the larger work for 12.95.

J. W. McGarvey’s famous Commentary on Acts is out in a new edition. First written in 1863, it has been in constant demand among our people. It is surely one of the most responsible commentaries produced by our people. 6.95.

Are you interested in information about the life of Jesus from sources outside the New Covenant scriptures? F. F. Bruce in Jesus and Christian Origins Outside the New Testament deals in an interesting way with the non biblical sources, and he evaluates the evidence. 3.45 in paperback.

If you haven’t read Keith Miller, we recommend his The Taste of New Wine, now in paperback at 1.25, and we can offer his newer and larger book, The Becomers, at a special price of 4.95 in hardcover.

Dare to Discipline is urgent advice to parents and teachers from a psychologist, and it is now in paperback for 1.95.

We can supply Francis Schaeffer’s The God Who is There for 2.50, which is probably his greatest work.
