OFFICE NOTES

 

Robert Shank's God's Tomorrow is about life beyond death. He had to take it off the market because some Church of Christ leaders object to its being so literal about heaven, so it is presently circulating only in non-Church of Christ circles. But we have a box full and they are available at $2.20. You'd better get one as soon as you can, for once the ban is lifted everyone will want to read it to see what the fuss is all about. The author explained to an elder who was complaining about a point in it, "After all, Rev. 21:1 does say, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth." The elder replied, "I never read Revelation!" Whether you read Revelation or not, this book will bless you.

People must be interested in heaven, for we have already sold a box full of Hereafter: What Happens After Death? by David Winter at $1.70. Ken Taylor, creator of Living Bible, says of it, "This book can radically change your life," and LB. Phillips, another translator, says the book precisely echoes his conclusions. While you are ordering you should get Closer Than a Brother by the same author for $2.00, which takes a great devotional classic (Brother Lawrence) and interprets it in the light of the 1970's. You'll see how a humble hospital worker walked with God in our turbulent world. So, it is the Father Himself who is closer than a brother.

 We have available two of William Barclay's less known titles: The King and the Kingdom and The Old Law and the New Law, at $2.70 each. Another title, which he did back in 1961, The Promise of the Spirit, is $4.00.

 We urge upon you two new books by A.M. Hunter, that brilliant and lucid British scholar. Interpreting the Parables at $2.90 and Gleanings from the New Testament at $5.70, both in soft cover. Hunter is to be highly recommended since he combines scholarship with simplicity of style.

 Dare to Discipline in paperback at $3.20 is a very readable and helpful book. It is a Christian psychologist's urgent advice to both teachers and parents.
