OFFICE NOTES

 

Effective with this issue the subscription rate for this journal is 4.00 per year, or two years for 7.00. In clubs of five or more, 2.00 per year per name. Since many share the paper with others on our club rate, we are continuing a below-cost offer, for we are eager that the paper be introduced to more and more concerned people. New subs and renewals sent to us before this announcement will, of course, be honored at the old rates. This is only the third time that we have increased our sub rate in 25 years, and we hope it will be the last.

Our next issue will be our 25th Anniversary Edition. This counts the six years that this journal bore the name of Bible Talk, 1952-58. We plan a few special features that we believe will interest you. We have some readers who have been with us all these years. Our newer readers who would like to become acquainted with things we've been saying in yesteryears might take advantage of our offer of 18 back issues, selected at random back to 1960, for only 3.00. But we have no issues of Bible Talk available.

For 5.95 we will send you the bound volume of all our issues for 1975-76. We are pleased that this volume is beautifully crafted by a small shop in Dallas that takes such pains with its work that it chooses to take on no new customers rather than lower its quality. It matches our other available volumes, which are: Things That Matter Most (1967), 3.50; The Quest of God (1968), 3.50; The New Humanity (1970), 3.50; The Restoration Mind (1971-72), 4.50; The Church of Christ: Yesterday and Today 1973-74), 4.95.

John Bunyan: The Tinker of Bedford at only 3.25 is a new book we think you will appreciate. Imprisoned for 12 years, he profoundly influenced his world by his facile pen, finally giving us Pilgrim 's Progress. His writings were banned during his lifetime.

Understanding the New Testament Book by Book at 3.25 is a new book that will give you a readable and resourceful introduction and background to each book, and it helps you to study the Bible with joy and ease.

Talks to Jews and Non-Jews by Carl Ketcherside is now available at 5.25, and you will find it both interesting and resourceful. If you are interested in learning to really pray, then you must read R. A. Torrey's The Power of Prayer for 2.25. Our prices include postage.
