BOOK NOTES

The Disciples of Christ are themselves aware of their neglect of evangelism in recent decades. Their president and general minister has listed evangelism as high on their priority list. Now comes a book from a leading Disciple on Evangelism's Open Secrets. Herb Miller, executive minister for Disciple churches in the Hi Plains area of Texas, has studied the Disciple churches that are growing, and he believes he is passing along some important truths about evangelism in this book. Only 4.25 in paperback.

"The most up-to-date Bible dictionary now available" is what F. F. Bruce says of The New Bible Dictionary. It brings you up to date on all the recent research, It would make a handsome gift at 14.95, which is reasonable for a 1424 page hardbound volume. Since it is gift time you may have a loved one who would appreciate Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible, which has 118,000 more entries than any other concordance, and it gives Greek and Hebrew meanings for English readers. 15.95 in cloth binding; thumb indexed is 3.00 higher.

We have a limited number of The New Testament in Four Versions with durable limp cover for only 6.95, a very good price for a thick 830-page book. The versions are King James, Revised Standard, Phillips, and New English, in parallel columns. This can be a tremendously helpful study aid.

We have only 78 copies of our The Restoration Mind, the bound volume of this journal for two years, 1971-72, and only 24 copies of The Church of Christ: Yesterday and Today, our bound volume for 1973-74. If you plan for these to be in your library, you had better send us your order. 4.50 and 4.95 respectively.

You will be pleased to learn that our theme for 1978, beginning with our next issue, will be The Ancient Order, which will be a study of the primitive Christian Church and its relevance to our time. We will distinguish between the ancient faith and the ancient order, and recount our pioneers' quest for both. Carl Ketcherside will continue his life's story, and there will be other attractive features.

Our sub rate is 4.00 for the year; two years for 7.00. In clubs of five or more you can send the paper to others at 2.00 per name per year, and you may include your own renewal on this list. This is an effective way to introduce the paper to others.
