OFFICE NOTES

 

The Child’s Story Bible by Catherine Vos has been constantly improved over the past 40 years and has been a family favorite all that time. It has recently been revised by the daughter of the original author and is available in handsome limp cover for 9.95, a good price for its substance. Norman Vincent Peale hailed it as “The best summary of the Bible in story form available anywhere.” Though expertly written in a child’s language it even includes some of the latest archaeological finds. There are many illustrations, including 50 colorful paintings. Suitable for children from three to thirteen. Price includes postage.

If you do not yet have Carl Ketcherside’s The Death of the Custodian at 3.25 and his Talks to Jews and Non-Jews at 5.25. you had better let us send them to you, for such books have a way of going out of print rather soon. The Way It Was in Bible Times is again in stock. It tells about everything from bread and sandals to Pharisees and Essenes, with scores of illustrations. It not only tells you what a winepress was, it gives you a drawing of one. 3.25 in colorful soft cover.

William Barclay, who recently died in Glasgow, was one of the most appreciated of all Bible expositors. The Daily Bible Study covers the entire New Testament in 17 volumes. Ouida and I are reading these through together, a few pages at a time, book by book, and find them informative and encouraging. They are only 3.75 each in limp cover, including postage. They are recently revised and in easy-to-read print and style. We suggest you try one, say Luke or Hebrews, and then you’ll almost certainly want them all eventually.

For your Restoration library you should remember Isaac Errett’s 3-volume set of Evenings With the Bible for only 13.00; The Fool of God, which is the thrilling story of Alexander Campbell, for 3.80; the 2-vol. set of Millennial Harbinger for 12.95.

You can order a resourceful little volume on Help! I’m Dying, which has been favorably reviewed by the funeral people themselves, for 3.00 from Ron Kelley, Rt. 7, Box 330, Paducah, KY 42001.
