BOOK NOTES

 

The way the divorce question is being handled is reaching tragic dimensions. Several churches have taken the stand that they will not even baptize divorced people, and there is a concerted effort to make this a general practice. So this issue must have much more exposure, for we are persuaded that such an oppressive measure is without Scriptural warrant. A booklet entitled Adulterous Marriages by Darrell Foltz, 1625 Oak, Hoxie, KS 67704, is part of the answer. Send one dollar directly to him, not to us, and he will send you two copies of this very helpful 18-page treatment. It deals with the question of whether the divorced and remarried person has to separate in order to become a Christian.

There are some writers that are always worth reading, and A. Hunter, now retired from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, is one of these. A lifetime of study has gone into his provocative Jesus Lord and Saviour. He starts with how to read and interpret the Bible and goes on to treat the great themes of the NT. It is exciting. 4.45 postpaid.

Someone wrote and asked about the best way to deal with Jehovah’s Witnesses. A. A. Hoekema’s book by that title is highly recommended and is only 2.45 postpaid. Similar titles at same price by same author on Mormons, Christian Science, and Seventh-Day Adventists.

At only 4.25 (postpaid) each you can start your collection of the 17-volume Daily Bible Study on the NT by William Barkley, which is widely hailed as one of the best and perhaps the most readable and informative of all. Ouida and I are reading through all 17 volumes with great profit. It is ideal for short, daily devotionals.

Still one of the best books I ever read is John Stott’s Christ the Controversalist. If you want to understand the real issues between Christ and the Pharisees, and what the Christian faith is all about, this is the book. 4.45 postpaid.

Many renew their subs by sending along an extra four names, which cost but a few dollars more, 5 subs or renewals only $10.00. This proves to be a blessing to some. And you can renew at any time. When you move, please send us both your old and new addresses.
