BOOK NOTES

 

For 14.95 we’ll send you the 2-volume set of Millennial Harbinger, which is the best of Campbell’s writings in 40 years as an editor. For most purposes it is all one needs to understand the thought of the old sage. Along with it you should read The Fool of God, which is a historical novel on Campbell’s life, one that you’ll have difficulty putting down once you begin reading it. 3.95 postpaid.

We have a new paperback edition of Do Yourself a Favor: Love Your Wife at only 2.40 postpaid. There is a reason why 300,000 copies have been sold, for it is transforming troubled homes into vibrant and exciting places. If you think you don’t need it, you should read the chapter on “Danger Signals.”

Pat and Shirley Boone’s The Honeymoon is Over is a problem-solving book on marriage and life in general. If one has marital problems, problems with children, with business, with money, this book will be a blessing. It tells of the problems Pat had with the now famous Debby and how they were solved, of their church disfellowshipping them, and of lots of “blowouts” along the way. They continually point to Scriptures that provided answers to their troubled lives. 6.95 postpaid.

For 9.95 we will send you a most readable, colorful, delightful book for children (that adults too will enjoy), The Child’s Story Bible by Catherine Vos, which has long been a favorite and constantly revised. It even brings archaeology into the stories. Norman Vincent Peale sees it as the best summary of the Bible in story form available anywhere.

If you want to set a Mormon to thinking about his new Bible, then lay on him the evidence presented in The Mormon Papers. In no sense vindictive or discourteous, it nonetheless shows key documents to be unauthentic and really brings the Mormon faith to the judgment of the true Scriptures. 3.40 postpaid.

Since folk are living longer and facing lots of problems brought on by old age, Dr. Louis Baer’s Let the Patient Decide is a much needed volume. He gives you instructions on how to avoid a prolonged illness in a nursing home. Dying is not a tragedy, but becoming a non-person in a nursing home is. He explains that one can decide in advance how he wants to be treated in old age, and he tells you how to deal with doctors and institutions in a forceful manner in this regard. It is a thoughtful, informative book. 5.40 postpaid.
