BOOK NOTES

 

Angels in Heaven and Earth by Stephen D. Swihart gives the facts that answers the question as to whether angels are on assignment today. 3.10 postpaid.

Stan Mooneyham, president of World Vision and one who visits among the troubled people of the world, gives us the untold story of the boat people in his Sea of Heartbreak. He says the new “holocaust” he saw in Southeast Asia is the ultimate in human misery, and a story the world must know. 3.55 postpaid.

If you are interested in an introduction to the Old Testament, which includes a chapter on how the books were formed, by one of our own men, the book is The World and Literature of the Old Testament, edited by John T. Willis of ACU. It tells how the Christian is to use that portion of the Bible. 9.95 postpaid.

From Scotland we have a limited supply of hard-to-get The Plain Man’s Book of Prayers (two paperback volumes), which are really super. Ouida and I read them in family devotions. They have morning and evening prayers with scriptural readings, as well as prayers for special occasions. 3.95 each postpaid. Also by Barclay and back in print is his The Promise of the Spirit, 4.50 postpaid.

For 2.50 we will send you Do Yourself a Favor: Love Your Wife, which is really a big seller, and for a good reason. You should not miss it, especially if you have a wife or are a wife. In the same packet you should let us include C. S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity, which really puts the finger on what a Christian should believe. 2.50 pp.

Since Joni, as a movie, will now be seen by millions, you should do something even better: read the story itself, a young woman’s struggle against quadriplegia and depression to a beautiful victory. 3.95 postpaid. Along with it might be another woman’s (and everybody’s) book by Ann Kiemel, I Love the Word Impossible, 3.25 pp.

Our readers keep asking about K. C. Moser’s books. They are available at 5.10 each postpaid, The Gist of Romans and The Way of Salvation.

For 13.95 pp. we will send you one of the finer works on theology, one that has for 30 years been used in seminaries. It has been revised and has a new chapter on the Holy Spirit. The late Henry C. Thiessen’s Lectures in Systematic Theology has chapters on the nature of God, the Bible, angels, man, salvation, church, and last things.

Many of our readers send four extra names when they renew, all five subs only 10.00. This is an easy way to introduce the paper to others, and you might be doing them a favor. A lot of our new readers see it that way. You can send as many names as you like at only 2.00 per name per year, new or renewals.

Our bound volume for 1979 will be ready later in the year. You need not order if you are on our list to receive it. Four other bound volumes are still available: The Restoration Mind (1971-72) at 4.95; The Word Abused (1975-76) at 5.95; Principles of Unity and Fellowship (1977) at 5.50; The Ancient Order (1978) at 5.50.
