BOOK NOTES

 

We are pleased to be selling so many copies of Peake's Commentary of the Bible, which is the most resourceful one-volume commentary in print. It is an old one, tried and tested for generations, but has been completely revised and brought up to date. While the price is 34.50, you are to remember that it is a library within itself.

For only 3.75 we will send you A Pattern for Life by A. M. Hunter, which is an exposition on the Sermon on the Mount. His thesis is that the Sermon is not a utopia but a real design for living for one who accepts the gospel. Interpreting the Parables, which opens up the meaning of the parables, 60 of them, is also by A. M. Hunter, and is 4.55.

Mid-Life Crises by W. E. Hulme will be helpful to the caring Christian, for it identifies the problems of the middle years and provides resources for dealing with them. He deals with how to handle the changes that come in a youth-oriented world. 5.95.

We do not know how long Memoirs of Alexander Campbell by Robert Richardson will be in print, but it is still available, two volumes in one, at 19.95, and it remains the most important work ever produced on the Restoration Movement. Another important publication on our Movement, The Evangelist, has been republished and is available at 99.95. It is the 10-volume journal of Walter Scott, until recently unavailable. It makes a beautiful set and is a great source for historical study.

For 7.50 we will send you Cruden's Concordance, which gives you a listing of all the key words of Scripture, free of the clutter of insignificant words.

At a bargain price of only 5.95 (usually 8.95) we will send you Dr. James Dobson's Straight Talk to Men and Their Wives, as long as supply lasts. It makes delightful reading as well as being highly informative and useful.

A very helpful volume on a crucial issue is Robert Palmer's What the Bible Says About Faith and Opinion at 13.50. He relates the subject to the question of fellowship.

An eminently readable book on the life and teaching of Jesus is Jesus: Lord and Saviour, by A. M. Hunter. Now retired from his chair at Aberdeen in Scotland, the author shares a lifetime of study of the New Testament.

Due to an auto accident our binder has been incapacitated much of this year and has therefore been unable to turn out our 1979 bound volume. Because of this we have decided to issue a double volume as we have done three times previously. So 1979–1980 will be bound together and issued as soon as our binder is able to get to it. If you have placed an order for either of these years, it will be assumed that you wish the double volume and it will be sent with invoice as soon as it is ready. We are sorry about this delay. Our theme for 1981, beginning with the next issue, will be Jesus Today, drawn from that great passage in Heb. 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever."
