BOOK NOTES

 

Are you aware that there is a church with 150,000 members, the world’s largest, in Seoul, Korea? The pastor, Paul Yonggi Cho, shares his ideas on the language of faith, happiness, prosperity, improving one’s self-image, building relationships, and experiencing God in a new book, Solving Life’s Problems. At one point he deals with how an inadequate emotional life causes diseases, even cancer. 5.50 postpaid.

Everyone needs a good concordance if she takes Bible study seriously. We can supply Cruden’s Concordance, which provides handy reference to all the important words, at 7.50.

The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah by Edersheim is one of the great books on the Bible, packed with vital information. The author, after lecturing at Oxford, moved to a small country church where he spent seven years writing this book. Two volumes in one. 18.95 postpaid.

A special purchase enables us to offer Nave’s Topical Bible for only 6.95 postpaid. It is an ideal study Bible in that all the subjects are listed topically, that is, all that is said about forgiveness is listed together, and- so with all subjects.

We still offer The Fool of God, the story of Alexander Campbell’s life for 5.50. Again we mention Harry Boer’s The Book of Revelation, which is not a verse by verse study but it explains the symbolism of each chapter for the general reader. 4.50. A lot of our readers bought The Mormon Papers, which examines the Mormon scriptures as if with a scalpel. 3.50. Again we recommend for the young as well as the old You Don’t Have to Be Old When You Grow Old, which has a chapter of “Good Company for Myself.” 3.50. Again we highly recommend James Dobson’s Straight Talk to Men and Their Wives, for you will laugh and weep your way to better relationships. 7.95. Prices include postage.

Robert Palmer’s What the Bible Says About Faith and Opinion goes far in answering the nagging question of what is faith and what opinion, with extensive reference both to Scripture and to our pioneers, as well as others. Its treatment of opinion and fellowship is especially helpful. 13.50 postpaid.
