| BOOK NOTES |
Maybe there is a move on for shorter sermons, for we quickly sold our first supply of Be Brief About It, a book that tells you how to preach an effective sermon in just 10 minutes. The author, a Presbyterian minister, insists that shorter sermons not only fit today’s lifestyle but that they are more effective. We have another supply if you want one. 7.95 postpaid.
Harry Boer’s A Short History of the Early Church gives a concise coverage of the early church from the world of the early church to Augustine in the fourth century. There is about all the information the average Christian needs on the persecutions, heresies and great councils. He moves too fast for you to be bored, and the information presented serves well to explain why the church is where it is today. Printed before book prices began to spiral, it is a big bargain at 4.50 postpaid.
In a book of but 80 pages, Martin Marty, who is always worth reading, writes about The Lord’s Supper, and once you read it you will have a deeper grasp of “Do this in remembrance of me.” 2.75 postpaid.
For over a century Johnson’s Notes on the New Testament has been widely-read among our people. We have it available at 10.95, and that is two volumes in one.

You would suppose that the pastor of the world’s largest church (150,000 in Seoul, Korea) would not have time to write a book, but Solving Life’s Problems is nonetheless a reality. Dr. Paul Yonggi Cho tells you how to find happiness and how to improve your self-image, as well as how to overcome difficulty. 5.50 postpaid.
We have recommended before the ever popular Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah by Edersheim as about the most informative book you could ever own. Long issued in two volumes, it is now available in a single volume, handsome hardbound, good print and paper, some 1500 pages. A real buy at 18.95 pp. A much smaller but far more recent study of our Lord is Jesus, Lord and Saviour by A. M. Hunter, one of the finest living writers in the New Testament field. These 22 essays are summaries of a lifetime of study of such subjects as the kingdom, Spirit, baptism, faith, repentance, communion. The one on the books that Jesus read will delight you. 4.50 pp.
K. C. Moser’s The Gist of Romans, which we sell like mad, is out of print temporarily, but we still have his The Way of Salvation at 5.50 pp. The Fool of God, a biography of Alexander Campbell, is 5.50 pp. The Bible dictionary we recommend as the very best is The New Westminister Dictionary of the Bible by H. S. Gehman. It has many illustrative pictures and all the latest dope, including colorful maps. The ideal gift for the Bible lover! 16.95 pp.
