BOOK NOTES

 

Israel is now the focus of much international attention. We would do well to understand what is going on, especially in the light of Israel’s 4,000 years of history. Discovering Israel, by Jack Finegan, is a popular guide to the Holy Land from a Christian perspective; there are many pictures. 6.95 postpaid.

Some words are significant enough that an entire book might be written about them. Such is the word love. For 12.50 we will send you Testaments of Love: A Study of Love in the Bible by Leon Morris. You will especially benefit from the treatment of love in the Septuagint, which was the Bible used by the early Christians. It tells of the wonder and power of love throughout Scripture.

The pastor of the world’s largest church, Paul Yonggi Cho of Seoul, Korea, writes on Solving Life’s Problems. He shares the secret of his success, such as how to deal with deception and overcome difficulties, and you will appreciate his chapter on experiencing God daily. 4.95 postpaid.

Two books by Howard Snyder will especially appeal to the Restoration mind, for they deal with the problem of church structures and recovering the sense of community in the early church. Problem of Wine Skins and The Community of the King are 5.50 each or 10.00 for the two, postpaid.

For your library on our heritage there are three musts that are still in print: The Living Oracles (Campbell’s translation of the NT), which includes the extended appendix of his notes, 9.50; The Fool of God, novel on Campbell’s life, 4.95; Memoirs of Alexander Campbell, 2 vols. in 1, a history of the Movement, 19.95. All prices postpaid.

Remember to reserve your copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement: An Anecdotal History of Three Churches, by Leroy Garrett, at prepub price of 17.95. It will be mailed to you, invoice enclosed, probably before you receive the next issue of this journal.

If you want a copy of the popular translation of the NT, Good News (TEV), we recommend the handsome blue denim finish edition at only 8.95, postpaid.

Cruden’s Concordance provides a ready reference to all the key words in the Bible, only 7.50 postpaid.

An informative study of woman’s ministry in the church is In Search of God’s Ideal Woman. You’ll appreciate the chapter on whether the woman is to be “a mute bench warmer.” 5.95 postpaid.

We would like to acquaint you with the writings of a Christian psychiatrist, a Canadian named John White. His The Golden Cow treats the problem of materialism in the 20th century, while Daring to Draw Near is a study of prayer; 4.50 each, or the two for 8.00.

If you would like to see what we were saying in this journal years ago, we will send you a random selection of 18 back issues for only 3.00.

Our bound volumes still available are: Principles of Unity and Fellowship (1977), 5.50; The Ancient Order (1978), 5.50; Blessed Are the Peacemakers and With All the Mind (1979-80), 7.95. These three volumes will give you Restoration Review in attractive bound volumes for the past four years at little more than the regular subscription price.
