BOOK NOTES

 

It says something about our way of life that an estimated 20 million Americans have anxiety attacks. Then there are nervous anxiety, rage, paranoid thoughts, phobias, obsessions, alcoholism, and still more. There is a highly recommended book on how to deal in a practical way with all such problems. One psychiatrist touts it as a “do-it-yourself” manual for managing anxiety. Get Rid of Anxiety and Stress by Toby Drews is hot off the press and we will send you a copy for 5.50 postpaid.

The two-volume set of Richardson’s Memoirs of Alexander Campbell will always be a veritable gold mine of information on our heritage, written by a nearly-blind, beloved physician on his favorite, lifetime subject. We can be thankful that it is still in print. 21.95 postpaid.

The Christian Herald hails The New Westminister Dictionary of the Bible as “a goldmine of information about every major topic in the Bible.” It is scholarly and well-illustrated. We recommend it highly. 18.95 pp.

We will send you a pack of C. S. Lewis, all four books for 13.00 or 3.50 each, and they are Lewis at his best: The Screwtape Letters, Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain. If you have not read Lewis, you should, and here is the place to start. If you are a Lewis reader and want a book about him, his life and his thought, we have C. S. Lewis: Mere Christian by Kathryn Lindskoog at 6.95 pp.

We will also send you a pack of Francis Schaeffer’s older books to those who have not yet read him. The God Who is There (5.50); Death in the City (4.50); and The Church at the End of the 20th Century (4.75) are the title that made him famous; all three for 13.00; prices include postage.

Since John R. W. Stott is highly appreciated by many of our readers, we also offer a pack of his books: Basic Christianity (3.50); Men Made New, and exposition of Rom. 5-8 (3.50); What Christ Thinks of the Church (4.50); Your Mind Matters (1.95); Guard the Gospel, on 2 Tim. (3.95); Christ the Controversalist (4.50). All six books for 19.00 postpaid.

Know Why You Believe by Paul Little will strengthen your faith and provide answers to such questions as to why God allows suffering, science and Scripture, miracles, reason and revelation. 2.95 pp.

Our own publication is selling unusually well during its first year, and we encourage you to order your copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett at 21.95 postpaid. We are now working on a companion volume, Documents of the Stone-Campbell Movement. More will be said about this work. You should start your study of our heritage with the first volume.

We also have bound volumes of this publication, neatly done with dust jackets and tables of content. Principles of Unity and Fellowship (1977) and The Ancient Order (1978) are 5.50 each, while the double volume for 1979-80, Blessed are the Peacemakers and With All the Mind is 8.50, postpaid.

Please send a check with your order since we do not have the time to keep books. Since the prices include postage the amount is easy to figure. We thank you for your patronage.
