BOOK NOTES

 

The Death of the Custodian, which is a study of the covenants, was one of Carl Ketcherside’s most effective books. It has been republished under the title That The World May Believe and is very suitable for mass distribution. We can supply them to you for 1.95 each or three for 5.00, post-paid. Why not get one for your own library and two for acquaintances that need to better understand a covenant-making God?

There is now a reliable translation of the New Testament for children, written at the third grade level, and not simply a paraphrase like the Living Bible, which is not as acceptable. James Dobson says of the International Children’s Version: “Finally, a Bible children can read and understand.” We will send you one for 12.95 postpaid.

Dwight Stevenson’s The Voice of the Golden Oracle, which is the story of the greatest evangelist of our history, Walter Scott. This book has difficulty staying in print, so you had better send for your copy at 6.50 postpaid. The binding is beautifully done and the print is clear and readable, and the story is superb.

K. C. Moser was a “prophet of grace” among Churches of Christ in the previous generation. His lone voice can still be heard in his two exciting books that continue to be kept in print, The Way of Salvation and The Gist of Romans, which are 5.95 each postpaid.

The Stealing of America by John W. Whitehead is a provocative treatment of how our government has slowly imposed itself upon our rights as citizens, in the home, in church, in education. He charges Christians for being so passive as to allow even the courts of our land to take away our constitutional rights. You owe it to yourself to give this very responsible writer a hearing on a vital subject. 6.95 postpaid.

Another gripping book is Whatever Happened to the Human Race? by Francis Schaeffer and C. Everett Koop, who is surgeon general of the United States. It is a manifesto on the sacredness of human life and lays bare what is happening to the human race behind closed doors, particularly hospital doors. 6.50 postpaid.

A Short History of the Early Church by Harry R. Boer tells in concise terms what happened from Paul to Augustine, including an easy-to-understand treatment of such heresies as Gnosticism, Marcionism, Montanism (one learns that they are modern as well as ancient), as well as the persecutions, the great councils of the church, and such leaders as Ambrose and Jerome. 5.50 postpaid.

We are blessed that Robert Richardson’s Memoirs of Alexander Campbell remains in print. This book is within itself an education on the Stone-Campbell Movement. 21.95 postpaid, two volumes in one, very readable print, handsomely bound.

And you are to be reminded that our own The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett, while out of print just now, is expected to be in its second printing by the time you receive this journal. Send us your order and we will send you a copy as soon as they are ready. 21.95 postpaid.

And our bound volume for 1981-82, entitled Jesus Today, is available for only 8.50, which is actually less than the sub price. Beautifully bound with dust jacket. You can afford to pass your loose copies along to others by buying this volume for your library.
