BOOK NOTES

 

The second printing of The Stone-Campbell Movement is now available, so those who have waited for it will have to wait no longer. We continue to get vigorous commendations of the book from across the country and even abroad. If you have not yet purchased a copy, we will send you one for 21.95 and pay the postage if you send a check with your order.

Also related to our heritage is two important reprints. Life of Elder John Smith tells the story of old “Raccoon,” the pioneer Kentucky preacher who was a movement all to himself, 12.95 postpaid. Elder Ben Frank-lin, a new book by Earl West, is especially important in understanding what happened to our people following the Civil War. 14.95 pp.

We have a new supply of Do Yourself A Favor: Love Your Wife, which Pat Boone called “a wonderful blessing,” and it could well change your life or that of a friend. 3.50 postpaid.

For 6.95 we will send you The Search for Christian America, written by three authors. It tells of our country’s Christian origins and takes a long look at the idea of “Christian America” by asking if our institutions and wars (including the Revolutionary War) were really Christian. The section of secular humanism will especially interest you.

God’s Answer to Personal Problems, which is part of the College Press series on What the Bible Says, is a veritable goldmine of material on dealing with problems. Parents and ministers alike will gain much from its many insights. 13.50 postpaid.

We will send you a five-pac of C. S. Lewis for 16.00, or 3.50 each. They are: Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, Miracles. It you have not read Lewis, you will revel in these delightful volumes, a matching set of paperbacks.
