BOOK NOTES

 

In his Evangelism Now and Then Michael Green, a very readable author, argues that what happened in the early church can happen now. But for this to happen we must discover their secret, which he unfolds. 4.10 postpaid.

Merrill Tenney’s Interpreting Revelation is a book that can be read again and again, for there is always more to learn. It is not a verse by verse commentary but a general view of what the book is all about. While he is himself a premillennialist, he is both fair and informative as to other positions. He has a way of dealing with complex problems in a simple and understandable way. 9.95 postpaid.

If you are interested in last things, you should study Robert Shank’s Until: The Coming of Messiah and His Kingdom, which is a study of prophecy in both Testaments and highly informative. 10.95 postpaid.

K. C. Moser was a pioneer among Churches of Christ in preaching the gospel of the grace of God, and it is proper that his books in this area are kept in print. They are The Gist of Romans and The Way of Salvation and they are 5.95 each postpaid.

I will guarantee that you will know more about how to pray if you study Herbert Lockyer’s The Power of Prayer. The chapters on problems in prayer, such as unanswered prayer, and Christ in prayer are especially important. 4.50 postpaid.

If you prefer the King James Version but object to its archaic verbage and mistranslations, we recommend The New King James Version, which is the old KJV with punctuation, unfamiliar words, archaic terms updated, allowing for both beauty and accuracy. 13.50 postpaid. Then there is The Topical Chain Study Bible in the New American Standard version, which, as the name suggests, links kindred passages for more effective study. It also has color-marked themes— grace, judgment, holiness, sin— and these run throughout the 66 books. There is a concordance and other helps, including commentary on major points at the bottom of each page throughout the Bible. It is a marvelous publication and makes for an ideal gift, and it is handsomely bound in hardcover. 29.95 postpaid.

If you are an admirer of William Barclay, you are to be reminded of his authorized biography by Clive Rawlings. It is a massive book chock-full of exciting information. 29.95 postpaid.

A much older biography that is still in print, thank God, is the Memoirs of Alexander Campbell. It is more that a biography in that it is the story of a unity movement. Priority reading for all who are interested in our heritage. 21.95 postpaid, but worth far more.
