| BOOK NOTES |
We
are stocking Robert H. Schuller’s
Tough
Times Never Last, But Tough People Do!,
a
book that will inspire you to climb even higher, and it makes a nice
gift. Only 6.50 in paperback, postpaid.
Conversions,
edited
by Hugh T. Kerr, is a collection of some fifty accounts of
conversions from Paul and Augustine to Charles Spurgeon and C. S.
Lewis - and even Ethel Waters and Dorothy Day! —written by
themselves. I was pleased to find Barton Stone’s eye-witness
account of the great Cane Ridge revival. Our price is 9.95 postpaid,
which corrects the previous price we gave for this item.
If
you are interested in archaeology, especially in reference to the New
Testament, we recommend an exciting new book,
The
Archaeology of the New Testament,
which
tells about “the surprise” of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the
archaeology of the Empty Tomb, of the Book of Revelation, of the
Early Church, and much more. 6.95 postpaid.
In
these days when many in Churches of Christ are taking a brave look at
both our polity and our attitudes, I suggest a few titles by our own
folk that have special value: K. C. Moser’s two titles,
The
Gist of Romans
and
The
Way of Salvation
are
5.95 each postpaid; Olan Hicks’
In
Search of Peace, Unity, and Truth
is
3.95 postpaid; Waymon D. Miller’s
The
Role of Elders in the New Testament Church
is
as liberating as it is informative, 3.95 postpaid.
Restoration
history students should get two reprints while they are still
available:
Memoirs
of Alexander Campbell
at
21.95 and
The
Campbell-Rice Debate
at
19.95, postpaid. And our own
The
Stone-Campbell Movement: An Anecdotal History of Three Churches
continues
to be read and appreciated at home and abroad, especially by the rank
and file. The price is 21.95 postpaid, or you can receive a bonus
copy by sending us eight new subs (you can count your own as new or
renewal) at 3.00 per name, total 24.00.
Marriage
in the Fast Lane,
by
Perry C. Cotham, is to be appreciated for its balance of theory and
practice. It properly calls itself a survival manual in an age when
marriage is having difficulty. Its practicality is touched by humor
in such titles as “Is Your Marriage Holy Wedlock or Wholly
Deadlock?” and “Are You Married ‘Till Debt Do Us
Part?’” And he talks meaningfully about sex, children,
unfaithfulness, conflicts, and even old marriages. 4.95 postpaid.
A
book soon to be published is
J.
B. Phillips: The Wounded Healer,
written
by his widow and assisted by a close friend. I look forward to this
book about a very human and influential Christian as well as a Bible
translator, for it tells the story of his lifetime struggle with
anxiety and depression. To read current Christian biography is an
excellent way to stay out on the growing edge. We will have this book
by the time you send us your order, 6.50 pp.
Anything
Michael Green writes is worth the while, including this new title
Running
from Reality,
in
which he argues that it is the agnostic, the secularist, the
hedonist, those who build Utopias and take refuge in Eastern
religions that are running from reality. It is a Christian apologetic
on escapism in our time. 4.25 pp.
We will still sell you a copy of a little book that could change your marriage and your life, or we will give you one if need be: Do Yourself a Favor: Love Your Wife. 3.65 postpaid.

Our
current series on
The
Adventures of the Early Church
will
encompass two volumes, extending through 1986, after which it will be
bound in one book to match previous volumes. It is not too early to
reserve a copy. Our upcoming bound volume, entitled
The
Doe of the Dawn,
will
have all the numbers for 1983-84. We will mail this book this spring
to all who have reserved a copy with invoice enclosed. We are still
accepting orders for this book and you need send no money.
Be
sure to send us both your old and new addresses before you move if
possible.
We
get good responses from our bound volume for 1981-82, entitled
Jesus
Today.
We will
send you a copy for 9.00.
You
can help us circulate this journal by sending us clubs of four or
more subs (including your own renewal) at 3.00 each for the year.
Otherwise the sub rate is 5.00 per year or 8.00 for two years. We
hope to hold the rate at these prices. If you send us eight names, total 24.00, we will send you a free copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett, but you must request the book with your order. Restoration Review, 1201 Windsor Dr., Denton, TX 76201 |
