| BOOK NOTES |
The
Fool of God
by
Louis Cochran is back in print in handsome hardback and we will send
you a copy for 12.50 postpaid. This is a historical novel on the life
of Alexander Campbell. The author, now deceased, was a friend of
mine, and he told me that everything in the book can be documented as
factual. It is a delightful way to become acquainted with Campbell
and those about him.
Other
important titles about our heritage are available from our office:
Memoirs
of Alexander Campbell
(21.95),
Campbell-Rice
Debate
(19.95),
Elder
John Smith (13.50), Elder Ben Franklin
(15.95).
Prices include postage.
For
general American church history you will delight in the two-volume
set by Edwin S. Gaustad entitled
A
Documentary History of Religion in America,
which
takes you from the Puritans to the Mormons, from the Salem witch
trials to the war over abortion with lots of pictures, including
Alexander Campbell (and a selection from Barton Stone), though it
gives the wrong name to Campbell’s wife pictured with him, the
first wife’s name for the second. This set is a veritable gold
mine of information and you can start reading anywhere. The set,
34.00, nearly 1200 pages.
Many
of our people are students of William Barclay’s
Daily
Bible Study,
an
18-volume commentary covering all the New Testament. We can supply
these at 6.95 per volume in soft cover or 115.00 for the set. You can
now get the
Daily
Bible Study
on
the Old Testament as they are published, with fifteen now available.
You might start with
The
Twelve Prophets
(Vol.
I) and
Isaiah
(Vol.
I) and add to your set in time. These are 6.95 each, postpaid. I am
confident that once you start you will want all these books.
A
fair and impressive treatment of our national problems is John
Whitehead’s
The
Stealing of America.
He
asks whether our nation is being stolen by radical liberals and
secular humanists right out from under our noses. He deals with the
devaluation of human life and traditional values, the family,
education, the courts, and the church. You would do well to read this
man. 7.50 postpaid.
Our
newer subscribers may want to know what we’ve said in years
past, this being our 33rd year of publication, though this includes
all our readers. We will send you a random selection of 18 back
issues, some as old as the 1960’s for only 3.00. But we mail
these only once a month, along with our regular mailing.
The
Doe of the Dawn,
the
bound volume of this journal for 1983-84, will be mailed to you
sometime this summer, with invoice enclosed, if you have sent us your
order. The price will be less than 10.00. Previous bound volumes
still available from our office:
Principles
of Unity and Fellowship
(1977)
and
The
Ancient Order
(1978),
arc 5.95 each.
Blessed
Are the Peacemakers/With All the Mind
(1979-80)
and
Jesus
Today
(1981-82)
are 9.00 each. They are hardbound, matching volumes with dust-jackets
and beautifully bound.
Since so many take advantage or the offer, we continue to offer Leroy Garrett’s The Stone-Campbell Movement:/An Anecdotal History of Three Churches as a bonus when you send us eight subscriptions, new or renewal (24.00 total). Or you may order this much-discussed, much-reviewed, much abused history of our churches for 21.95, postpaid, from us. Restoration Review, 1201 Windsor Dr., Denton, Texas 76201
