BOOK NOTES

 

This is a good time to urge you to read C. S. Lewis, for several of his most important works are available in inexpensive paperbacks: Miracles (3.95); Great Divorce (3.50); Screwtape Letters (3.50); Mere Christianity (3.50;) Problem of Pain (3.95); The Pilgrim’s Regress (3.95); prices postpaid. If you order all six, only 18.50 postpaid.

For only 9.95 postpaid we will send you a copy of Interpreting Revelation by Merrill C. Tenney, which continues to be popular with our readers. It is widely accepted as an able and careful treatment of a difficult portion of Scripture.

For those in search of more serious study aids there is now the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (Kittel) abridged in one volume. While it abridges nine volumes into one, it preserves the heart of this unparalled source of information. 44.95 postpaid, hardcover, 1356 pages.

Rubel Shelly’s I Just Want to Be a Christian is challenging the Churches of Christ to have a less sectarian plea and a broader view of brotherhood, and it is not without flak. We can supply it for 10.95 postpaid.

Right out of recent church history is A Martyr for the Truth, the story of Jerzy Popietuszko, the priest who gave up his life for his faith in Poland. This book provides insights into the life of the church and the struggle for freedom in that troubled country. 6.95 postpaid.

For a thrilling, easy-to-read account of the church for the first several centuries, we recommend Harry R. Boer’s A Short History of the Early Church. 6.95 postpaid.

You will be impressed with the bound copies of this journal in matching volumes back to 1977 (earlier ones are no longer available), with colorful dust jackets. Principles of Unity and Fellowship (1977) and The Ancient Order (1978), single volumes, are 5.95 each. Blessed Are The Peacemakers and With All The Mind (1979-80) and Jesus Today (1981-82), double volumes, are 9.00 each. Prepaid only please. The bound volume for 1983-84, entitled The Doe of the Dawn, should be ready by summer. You can help circulate this journal through our club rate for four or more names (no limit) at 3.00 per year per name. You send us the names and we do the mailing. Bundle rates to one address is the same rate. Some of our most appreciative readers are those who were introduced to the journal by someone else, so why not give this a chance with some of your friends. If you send us eight subs (counting your own or your renewal) at 3.00 each (total 24.00), we will send you a free copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett, but you have to request the book.
