BOOK NOTES

 

Dorothy Pape has written an exciting novel about John the Baptist, No Greater Born, in which she explains why Jesus would say there is none greater than John and why John never joined forces with Jesus. The novel can be an effective device in exploring truth. You will like this one. 7.50 postpaid.

Pat Robertson and Bob Slosser have put together a worthwhile book dealing with principles or laws of the kingdom of God, entitled The Secret Kingdom. You will be impressed with its relevance to our world today. 6.50 postpaid.

The book by our President on Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation is worth having, not only because it deals with a crucial moral issue by a sitting President, but also because it has chapters by Dr. Everett Koop and Malcolm Muggeridge. Imagine a book like this coming out of the Kremlin! We Americans must count our blessings. 7.95 postpaid.

A book with such a happy title as How to Live with Kids and Enjoy It has to have something going for it. It tells how to talk to them about sex, how to deal with sibling rivalry, their peers, and how to understand kids better. 4.95 postpaid.

A new book on How to Manage Yourself and Others by Francis Szarejko, a man with experience in running a city, tells you how to help others by helping yourself. It deals with the difficult question of how to apply Christian values to your business. 5.50 postpaid.

Ben Alexander, a Christian Church minister, has had more experience with the occult than most anyone, for he was once a medium himself. His new book on Out From Darkness, which tells it all, will curl your hair. 5.50 postpaid.

If you would like to read something that makes sense of “the Rapture” and pretribulationism, as to whether the rapture is silent and secret, then we recommend The Rapture: A Question of Timing by William R. Kimball. You will at least be informed, which is something for these “end time” books. 6.50 postpaid.

The Stone-Campbell Movement: An Anecdotal History of Three Churches by Leroy Garrett is going into another printing. We are moving toward 10,000 copies sold, which is incredible for a book on church history, and it is not inexpensive a 21.95. But if you send us a check for that amount we will pay the postage and put the book in the mail to you the same day. Or you can earn a copy free if you get up a list of eight or more subs to this journal at 3.00 each (24.00).

The able craftsman who binds this journal into bound volumes a small shop operator, has had health problems, and so The Doe of the Dawn, the bound edition of this journal for 1983-84, has been delayed. But we are hopeful of sending the copy you ordered sometime in October. It is not too late to order, and you need send no money. We will enclose an invoice with the book since we do not yet have the exact price.

Please when ordering books do not ask us to bill you. Since the above prices include postage it is no problem to figure the correct amount.

Tract of Interest

At my side is For Restoring the Restoration, which is “A Call for Unity Based Upon Love and Tolerance,” which is a 15-page tract written under a pen name, which may suggest that it really says something. It concludes with “Let us restore the restoration, remove ourselves from the dictates of small legalistic thinking. Let us change the face of the ‘Church of Christ,’ where it is a small clannish group, dividing and splitting hairs, into the ecumenical ‘Church of Christ,’ as Christ prayed we would be.” You may get two copies for a dollar from Ernst Diener, Box 26044, Ft. Worth, TX 76116.

History Book Commended

These recent comments, from white and black brethren alike, may encourage you to read The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett.

Just a note to tell you how much I have benefitted by your book, The Stone-Campbell Movement. It is a moving experience to read it. You almost place a person back in the days when the events transpired. Accept my thanks for doing the people who are the heirs of the Restoration Movement such a glorious favor. —Ivory James, Jr., West Palm Beach, FL

Your book is excellent. May you be blessed for your work toward unity. —Jerry Veatch, Lyons, KS

But a commendation that transcends anything the publisher or I could have expected is an offer by a physician in California to send the book free of charge to any preacher within the Movement free gratis, the only condition being that he will promise to read it within sixty days. This has called for a special printing. Assuming you are not a preacher, we can send the book to you for 21.95 post-paid if you send a check with your order.

When you send us a change of address be sure to send both your old and new addresses, for we locate you in our files by zip code and not by name.

Our most appreciative readers are often introduced to the paper by someone who is thoughtful enough to send us their name. In clubs of four or more, new or renewal (including your own) the sub rate is but 3.00 per year per name. You might well bless someone who longs for a deeper and broader fellowship. Single subs are 5.00 per year; 8.00 for two years.
