| BOOK NOTES |
Amy
Grant’s
Heart
to Heart Bible Stories
will
thrill the smaller children. The stories are all there, thirty of
them from both Testaments, and they are abundantly illustrated in
color. The stories have a special touch and are truly heart to heart.
The first one, for instance, on creation is entitled “Six
Wonderful Days.” Try it as a delightful gift for someone with
young children. $9.95 postpaid.
College
Press has issued two titles of special value in its “What the
Bible Says” series. Russell Boatman’s
What
the Bible Says About the Church
includes
vital information on the Lord’s Supper, the Lord’s Day,
Baptism, Unity, Polity, as well as extensive treatment on the nature
of the Ekklesia itself. Then there is
What
the Bible Says About Families
by
Bill and Judy Norris, which they might have entitled “A Family
Affair,” which figures since the authors are husband and wife.
It makes a resourceful and responsible effort to treat everything the
Bible says about the family of Eli and even the family of Pilate. It
is a tough discipline in Bible study. These books are $13.95 each and
can be ordered separately.
We
rejoice that Louis Cochran’s historical novels on Alexander
Campbell and Elder John Smith are back in print.
The
Fool of God
captures
not only Campbell and his times but what he was out to do, and it is
enormously interesting. So with
Raccoon
John Smith,
which
tells of pioneer America as well as pioneer preacher. You will fall
in love with Raccoon, and laugh and weep with him. You better acquire
these titles while they are in print if you are interested. They are
$11.95 each, postpaid.
We
now have William Barclay’s
The
Promise of the Spirit
in
inexpensive paperback. Alexander Campbell once said that the best way
to learn about the Holy Spirit is to study every passage in the New
Testament that mentions it. This is what Barclay does, and he treats
Greek meanings in a way that you can understand and appreciate. $5.95
postpaid.
If
you have not yet read Leroy Garrett’s
The
Stone-Campbell Movement,
we
urge you to consider doing so. We continue to receive enthusiastic
responses, some telling us that they read it again and again. We are
certain you will have a better understanding and appreciation of your
heritage in Churches of Christ/Christian Churches if you allow this
anecdotal history to tell you the story of what happened. There are
two ways to get a copy. Send a check for $21.95 and we will send you
the book postage paid. Or you receive a copy free gratis by sending
us a list of eight subscriptions (including your own or renewal) at
$3.00 per name, $24.00 total. But you
must
with
your list of subs request the book, for we get many lists of subs.
You might also be interested in bound volumes of this journal, which go back to 1977. Earlier volumes are out of print. Principles of Unity and Fellowship (1977) and The Ancient Order (1978) are $5.95 each; Blessed Are the Peacemakers/With All the Mind (1979-80), Jesus Today (1981-82), and The Doe of the Dawn (1983-84) are double volumes (two years in one binding) and are $10.50 each. We are presently offering all five volumes, covering eight years, for only $35.00, postpaid if you remit in advance.

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. RESTORATION
