BOOK NOTES

 

When we first announced Amy Grant’s Heart to Heart Bible Stories a few months back, the reception was positive. We have a new supply at $9.95 postpaid. The stories have a special touch and are truly heart to heart. The Feeding of the Multitude becomes “A Big Picnic” and the Hebrew flight from Egypt is “Journey to Freedom,” and you’ll recognize “Lions in the Night” and “The Widow’s Jar.” It is enriched with colorful illustrations, and Amy is on the cover with children about her.

The Bible Speaks to You by Robert McAfee Brown is a very resourceful volume, rich in information about the Bible and scores of questions related to Bible study, such as Why is there evil?, Why did people want to kill Jesus?, What happens when I die? As revealing as any topic is on the nature of the Bible itself. $9.50 postpaid.

Michael Green’s The Day Death Died gets to the heart of the transforming power of the gospel message. He shows how much is settled for us in both time and eternity if Jesus is the risen Christ. $3.75 postpaid.

Robert H. Schuller may not be everyone’s hero, but he says a lot of good things in his books, which have a way of making the bestseller lists. His Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do! will encourage you and we can send a copy for $6.50 postpaid. His latest volume, The Be (Happy) Attitudes sets forth eight positive attitudes, based on Jesus’ beatitudes, that he says will change your life. $12.95 postpaid.

You will find Bruce Parmenter one of the best writers among Churches of Christ-Christian Churches, and his What the Bible Says About Self-Esteem, which is part of a series published by College Press, is really good stuff. The book is hardly titled correctly since it is really 373 pages of rich devotional studies, short, resourceful, inspiring. Ideal for personal devotions or family table readings. Each devotional has a well-chosen memory verse. We highly recommend this book at 13.95 in hardback, postpaid.

We have two specials going that may interest you. You can still get a free copy ($21.95 retail value) of The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett when you send us eight subs to this paper, new or renewal, including your own, at $3.00 per name, total $24.00. You must request the book when you submit the list. We are also offering all five of our available bound volumes, inclusive of seven years of Restoration Review for only $35.00. These are all hardbound, matching volumes, with dust jackets, beautifully bound.


When you send us a change of address, please give us both your old and new addresses.

You can send this paper to others for only $3.00 per year for each name in clubs of four or more. We do the mailing from this office. If you prefer a bundle to be sent to your home, the rate is the same. Some of our most grateful readers discovered us through the kind offices of such a friend. When you renew your sub, you can add three names, all for only $12.00. It may prove to be an important way to reach out to others.
