The
Bible Speaks to You
by
Robert McAfee Brown is a veritable goldmine of relevant information
about the Bible and its meaning for us. He deals with such questions
as to how God makes himself known, why people wanted to kill Jesus,
why it isn’t enough to live a good life, what happens when I
die. You will delight in this book. $9.50 postpaid.
You
have heard about the rapture, but it may be a confusing subject to
you. William R. Kimball’s
The
Rapture: A Question of Timing
treats
the subject in the framework of “the blessed hope” and
its meaning. It is a fair, objective, informative study of a crucial
part of Scripture. $6.50 postpaid.
Those
interested in studying non-Christian religions can read
Christian
Faith and Other Faiths
by
the late Stephen Neill, an Oxford scholar who always wrote good
stuff. The reading may be a bit heavy but if you will work at it you
will be treated to the beliefs and perplexities of other religions.
He even deals with those who have no faith and secularism. $7.95
postpaid.
The
New Westminster Dictionary of the Bible
may
well be the best of its kind, wellwritten and thorough, 450
illustrations. Oodles of information. $22.95 postpaid.
Robert
Schuller’s
The
Be Happy Attitudes
gives you eight positive attitudes that can transform your life. It
shows how relevant and exciting Jesus’s beatitudes can be when
applied to our attitudes. He gives a lot of thoughtful one-liners
like “I’d rather change my mind and succeed than have my
own way and fail,” and “God’s care will carry you
so you can carry others.” $12.95 postpaid.
For
the youngsters we highly recommend Amy Grant’s
Heart
to Heart Bible Stories.
$9.95
postpaid.
We
are sometimes asked if any of Carl Ketcherside’s book are still
in print. We have one title available,
That
the World May Believe,
which
is a reprint of his
The
Death of the Custodian,
which
is a study of the covenants. This is a suitable paperback to pass
along to serious students, and so we are offering them at three for
$5.00, postage paid.
Some
of our newer readers might be interested in what we have said years
ago. We will send you a packet of 18 back issues, selected at random,
for only $4.00, postpaid, mailed out only once a month when we mail
the paper.
Our
older readers (and younger ones, too) will appreciate a book on
growing older with meaning and hope, which has a chapter on “Growing
Older Instead of Old” and another on “Spiritual Resources
for Aging.” The book is
Vintage
Years
by
William E. Hulme, who tells stories about aging people as he makes
his points. $10.95 postpaid.
Who Do Americans Say That I Am? is a message to how we might infuse new life into the churches based upon information drawn from polls in reference to what our neighbors believe about Jesus Christ. The polls reveal that churches are not adequately meeting the spiritual needs of people. To say the least, we are likely to minister to people more effectively if we know what they believe about Jesus. This is a challenging book. $9.95 postpaid.

You can help circulate this journal through our club rate of four or more names (no limit) at $3.00 each per year per name. You send us the names and we do the mailing. Bundle rate to one address is the same rate. Some of our most appreciative readers are those who were introduced to the journal by someone else. Upwards of 10,000 copies of The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett have been sold, and we continue to receive enthusiastic responses. If you send a check with your order, we will send you a copy for $21.95 and we will pay the postage. Or you can get a free copy by sending us eight subs to this journal, new or renewals, including your own, at $3.00 per name ($24.00), but you must request the book. Since our sub list is by zip codes and not by names, it is important that you send us both your old and new addresses when you move. Restoration Review, 1201 Windsor Dr., Denton, TX 76201 |
