BOOK NOTES

 

    It is encouraging that so many of our people want to know more about their heritage. For their benefit the following histories and biographies can be ordered from us: Life of Elder John Smith ($16.95); The Gospel Restored by Walter Scott ($14.95); Memoirs of Alexander Campbell ($23.95); Campbell-Rice Debate ($21.95); Raccoon John Smith and The Fool of God, historical novels by Louis Cochran ($11.95), the latter being on the life of Alexander Campbell.

    We have a super bargain on our bound volumes, five in number, which contain eight years of Restoration Review. Each volume is identified by its theme: Principles of Unity and Fellowship (1977); The Ancient Order (1978); Blessed Are the Peacemakers and With All the Mind (1979-80); Jesus Today (1981-82); The Doe of the Dawn (1983-84). A special price of $35.00 for all of them, postpaid. Separately the single volumes are $5.50 and the double volumes $10.50.

    C. S. Lewis enthusiasts (some people snap up everything he has written) will be interested in a new publication, The Latin Letters of C S. Lewis. He wrote these letters in Latin to a Roman Catholic priest and beautifully express his gracious charm and wisdom. They are of course translated into English. $5.75 postpaid.

    If ever a heart thirsted after God in prayer it was George Muller. You will learn what trust means by reading this man. The George Muller Treasury is a selection of his best stuff. $7.95 postpaid.

    If we suppose the persecution of Christians belongs to ages past, Richard Wurmbrand's Tortured for Christ will inform us otherwise. It is a story that comes out of the Underground Church and Communist prisons. Three million readers have been touched by this unbelievable book. $5.75 postpaid.

    If you want an informative, easy-to-read church history that covers the first several centuries, we highly recommend A Short History of the Early Church by Harry Boer. $6.95 postpaid.

    Julia Staton's What the Bible Says About Women starts out by noting that the Bible says a great deal about women, and it goes on to tell the reader what this is and what it means to women and the church today. $13.50 postpaid.
