| BOOK NOTES |
Many
of our readers will know of David Reagan and his Lamb and Lion Ministries,
but they may not know of his recently published book, Trusting
God, which is autobiographical in that it tells of his saga from
"20 years of running from God," as he puts it, with all their
incredible ups and downs, to his present ministry, which is an unlikely
one, considering his background, which was mainline
Church of Christ. His frequent references to his background will interest
Church of Christ readers, even if a bit chastening. Order directly from
him at Drawer K, McKinney, TX 75069, $7.00 postpaid.
Our
readers continue to benefit from William Neil's Difficult
Sayings of Jesus and More Difficult
Sayings of Jesus. They include such as: "You are not far from the
kingdom of God" to "The Sabbath was made for man and not man for
the Sabbath," scores of difficult sayings explained by a very
readable and eminent Scottish theologian. $9.50
for both, postpaid.
Those
who collect Restoration studies will want Crying
in the Wilderness, a biography of David Lipscomb by Robert E. Hooper.
$15.95 postpaid.
This
bicentennial year is a good time to read John W. Whitehead's An
American Dream. He shows how our founding fathers dreamed of
resistance, rights, and hope:
We
are pleased to recommend Paul:
Apostle of the Heart Set Free by F. F. Bruce, a veritable goldmine of
information on Paul, the New Testament, and the early church. $21.50
postpaid.
One
might say that anything written by C. S. Lewis is worth reading and that
may go for anything about him as
well. Lovers of Lewis will want a copy of David Barrett's C. S.
Lewis and His World, which we can send you for $10.50 postpaid.
John R. W. Stott is another perennial favorite, and his latest is The Cross of Christ, which Stott sees as the basis of believing in God. $15.50 postpaid.
