BOOK NOTES

 

The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries are distinctive in that they seek to set forth what the text actually says and what it means, and to do so concisely. They deal with the main issues without being technical. We can send you the volume on Matthew at the special price of only $4.05 postpaid. If you like it, you can add other volumes at your own pace.

This Bicentennial year is a good time to read An American Dream by John W. Whitehead, which shows that resistance, rights, and hope are at the heart of the American experiment. This is a tough look at America's new philosophy of secularism. The chapter on the American mind, which the author traces to the Declaration of Independence,  will  thrill  you.  $8.95 postpaid.

The National Review described Richard Wurmbrand's Tortured for Christ as shattering book, if you read it you can never forget it." The author spent 14 years in Communist prisons, and he tells about the anguish of brainwashing and mental cruelty.  And  to  think  that  thousands continually suffer in this way! As God's people in such a world we need to be informed on  what  is going on.  $5.50 postpaid

We recommend the New Westminster Dictionary of the Bible as second to none, Strong in archaeology, it has over 450 illustrations. Up to date, easy to read. $22.50 postpaid.
