Soon to be published is When Aids Come to Church by William E. Morris, Jr., who is pastor of a church that was invaded by AIDS. This book is not theories about the disease but about how a church prepared itself to respond biblically and compassionately to a problem that may in time come to most every church. You may place your order for April delivery at $10.50 postpaid.

My World Was Falling Apart, by Larry Shumaker and Ivan Jameson is a book about surviving bankruptcy, facing old age, accepting the death of loved ones, dealing with a debilitating disease and even blindness. And all of it in reference to the Bible. One way to deal with seemingly unbearable pain is to see how others have done it. $5.95 postpaid.

Walt Yancey's Endangered Heritage: An Examination of Church of Christ Doctrine is what the title implies. It is a rich Source of material from our pioneers on such subjects as baptism, the Lord's supper, instrumental music, fellowship, and whether the Church of Christ is a denomination. While the Church of Christ press has not received the book with open arms, we suggest that you read it and decide for yourself. $12.95 postpaid.

We at last have a book that comes to terms with virtually every question and every passage having to do with divorce and remarriage. Olan Hicks has done his homework in What The Bible Says About Marriage. Divorce and Remarriage. He takes the position that forbidding marriage to the divorced is heresy. $13.95.
