| BOOK NOTES |
Thanks
to College Press we have an impressive library of titles about our heritage in
the Stone-Campbell movement. If you are interested in our history you'd do
well to obtain these reprints while they are still available: The Fool of
God by Louis Cochran, a novel-biography of Alexander Campbell, $12.50
postpaid; Alexander Campbell: Preacher of Reform and Re-former of
Preaching, by Alger M. Fitch, $12.50 postpaid; Moses Lard: That Prince
of Preachers, by Kenneth Van Deusen, $15.50 postpaid; Biography of Barton W. Stone, by B. W. Stone and
John Rogers, $12.50 postpaid; Captives of the Word, by Louis and Bess
Cochran, a bird's eye view of the movement from the days of Stone and Campbell
to the present, $13.50 postpaid; Biography of Thomas Campbell, Advocate of
Christian Union, W. H. Hanna, $12.50 postpaid.
We
can also supply another significant reprint, The Gospel Restored, by
Walter Scott, which is one of the more substantive works of our heritage,
$15.50 postpaid. Also Raccoon John Smith by Louis Cochran, which is
rich in Americana as well as the story of one of our greatest evangelists,
$12.50 postpaid.
Also
for your Restoration library is The Memoirs of Alexander Campbell by
Robert Richardson at $23.95 postpaid, and The Life of Elder John Smith by
John A. Williams at $15.50 postpaid.
For
the story of the whole movement we recommend our own The Stone-Campbell
Movement, An Anecdotal history of Three Churches by Leroy Garrett, which
is especially appreciated by the non-specialist who wants to know what
happened and why. We have had extraordinary expressions of appreciation for
this book. We are so confident that you too will appreciate it that we could
offer it on a money-back guarantee. $21.95
postpaid.
Our
readers must be interested in women's ministry in the church, for they are
reading Call Me Blessed by Faith Martin, which contends that women may
scripturally have a greater role than the male-dominated church has given
them, and yet it is a balanced view. We have a new supply and will send you a
copy for $8.95 postpaid.

You will remember that we do not publish in July and August. The next issue will be the September number. We still offer a free copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement by
Leroy Garrett when you send us a club of eight subs (new or renewal, your own
included) at $3.00 per name, a total of $24.00. Otherwise sub rate is
$5.00 per year or $8.00 for two years. But you must request the book. We will also send you 18 back issues of this journal, selected at random by us, for only $3.00. |
