BOOK NOTES

 

What Christ Thinks of the Church by John R. W. Stott is drawn from the seven letters to the churches in Revelation and is most insightful in showing what the church ought to be. It also gives one a deeper appreciation of the book of Revelation. $6.50 postpaid.

We have a new supply of the three books of devotional writings that we have frequently recommended in this column, but we regret that there has been a sharp increase in their cost. We can get them only from Scotland, and this may be the last time we will offer them. Two are by William Barclay: The Plain Man's Book of Prayers and More Prayers for the Plain Man. The price is $6.95 each. The prayers are beautiful, meaningful, and uplifting, and each is accompanied by a portion of Scripture, which makes them ideal for family devotions. The third book is A Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie, which are the most soul-searching prayers I have ever read. It is $7.95. if you order all three the price is $20.00 postpaid.

I am presently reading with both joy and profit Mitch Simpson's What the Bible Says About Prayer. The author is a great soul and he has put his soul and mind alike into this study. You will not only know more about prayer but you will pray better after reading this book. $13.95 postpaid.

What the Bible Says About Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage by Olan Hicks is disturbing some sacred cows. This book not only deals with all the questions that are raised on this subject but it comes to terms m a forceful way with all the prooftexts that have been used to prove too much. We are gratified that this liberating study is receiving a wide reading among Churches of Christ. $13.95 postpaid.

We have a few more copies of Carl Ketcherside's That The World May Believe, which was originally issued as The Death of the Custodian. This book is otherwise out of print. $3.95 each while they last.
