The Hope of the Believer . . .

Restoration Review, Vol. 31, No. 6, June 1989


BOOK NOTES

Our bound volume of this journal for 1985-86, titled The Adventures of the Early Church, is now available in a handsome hardcover library edition, beautifully bound with dustjacket, introduction, and table of contents. It matches the previous volumes. The cost is $12.50 postpaid. If you have reserved a copy of this volume it has already been mailed to you or soon will be. We now have six bound volumes of this journal, covering ten years of publication (1977-1986), which make an imposing little library. When you order all six volumes there is a special price of $55.00. The bound volume for 1987-88 will be next to be offered.

Alexander Campbell's The Christian System has at last been republished. It contains the essence of his plea for reform. $12.95 postpaid.

Biography may be the best way to study history, including our own. Don DeWelt's Happy On My Way To Heaven is his own life's story. Being publisher, editor, professor, and minister, he provides insight into recent Christian Church history. A delightful chronicle of faith, hardship, and hope. $8.50 postpaid.

Jack P. Lewis, a professor at Harding Graduate School of Religion (Churches of Christ) has authored Exegesis of Difficult Passages, which treats 21 difficult passages. $10.50 postpaid.

For those troubled by or interested in Armstrongism, we recommend The Plain Truth About Armstrongism by Roger Chambers, an up-to-date examination, including the story of Armstrong's excommunication of his son Garner Ted. $8.50 postpaid.

Our new readers might like to see what we have been saying in years past. For them and others we offer 18 issues of this journal, selected at random by us from issues that go back 20 years or more, for only $3.00. Some who read these decide they want all our bound volumes.

We offer a free copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett when you send us a club of eight subs to this paper, new or renewal, including your own, at $3.00 each, $24.00 total. But you have to request the book with your order.

We continue to mention Edward Fudge's The Fire That Consumes because it has proved to be such a challenging book, one that questions traditional views about hell and endless punishment. The price is $19.95 postpaid.

Our readers have responded well to Faith Martin's Call Me Blessed, which is an enlightening overview of woman's role in the Bible, which she believes has been unduly influenced by our male-dominated culture. It is both a gentle and thoughtful study. $8.95 postpaid.

What the Bible Says About Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage by Olan Hicks is a courageous departure from traditional teaching in Churches of Christ and other churches. He argues persuasively from the Scriptures that all divorced people have the right to marry, and he challenges the notion of "living in adultery." $13.95 postpaid.

We recommend several titles on Restoration history: Endangered Heritage by Walt Yancey ($12.95); Moses Lard, That Prince of Preachers by Kenneth Van Deusen ($14.95); The Fool of God by Louis Cochran, a historical novel on the life of Alexander Campbell ($10.95); The Sage of Bethany: A Pioneer in Broadcloth by Perry Gresham, also on Campbell ($12.95); The Well Ordered Home, Alexander Campbell and the Family, by Edwin Groover ($12.95).

We will send you 18 back issues of this journal, selected at random by us, for only $3.00. Some issues go back 20 years and more, ideal for newer readers who would like to see what we have been saying through the years.

 

NOTE:  You are to remember that we do not publish this journal in July and August. Our next issue will be the September number. Ouida and I wish you  a pleasant summer.
