Restoration Review, Vol. 31, No. 7, September 1989

The Bleating Sheep by Robert W. Blackshear contends that the great need of our day is for the church, as God's sheep, to be nourished by godly, qualified elders, who are to be shepherds to the flock. It calls for Body life and mutual ministry, and it questions the modern minister system. It is well titled in that it is a crisis" book, emerging from the agonizing needs of Churches of Christ. I read this book in manuscript form and told the author that if we believed and practiced what is set forth we would be a far more fruitful people. I am confident you will agree. $6.00 postpaid.

Michael Green is always worth reading, and this goes for his I Believe in the Holy Spirit, which was first published in 1975 but is now in a new edition. It treats virtually every aspect of the Holy Spirit, along with a chapter on the charismatic movement. While not himself charismatic, he seeks to be a bridge builder between those that are and those that are not. The thrust of the book is that the Holy Spirit is the means of unity in the church. $12.95 postpaid.

What the Bible Says About Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage by Olan Hicks is a liberating book for those caught up in all the legalism on this complex subject. The author believes that there is no law of God that forbids any divorced person from marrying. And he draws an important distinction between committing adultery and "living in adultery," There is no such thing as the latter, he contends. Persuasive and biblical. $13.95 postpaid.

We will still send you a free copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett when you send us 8 subs to this paper at $3.00 each (total $24.00), including your own, new or renewal. But you must request the book. Otherwise you may purchase this widely-read and sometimes controversial history for $24.00, which is bargain enough since it is over 700 pages.
