Restoration Review, Vol. 31, No. 9, November 1989

We are pleased to announce that our latest bound volume of this journal (1987-88) will be ready to mail before year's end. It will be beautifully bound in hardcover with dustjacket, with an introduction and table of contents, and under the title The Sense of Scripture: Studies in Interpretation. We are able to hold the price at $12.50, which is the price of the previous bound volume, Adventures of the Early Church, (1985-86).This makes seven bound volumes now available, from 1977-88, and if you order them all the special price is $65.00, postpaid. A few of these are in short supply.

We also have loose copies available back to the 1960's, but not in complete sets. If you select the numbers, they are 50 cents each, postpaid, as available. We will send you 18 back copies1 selected at random by us, for only $4.00, postpaid.

Our most popular special offer is a free copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett when you send us eight subs to this journal, new or renewal, including your own. It is also our favorite offer in that it introduces the paper to many new readers, which is the object of the offer.

Special offers or no, we urge you to help us place this paper in the hands of more people who maybe blessed by it. We figure we have but a few more years at best, and we would like to make the most of the short time that is left. You can subscribe for others (and yourself) for only $3.00 per year per name in clubs of four or more.

Wilbur S. Johnson, who works among Christian Churches and others, has written a book (self-published) that Ouida and I have been reading with appreciation. It is entitled Faith Alive in Heart, Home and Church, and once you read it you will agree that it is well named. We can send you a copy for only $5.00 postpaid.

For many years I have seen references to Harold Bell Wright's The Shepherd of the Hills, especially in British sources, but I was never able to find it in print. I have at last found its American publisher and we are adding it to the books we offer our readers. It is a touching story of the simple life and simple values in the Ozark hill country. $10.50 postpaid.

With a touch of humor Michael Green says the Cross is too important to be left with theologians as he refers to his The Empty Cross of Jesus, but he is more than serious when he writes of the Cross as the heart of the Good News. Always worth reading, Green in this book shows what the Cross means to ordinary people by explaining why Jesus had to die. $7.95 postpaid.

Jack Cottrell of Cincinnati Bible Semi-nary has written a splendid little volume on Baptism: A Biblical Study. It is ideal for either individual or class study. $6.75 postpaid.

Bill and Judy Norris, who are not really old enough to be writing a book on What The Bible Says About Growing Old, have nonetheless done so, and they are a pair that does all things well. You will delight in their practical suggestions. $13.95 postpaid.

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.
