The
Hope of the Believer . . . Restoration Review, Vol. 31, No. 10, December 1989
K.
C. Moser's books continue to be appealing, not only because he was a
fore-runner for more open thinking among Churches of Christ, but also because
of his insight into the grace of God. The
Gist of Romans and The Way of Salvation
are still in print at $6.50 each postpaid. Leslie
G. Thomas was another pioneer for greater freedom among our people, and his
story is told in Recollections of
Ninety
One Years by Lila Rogers Newsom.
This book is not only important Church of Christ history as reflected in one
long, sincere life, but it is good Americana, including reflections on
presidential campaigns. $8.00 postpaid. Leslie
Newbigin is always worth reading because of his being an ecumenical statesman
for so long. His books are influenced by his passion for unity. The
Light Has Come is an exposition of the gospel of John, which is more
practical than it is technical. Due to his long years as a missionary in India
and his knowledge of Hindu culture this book has special relevance to our own
culture. $11.50 postpaid. John
Stott's great little book on What Christ
Thinks of
the Church is unfortunately out
of print. We were able to get a few of the last copies available. $5.95
postpaid for as long as they last. It
is now a decade old, but it is as relevant as ever. You should read Whatever
Happened to the Human Race? by C. Everett Koop and Francis Schaeffer.
Koop, you recall, was until recently surgeon general. In this book he speaks
out on abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia as only he can do. This book may
shock you, but you will likely be a more sensitive person from reading it. $6.95
postpaid. We
are still stocking Faith Martin's Call
Me Blessed, which is an enlightening study of woman's role in the church.
$8.95 postpaid. Three
views are held about the nature of hell. It is an everlasting fire of
punishment; it is a temporary penitential fire (purgatory); it is a consuming
fire of destruction. Edward Fudge's
The Fire That Consumes takes the third position, and he presents his
case with disarming logic. The chances are he will convince you from the
Scriptures that the wicked are not destined to endless punishment in hell, but
you should read for yourself. $19.95 postpaid. Those
interested in Restoration history should not neglect one of its greatest
princes, David Lipscomb. Crying In The
Wilderness by Robert E. Hooper is the story of the longtime editor of the Gospel
Advocate and one of the founders of the Church of Christ in the South.
$14.95 postpaid. I
may be biased, but if you are interested in what really happened in Church of
Christ / Christian Church beginnings, then read The
Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett. $21.95 postpaid. You may also
get this book as a free bonus when you send eight subs for this journal, new
or renewal, including your own, at $3.00 each, total $24.00. You have to
request the free book. We

only $3.00. These are mailed once a month with the regular mailing of the
paper. Selected back issues are 40 cents each plus postage.
