BOOK NOTES

 

Olan Hicks has done us a great service in questioning our traditional position on divorce and remarriage. His larger book on this subject, often listed in this column, is now out of print but a new edition is expected. He now has a 96-page condensation entitled Divorce and Remarriage: The Issue Made Clear, which has all the basic stuff. We will send you a copy for $4.50 postpaid.

R. L. Gibson^'s Christian, You Were Baptized In Water and Spirit argues persuasively that every real Christian receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit when he becomes a Christian. He supports his position by a host of scholarly references both inside and outside our tradition. This book will challenge your thinking. $7.95 postpaid.

The Bleating Sheep by Robert Blackshear is saying, as the title implies, that God's people eager to be fed, but they are hindered by a system more interested in preserving itself than in feeding God^'s sheep. The problem, the author argues, is that elders and evangelists are not doing the work God ordained them to do. Extensive use of material from Carl Ketcherside does not hurt the author's case. $6.50 postpaid.

Carl Ketcherside's autobiography, Pilgrimage of Joy, with an introduction by Leroy Garrett, will soon be off the press. If you send us your order now, you get the prepublication price of $15.00 postpaid.

A new book titled Kingdom Come by John V. Taylor, a retired Anglican bishop, takes the reader on a journey to and into the kingdom that Jesus made the manifesto of his ministry. At the heart of Jesus' faith was "Thy kingdom come,^" so this book seeks to understand what he meant by that. $9.50 postpaid.
