BOOK NOTES

 

One of my favorite preachers is David H. C. Read, who was a chaplain during World War II and longtime speaker on National Radio Pulpit. He is so good that I read his stuff to Ouida. I have been able to get two of his books at a special price, and as long as they last I will pass them on to you at half price. This Grace Given and Grace Thus Far tell of his struggle with grace from boyhood to five years as a P.O.W during the war to his life as a minister. You will be edified. They are usually $8 .95 each, but you can get them both for that price, postpaid.

Another volume of special interest to me is Countdown for Unity by John Fogarty, which is in the class with K. C. Moser’s writings in that he was a man ahead of his time. Written in 1963, he treats unity as a global problem, and looks at Communism, Catholicism, and Protestantism in terms of the contribution they can make toward the unity of all believers. He gives a sympathetic treatment of Vatican 2 and the Ecumenical Movement. He pleads for unity not in any doctrinal system or church but only in Jesus Christ. To be written by a Church of Christ missionary in the 1960’s it is an unbelievable book. Since these surfaced out of someone’ s attic we are making them available for what they sold for originally, only $4.50 postpaid.

We will send you 18 back issues of this journal, selected at random by us, for only $3.00. This below-cost offer enables you to see what we have been saying all these years.

It is important to us all, including the postal service, for you to inform us well in advance of any address change. It is an expensive item for us when the post office has to inform us after you have moved, and it causes you to miss the paper.

You may still place your order with us for Carl Ketcherside’s autobiography, Pilgrimage of Joy, at $15.00 postpaid, but the book will not be ready until late this year. But we are assured that it will be forthcoming.

Faith Martin’s Call Me Blessed continues to be a favorite for those who are looking for answers on the ministry of women in the church. We still have copies at $8.95 pp.

Subscription Rates: $6.00 per year or two years for $10.00. In clubs of three or more (sent to separate addresses by us) $4.00 per name per year. Outside the U.S.A. $8.00 per year.
