BOOK NOTES

 

With this issue we complete the theme we have followed the past two years, The Hope of the Believer. These two years, 1989-90, will be bound into an attractive book of 400 pages under that title with an introduction, index, and dust jacket. It will match the previous volumes, which are ideal as a permanent addition to your library. The new bound volume should be ready by early spring. The price will be $14.00 postpaid. You should place your order now, though you need send no money. We will enclose an invoice when we ship you the book.

Another of our bound volumes, the one for 1979-80, is no longer available, but we still have six volumes available, dating from 1977 through 1988, except for 1979-80. You can get all six for $58.00 postpaid. If you have not seen how attractive and useful these are, you might order our last one for 1987 -88, entitled The Sense of Scripture: Principles of Interpretation at $14.00 postpaid.

We will send you 15 back issues of this journal, selected at random by us, for only $4.00, or 25 copies for $6.00, postpaid. This is a good way for newer readers to sample what we have been saying through the years.

We are pleased that so many have read The Stone-Campbell Movement: An Anecdotal History of Three Churches by Leroy Garrett, and that it continues to be commended as both interesting and informative. You may receive a copy from us in one of two ways: Order it at $21.95 postpaid or receive a bonus copy by sending us a club of seven subs at $4.00 each (total of $28.(0). But you must request the book. This is a good way to get the history book, perhaps for a gift, and also help us increase our circulation for our last two years.

Edward Fudge’s The Fire That Consumes has been described as “One of the most important books produced by conservative evangelicals in this century,” and this is because it exposes as wrong the traditional view that final punishment in hell is unending. It takes the position that the fire of hell consumes the wicked, that the wages of sin is death. You will be impressed! We will send you a copy for $23.50 postpaid.

A few months back we advertised two books by David H. C. Read, who is always worth reading, namely This Grace Given and Grace Thus Far, which Ouida and I read with delight. They are out of print. We got an armful from the publisher as they went out of print and offered both of them for $8.95 postpaid, which is half price. We ran out and had to return checks. Now the publisher sends us another fistful that he found on some back shelf. We offer them at the same price while they last.

A delightful book that we like to sell since it opens up the subject of the woman’s place in the church is Call Me Blessed by Faith Martin. It provides new insights into a troubling question and it is eminently biblical. $8.95 postpaid.

We at last have assurance from College Press that Carl Ketcherside’s Pilgrimage of Joy will be published, perhaps by spring. Those who have ordered the book are listed in our computer and will receive it as soon as it is available. The pre-publication price is still $15.00 postpaid. We appreciate your placing your order in advance in that there is a cash flow problem in getting out this particular book.

John Fogarty’s Countdown for Unity, published in 1962, makes interesting reading in view of what has happened in Eastern Europe, for he dealt with unity as a global possibility and in reference to what might happen to Communism and Catholicism. But his call for unity is in the person of Christ. It is a remarkable book out of the 1960’s by a Church of Christ missionary. It is out of print but we have access to a few “attic” copies. Only $4.50 postpaid.

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. Foreign: $8.00 yr.
