BOOK NOTES

 

I am reading with deep appreciation a new book by Homer Hailey on The Divorced and Remarried Who Would Come to God. It holds interest to me because in recent years brother Hailey has been maligned for the position he takes in this book by those with whom he has long been associated, the conservative, non-Herald of Truth Churches of Christ. In this book Homer Hailey, who was my teacher at ACU and a man I have long loved and respected, takes a position on divorce and remarriage similar to the position I have long taken in this journal. He says he will not legislate where God has not legislated, and so he concludes that the divorced may remarry with God’s approval. We will send you a copy for only $5.50 postpaid.

If you want to gird yourself for a conversation with a Mormon elder, you should study The Bible and Mormon Scriptures by Charles Crane. It will leave you wondering how anybody could be a Mormon. The answer is that they do not know what is in this book or even their own books. $5.95 post-paid.

If you need a sensible guide in making your way through the Bible—and we can all use help!—I suggest How To Understand The Bible by Robert Palmer. $6.95 postpaid.

We are pleased that we still get enthusiastic responses to my history of our people in Churches of Christ-Christian Churches entitled The Stone-Campbell Movement: An Anecdotal History of Three Churches. We will send you a copy for $21.95, and we are confident you will be pleased. Or you can get a free copy when you send us eight subs, new or renewals (including your own), to this journal at $4.00 each, total $28.00. You must request the free book, please.

Our bound volume for 1989-90 entitled The Hope of the Believer will soon go to the bindery and should be ready by spring. You should reserve your copy now, and the book will be sent to you with invoice enclosed. We have six other bound volumes dating from 1977-88, except for 1979-80, all of which are only $58.00.

For those interested in back issues, loose copies are 60 cents each, but we will send you a sampling of 15 copies, selected by us, for only $4.00 or 25 copies for $6.00.
