BOOK NOTES

 

We are restocking some of the old favorites by William Barclay, a longtime favorite of many of our readers. And Jesus Said is Barclay’s study of the parables, $9.95 postpaid; The Lord Is My Shepherd is his study of selected psalms, $6.95 postpaid; The Promise of the Spirit deals with every passage in the NT on the Holy Spirit, $7.95 postpaid. A tiny but weighty book, his Spiritual Autobiography, is only $3.50 postpaid.

I suspect Carl Ketcherside’s Pilgrimage of Joy will be out of print in two years or less. About half of those printed are already sold. You would be wise to order your copy if you plan to own one, a collector’s item one day. $15.00 postpaid.

Our bound volume of this journal, under the title of The Hope of the Believer, is available at $15.00 postpaid. While they last, you can still get all seven of our bound volumes which cover all issues from 1977-1990, except for 1979-80, for $70.00 post-paid. These are handsome, matching volumes with dust jackets, introductions, and tables of content.

Everyone seems interested in the ministry of women in the church today, but everyone is not considering a crucial facet of the question, as does Evelyn and Frank Stagg in Woman in the World of Jesus. We will send you a copy for $12.95.

Wilbur Johnson’s Build My People is well titled in that it is about God’s power and God’s people. It makes for excellent inspirational reading, and it is inexpensive for a 230-page book. $6.00 postpaid.

Olan Hicks has taken on all those who choose to defend a legalistic position on divorce and remarriage, whether on the polemic platform or in writing. And it is all in his book on that subject, What The Bible Says About Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage, which we will send you for $14.95 postpaid.

Since my own book on the Stone-Campbell movement is no longer in print, I recommend a shorter book but no less informative’ Captives of the Word by Louis Cochran, which has the subtitle of “A Narrative History of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the Christian Church (Independent), and the Churches of Christ. “ $13.95 postpaid.

We still stock the perennial favorites by K. C. Moser, The Gist of Romans and The Way of Salvation. Moser was among the first among Churches of Christ to rediscover the grace of God for our people. $6.50 each pp.
