BOOK NOTES

 

We are pleased with the interest shown in our bound volumes. We still have available seven bound volumes, including the years 1977-89, except 1979-80 (12 years in all) for only $70.00 postpaid. The last bound volume entitled The Hope of the Believer for 1989-90 is $15.00 postpaid. These are hand-some matching volumes with dust jackets.

Our supply of loose back copies is also diminishing, perhaps because we will soon be out of business. While they last they are only 40 cents each plus postage, or if we select them at random we will send you 18 back copies for only $6.00 postpaid.

If you want to read an interesting book that argues persuasively that all believers receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit when they are baptized into Christ, we recommend Christian, You Were Baptized in Water and Spirit by R. L. Gibson. He quotes from many sources, in and out of the Restoration Movement, including this journal, to support his position. $7.00 postpaid.

Carl Ketcherside’s Pilgrimage of Joy, which is his autobiography, is being enthusiastically received. If it was a joy for Carl to write it, it is also a joy to read it. $15.00 postpaid.

Call Me Blessed by Faith Martin is a study on the place of women in the church that has gone far in causing men and women alike to take a more critical look at the traditional role imposed on women. Her approach is disarming and is permeated with her love for Christ and the Bible. $9.95 postpaid.

The Fool of God by Louie Cochran, which we have often advertised, is now out-of-print, but Raccoon John Smith by the same author is still available. It is the delightful story of the famed Kentucky back-woods preacher, a book we highly recommend if one wants to catch the spirit of the Restoration Movement. $11.95 postpaid.

We again call your attention to Homer Hailey’s The Divorced and Remarried Who Would Come to God. The book is controversial in that the author is of the non-institutional Church of Christ persuasion and is being vigorously denounced for the position he takes. It offers hope to the divorced and remarried. $5.50 postpaid.

Edward Fudge’s The Fire That Consumes questions the traditional view that hell fire is unending. It is a book that deserves and is receiving a wide reading. $23.50 postpaid.

Deacons: Male and Female? by Stephen Sandifer with the subtitle “A Study for Churches of Christ” presents a challenging thesis that may help in time to effect change among our people. $12.50 postpaid.

William Barclay’s Spiritual Autobiography is full of warmth and wit, and it will be appreciated by all those who have benefitted from Barclay’s writings. $2.95 postpaid.
