| BOOK NOTES |
Now that this paper is soon to be history our back issues will be more in demand. We have about 70 different issues (loose copies) dating back for 25 years, but no year is complete. These are 40 cents each for as many as you wish, postpaid, or we'll send you a sampler of 15 copies, selected at random, for $5.00 postpaid. Our six bound volumes make for a handsome matching set, with dust jacket, introduction, and table of contents. These cover eleven years, 1978-1990, except 1979-80. The price of$65.00 is actually less than the sub price for all those years. If you would like to get the bound volumes one at a time, you might start with The Hope of the Believer (1989-90), $15.00 postpaid.
When a man suffers rejection by his own party for writing a book, the chances are it is worth reading. The Divorced and Remarried Who Would Come to God by Homer Hailey is such a book. He contends that God allows the divorced to start over with the past forgiven. $5.50 postpaid.
The Church In Transition by Jim Woodruff is a call for change in the Churches of Christ. It is a hard-hitting attack on traditions that have kept us isolated from others and divided among ourselves. He offers solutions. We will send you a copy for $7.95
Another volume that calls for change is Walt Yancey's Endangered Heritage: An Examination of Church of Christ Doctrine. He shows from our pioneers that the Church of Christ got derailed along the way on such things as thinking of themselves as the only Christians, instrumental music, exclusivism, not being a denomination. Highly resourceful and readable. $9.95 postpaid.
We are pleased that Our Heritage In Unity and Fellowship, a collection of writings by Carl Ketcherside and Leroy Garrett, is such a handsome volume and well-edited by Cecil Hook. There are numerous articles on Restoration history. $9.95 postpaid.
Captives' of the Word by Louis and Bess Cochran is "A Narrative History of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the Christian Churches (Independent), and the Churches of Christ." It is a factual and exciting account of our history. $13.50 postpaid.
Faith Martin's Call Me Blessed continues to be a favorite among those who are looking for a reasonable and resourceful treatment of the role of women in the ministry of the church. Her approach reflects a love for Christ and the Bible. $9.95 postpaid.
Now that this journal will soon be no more, I am asked to suggest other papers among us with similar goals. I suggest three this time around: Ensign, 2710 Day Rd., Huntsville, AI. 35801 ($5 per annum); The Christian Appeal, 2310 Anna St., Amarillo, Tx. 79106 ($6 per annum); Integrity, 4051 S. Lincoln Rd., Mt. Pleasant, Mi. 48858 (No charge, donations accepted). You might also request at no charge to be added to the mailing list of California Letter, Box 811, Corcoran, Ca. 93212 and The Persuader, 2920 Prairie Creek, Dallas, Tx. 75227. These last two are unique in that they circulate primarily among right wing segments, the first among the one-cup, non-Sunday school; the second among the conservative, anti-cooperative. Each is a burr under the saddle in his particular group. Each is a beautiful example of how one need not leave where he is, but work for peace and unity and look to God for the increase. One might be in a sect without himself being a sectarian, which, probably, is where most of us arc.
If you were a conscientious objector during World War II, the Korean War, or the Vietnam War, or part of a family of anyone who was, Prof. Michael Casey, Pepperdine University, Malibu, Ca. 90263 invites you to contact him. You can be of help to him in a research project he is doing on pacifism in the Churches of Christ.
