BOOK NOTES

 

Elizabeth Achtemeier, a preacher who writes books about preaching, says that those who listen to preachers have two concerns, their work and their home life. She insists that preachers talk about these things more. In Preaching About Family Relationships she discusses human nature, marriage, sex, divorce, children, the elderly, and male and female roles. She says much in only 114 pages. $10.50 postpaid.

Two books by James S. Woodroof we worth your reading. The Aroma of Christ, in which he shows that believers are to be the aroma of Christ by being, having, knowing, and working. It tells us how to be more fruitful and joyous Christians. The Church In Transition is about us, the Churches of Christ, about how we must get with it and do some changing. He shows that we can’t face the future by making it an extension of the past. The books are $7.95 each, postpaid.
