are brought to the feet of their Mes siah, Jesus. Christian testimony in the midst of opposition and difficulty shines through the story. It will be of help to those who seek to live for Christ under similar circumstances. 190 pages; cloth; Zondervan Publish ing House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $2.50. Tagati By Alan Livingstone Wilson Tagati is the Zulu word for witch craft, and this missionary novel deals with the current problem of African life as the indigenous black man arouses himself to search for his own destiny. The author has spent many years as a missionary in Zululand and contiguous areas, and his por trayal of the struggle between the Gospel of Christ and Tagati is a vivid one indeed. Geoffrey Matthews, a young missionary, returns to the Zu luland scenes of his boyhood to find himself in the midst of the conflicts of modern Africa. His solution is to present Christ as the answer— the final answer -4- to the problems of man. A glossary of Zulu words and phrases is most helpful to the reader. 238 pages; cloth; Van Kampen Press, Wheaton, 111.; $2.50.
This is a novel of the stresses and strains of married life complicated by mother-in-law problems. The plan of salvation is fully unfolded in these pages, and the main characters find repose in the Lord Jesus. Some of the episodes seem a bit strained. Those who may be experiencing man- and-wife tensions will find in this story the real solution for their dif ficulties^—a union in Christ which produces a true family union. 251 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago, 111.; $3.00. A Man Under Authority By Raymond H. Belton David Messenger is the pastor of a church in which the congregation is quite divided as to its interests. Evangelical to the core, loving the return of the Lord, he finds his preaching is blessing some and es tranging others. Through the con flict he is drawn closer to Christ. The romance angle of the story has a different conclusion from that us ually found in Christian novels. The Christian content is excellent. Here is a different sort of book. 256 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago, 111.; $2.75.
