These My People — Serving Christ Among the Mountain People of Formosa by Lillian Dickson Accounts of missionary work among primitive peoples are among the most interesting and inspirational types of reading. In addition to their value as a chronical of missionary work they build faith and promote dedication to Christian service. Lillian Dickson is, as Bob Pierce called her, “ an institution.” Many aspects of the work came under her direction and she exhibits a many-sided ability and concern for a needy people. There are stories in this book that parallel many of the miraculous events of the Bible, including a Stephen who was b e a t e n to d e a t h , so the officials thought, but who saw Christ and came back to life to testify with a brilliant light in his eyes. One can hardly lay the book down. 121 pages; cloth; Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids; $2.00. There are a number of approaches open to the author of a textbook in C h r i s t i a n education. This author limits his efforts to the field of church work in the evangelical tradition. The book is designed to be used as a guide for Christian education workers and as an introduction to courses in Chris tian education at the college level. Sixteen chapters discuss the major features; viz. the historical back ground, the philosophy of Christian education, the various age groups, the programs of the church, the church- sponsored general education, and the recruiting and training of Christian workers. While the publishers failed to provide us with any information on the author, it is evident that he has been teaching this subject for some time. The book is provided with review questions and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter.

Bavinck The beginning of this book contains extremely readable reflections on questions of our existence, the world order and the salvation provided by our Creator. Summary chapters are devoted to the subject of the uniqueness of Chris tianity which lies in' the fact that it comprehends man’s threefold misery: a lack of knowledge, a lack of peace, uprightness and a harmonious rela tionship toward God and finally his lack of holiness, the will to do good. An excellent gift for souls uncer tain of the faith “ once for all deliv ered to the saints.” 128 pages; cloth; Wm. B. Eerdmans Pub. Co., Grand Rapids; $2.00.
