Preaching on Bible Characters By Faris Daniel Whitesell Every aspect of preaching on Bible characters is carefully treated in this book. One of the best chapters is the one on great preachers who have majored in such preaching, including Moody, Talmage, Whyte and F.B. Meyer.

An exhaustive list of names for Bible character sermons and a complete bibliography are in cluded. 150 pages; cloth; Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $2.50. Mg. Spiritual Biarg By Dale Evans Rogers This book has become a best-seller because of the popularity of its TV- star author and interest in her spirit ual experience. It reveals the search of Mrs. Rogers for a walk with Christ, and few would question her sincerity. This reviewer- is disturbed by several elements prominent in the book. First, the author definitely claims divine inspiration. Second, almost every page of the book is a defense of the theatrical and movie world as an appropriate field for the participation of the believer. 144 pages; cloth; Fleming H.
