One cannot read this book on pov erty and merely turn away. I have read others, evaluated statistics and other data on poverty written by pro fessionals and la ym en , concerned men and women, but I have not read o f what a minister is involved in. This is the pulse o f the urban poor, documented by a concerned minister. More than this, it is a plea by a man o f other people’s day-to-day prob lems of trying to stay alive. It is shocking, practical, full o f what I re fer to as “ real people with real problems.” These are the American urban poor whom the Church has al lowed to disintegrate by m o v in g away from them rather than by stay ing to minister to them. The book is a challenge fo r all of us to “ put feet to our prayers” rath er than piously becoming oblivious to a growing problem. I believe that C h r i s t i a n s of all denominations should read this book and further evaluate their own belief system in terms of values, compassion, and re dedication to the Gospel call, to be witnesses in all places, including the urban poor.— 133 pages; paper; The Macmillan Co., New York; $1.95.

THE BONUS YEARS by Thomas Bradley Robb This work should prove to be help ful to the church which is interested in understanding the older person so that it can more adequately meet his psychological, physiological, and so cial needs. Little is said about the spiritual problems o f the elderly, but the compilation o f information should prove beneficial in the establishment o f the direction o f the local church in helping the older person to make his whole life as productive as possi ble.— 158 pages; cloth; Judson Press, Valley Forge; $4.50.
