who is pastoring a church located in a small town or rural area. A number of experiences are related which should prove helpful to younger men facing similar problems. Several shortcomings were noted. One was a problem of style. The au thor constantly used the “ editorial we” in expressing his opinion. Such statements as “we believe,” “ our ad vice,” “ our judgment” could have been omitted. A positive statement without a personal reference would have added forcefulness. Some inconsistencies were apparent. The author suggests rather severe dis cipline for those guilty of “unbelief and doctrinal error” (p. 166) yet asks, “ Should all choir members be Chris tians?” He answers, “ Preferably, yes” but he leaves the door open for “ possi ble exceptions” (p. 108). 168 pages; cloth; Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $2.95 — Re viewed by Dr. Glenn O’Neal, professor Talbot Theological Seminary.
