ley by Stanley Sowton. Phyllis Mat- thewman has told the comparatively unknown story of William C. Burns, pioneer missionary to China. D. I. Babcock in Adoniram Judson recov­ ers the strange experience of the man who started for India a Congrega- tionalist and became a Baptist upon arrival. The thrilling story of Mary Slessor, the Scottish factory girl who went to Africa is told by A. R. Evans. The account of David Livingstone and his missionary explorations in Africa is anonymously written. The books are attractively written, and the set should be in every church and Sunday school library. The young Christian who has read these books will have received an education in Christian biography. 92 and 95 pages; cloth; Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $1.00 each. Are the New Testament Oocuments Reliable ? By F. F. Bruce The Head of the Department of Biblical History and Literature in the University of Sheffield, Eng., first published this volume under the aus­ pices of the Inter-Varsity Fellowship in England some dozen years ago. Since bringing out this, his first vol­ ume, he has made many weighty contributions to evangelical scholar­ ship. Here is an excellent introduc­ tion to a study of the New Testament writings, their canonization and arch­ aeological support. The work is well- documented and will prove most help­ ful to college-age young people. 122 pages; cloth; Wm. B. Eerdmans Co., Grand Rapids, Mich.; $2.00. The Pastor’ s Hospital Ministry By Richard K. Young The author is a graduate of Wake Forest College and holds his seminary and doctor’s degrees from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. As Di­ rector of Pastoral Care at North Caro­ lina Baptist Hospital he is in a posi­ tion to orient pastors in their ministry to the hospitalized. The book is well documented and reveals a wide knowledge of contemporary literature on counseling. Pastors generally will profit from the study of this work but will find that it fails to touch the heart of the need of the seriously ill—spiritual and scriptural help. 139 pages; cloth; Broadman Press, Nash­ ville, Tenn., $2.50. THE KING'S BUSINESS

The Story of Jesus By Edmund Filmer

Children will love this story book on the life of Christ. The language is a bit informal—Jesus says: “Why all this fuss!” “ Don’t worry!” Not of least value in the book are the 32 beautiful colored pictures and four maps by A. W. Lacey and S. W. Din- nison. 135 pages; cloth and boards; Van Kampen Press, Wheaton, 111.; $2.95. The Cross in the New Testament By Walter Thomas Conner Valuable chapters will be found here on the Cross in the Synoptic Gospels, in the Johannine writings, the Jewish-Christian writings and Paul’s writings. The theories of the atonement are ably discussed, and the book concludes with a summary, “ The Inevitable Cross.” The author, who was professor of Theology for 35 years at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas, is conservative theologically. 181 pages; cloth; Broadman Press, Nashville, Tenn.; $2.50. God Portrays Women By Grace McAllister Nineteen Old Testament women come in for keen analysis and por­ trayal by an experienced women’s Bible teacher in this volume. Many books of sermons on the women of the Bible have been published, but few reflect the insight of this author. Here is a book to read and re-read. 190 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chi­ cago, 111.; $2.50. H eroes of the Cross This series of eight books was brought out originally by Oliphants, Ltd., London, and portrays for chil­ dren and young people great preach­ ers and missionary leaders. David. Brainerd by Winifred M. Pearce tells the story of the pioneer missionary to the American Indians in colonial America. James Chalmers by P. M. Stevenson records the adventures of the Scottish missionary to New Gui­ nea and the South Seas. The same author in William Carey recounts the biography of the English shoe­ maker who became a missionary statesman to India. The greatest of English revivalists and his work is treated in John Wes­
