Id ea s fo r a Successfu l Church P rog ram By John Huss This John Huss is pastor of the Southside Baptist Church, Spartan­ burg, S.C., and a near-genius in the development of new and fresh ways of carrying on the work of the church. His “ Horn- of Power” on Wednesday evenings was used by many other pastors who followed his lead several years ago. Here he gives his readers plans for spring, summer, fall and winter, ranging from a men’s society visitation program to different ways of recognizing visitors. The discerning pastor will find many workable suggestions here. 149 pages; cloth; Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $2.00. God’ s P u rp o se in This A y e By John H. McComb This volume receives its title from the first of these eight sermons by the pastor of the Broadway Presby­ terian Church, Philadelphia, Pa. He sees God’s purpose as fourfold, His taking out from the Gentiles of “ a people for His name,” the demonstra­ tion of His power to protect and pro­ vide for His own in the present hos­ tile world, the demonstration of man’s inability to run the world without Him and the demonstration of the folly of opposing His will. All the sermons are scripturally based upon the hope of the Church in the imminent return of Christ to remove His own from the world. 93 pages; cloth; Fleming H. Revell Company, Westwood, N.J.; $1.25. m issiona ry H ealth manual By Paul E.

Nehem iah the E x ecu tive By Stanley Edwin Anderson

This challenging volume consists of brief expositions of selected texts from the book of Nehemiah. The au­ thor had in mind the modern church with its myriad problems and per­ plexities, and many pointed applica­ tions to the contemporary situation will be found. The reader will be in­ troduced to many parallels between Nehemiah’s day and his own, and the preaching values of this Old Testa­ ment portion will find a new appeal. 168 pages; cloth; Van Kampen Press, Wheaton, 111.; $2.50. An Outline o f H eb r ew H isto r y By J. Barton Payne This textbook on the history of the Hebrews is the work of the professor of Old Testament at Trinity College and Seminary, Chicago, 111. It affords excellent guidance through the Old Testament narrative, and, with its many references to archeological and historical literature, it will find a useful place as a college text. 257 pages; cloth; Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $3.50. Sunday m o rn in g , evening and Wednesday evening sermon and de­ votional outlines are provided here for dated occasions throughout 1955. Each is replete with suggested Scrip­ ture reading, selected hymns, call to worship, invocation, outline, com­ ment, offertory prayer, illustrative material, illustrations and poetry. Junior pulpit topics are dated through all but the summer months. Many special features will also be found, such as outlines for Lenten preaching, mission meetings and communion services. Many valuable suggestions are included in this book, but we wonder whether there are ministers who depend upon such volumes as this to plan their ministry for them. 370 pages; cloth; Harper & Brothers, New York; $2.75. The Pa lestin e P rob lem Today By Carl Herman Voss Subtitled Israel and Its Neighbors, this is a book of past and present complexities in the life of the mod­ ern nation of Israel. Much will be found in this book of immediate val­ ue to those who are watching closely the fortunes of this new nation. There The M in ister’ s manual Edited by Heicher and Hallock
