Planning a Christian Day Camp By Valerie Seger This is a handy guide-book for the entire day-camp program. The book is very terse but it covers adequately all phases of day camping. The ap proach is rather chronological and gives the local church direction in establishing a program from begin ning to end. A compendium of practical sugges tions. the book includes addresses for material, insurance, programs, and other helpful resources. In addition to these necessary items, suggestions are given for training the staff, child evangelism and control of discipline problems. The coverage of these areas is a bit brief, but beneficial. The book is intended to be only a guide book and is, consequently, con densed. It would serve as an adequate beginning for setting up such a pro gram in a local church. The subject metter is quite timely as the day camping approach to summer and va cation Bible school is a rapidly-grow ing trend in Christian Education. 96 pages; paper; Moody Press, Chicago; $1.60 — Reviewed by Bill Van Byn um.

Drawing from her vast experience and desire for dramatic expression, Mrs. Miller presents a fine selection of worship presentations for youth and adults for Sunday school or oth er worship opportunities. These dramatized worship services are of various lengths, using as few as two to as many as fifteen partici pants, are easily prepared and pre sented. Such presentations are de signed by Mrs. Miller to have a three-fold effect upon the worship service. They provide an opportunity for several to participate, express themselves and render a service. Dra ma presentations in worship also for tify and make more vivid the truths presented. Finally, she seeks to show how this can be used to develop and discover unused talent in others. Suggestions are given for produc tion, such as lighting and setting. Simple costuming is suggested, mak ing the book very practical for the smaller local church, yet flexible for those churches with a wider variety of facilities and equipment. The ma terials of the presentations are up lifting and obviously enhance the worship experience, xxx, 120 pages; paper; Broadman Press, Nashville; $2.50 — Reviewed by Bill Van Byn um.

CORRECTION: In a recent review of his book Jewish Holy Days: Their Prophetic and Christian Significance the author, Coulson Shepherd, was identified as a Hebrew-Christian. We discover that this is an error; he is a Gentile Christian, who has been en gaged in testimony to the Jews for the past forty years. We are sorry for the error!
