Forbidden Land: A Saga of Tibet by Jeoffrey T. Bull After having served Christ for some years, the author was impris­ oned by the communists. As a result of his experiences, he presented a tremendous testimony in an earlier pub l i cat i on, “When Iron Gates Yield.” This new biographical jour­ nal gives the story of missionary challenge and adventure while serv­ ing the Lord in the Tibetan border area during the time preceding the communist invasion. It is an inspir­ ing publication which should be read by every Christian for it clearly re­ veals the power of Christ. — 124 pages, cloth, Moody Press, Chicago; $2.95.

(Reviewed by Bolton David- heiser.)

The writings of Henry Morris re­ lating to the physical sciences and Scripture are very helpful to Chris­ tians seeking information in this area. Because the present work is a collection of 16 articles, there is some repetition, but this does not detract from the value of the book. Dr. Morris presents creation in six days and a universal flood. He points out that attempts to harmon­ ize Scripture with current concepts of historical geology are unsuccess­ ful. The Biblical account of creation must be accepted, if at all, in its literal sense. He believes that geo­ logical phenomena can be harmon­ ized with Scripture.
