Christianity Versus the Cults By J. K. Van Baalen This is a companion volume to the author’s larger work, The Chaos of Cults which first came off the press about 19 years ago. Written in very readable language and in an attrac tive style, this new book w ill meet the varied needs of the layman, the housewife confronted with the cult- ist at her front door, the pastor or the study group. It is especially adapted for the busy person who wants a con cise yet authoritative examination of the teachings of 11 of the major mod em cults in the light of the Word of God. The last three chapters are very valuable summaries of Christianity in its contest with anti-Christian cults. 136 pages; cloth; Eerdmans Publ. Co., Grand Rapids; $2.00.—Reviewed by Kenneth B.

%fy of Bible Institutes &Bible Colleges. W rite for Catalog Willard M. Aldrich, Th.D.,President MultiUMnali
Here is a strong attack on an arti ficial and anemic Christian faith, winch provides pointers to a strong Cixristian testimony and walk. The “way” is defined and then the sins of the church in general are exposed. It is a courageous facing of facts in many situations. Even “filled churches can mean empty people.” Our jails are also increasingly overflowing. The author is pastor of the largest church in the southeast, First Baptist of Atlanta. 217 pages; cloth; Fleming H. Revell Co., Westwood, N.J.; $3.00. Anyone who has not read Isobel K u h n h a s m i s s e d s o m e t h i n g of unusual character in missionary writ ing. She and her husband were for years pioneer missionaries in the hill country of Southwest China and de veloped a very good work among the most primitive Lisu people, remain ing there until forced to leave by the Communists. She has written a num ber of books noted for their descrip tive and literary beauty and intimacy of detail. This book is different in that it is designed to bring out the disci plinary and spectacular nature of the missionary’s difficulties and while it is a narrative in chronological form it is also a study in the Christian-life development. Miracles are frequent in the story and it w ill contribute to the increase of faith and knowledge of those who read it. 222 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago; $3:00.
