ministered at this Conference. Even today smaller “ K e s w i c k s ” have sprung up in Canada and several parts of the United States to provide the kind of spiritual ministry which characterized this movement through the years. The story is brilliantly told by an accomplished writer of Britain, a contributing editor to Christianity Today, and author of a couple of Christian biographies. — 190 pages; cloth; Moody Press; $2.95. Religion Can Conquer Communism By O. K. Armstrong and M. Moore Armstrong To what extent has Communism been able to suppress religion behind the iron curtain? This question is not easy to answer, but the authors have done a good deal of research. Mr. Armstrong has traveled exten sively behind the iron curtain, in addition to having helped organize the “ C o n f e r e n c e on Liberation,” which brought together 500 refugee leaders from eastern Europe. Details of communist take-over in a number of instances are recorded with graphic language. Methods of torture of religious leaders are pic tured in heartrending terms. One learns much in this book both of the communist method and ideology. Ex cept for the apparent validity of the account, one is tempted to disbelief, but of course there are many books that describe the same kind of both thinking and action of the commu nist agents. The only hopeful aspect is the testimonials of faithfulness unto death, the seed of the martyrs bearing fruit in other lives. —•258 pages; cloth; Thomas Nelson and Sons, New York; $4.95.
