total comprehensiveness of the divine laws. Maintaining t h a t th e first commandment is foundational — the spring out of which flow the remaining nine — the writer pro ceeds to demonstrate that Jeho vah is the Lord of the Word, of prayer, of time, of family, of life, of marriage, of all possessions, of truth, and of community. If the first commandment is kept, “I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” the ful fillment of all the others will fol low of its own accord. All of the real decisions of life are within the sphere of the first command ment. Surely during these days of world-wide political, religious, so cial, educational, and economic upheaval, all Christians should agree that such an emphasis is theologically true and urgently necessary. An unreserved accept ance of the absolute sovereignty of the God of the Bible revealed through Jesus Christ the Lord is the crucial need of man in this dark hour of history. While the writer does not emphasize the dis- pensational significance of the Ten Commandments, we believe the interpretation of the Com mandments is sound; therefore, we commend the reading, the studying, and the application of the teachings of this book to all. — 245 pages; cloth; Fortress Press, Philadelphia, Pa., $5.75.— Reviewed by Dr. Nickolas Kurta- neck.

Will you love one of us?
Only the child who is loved in this world is fortunate. Only a grownup who is loved in this world is fortunate. For love makes each of us feel wanted.
