BOOKS YOU WILL LIKE FROM LIBRARY BOOK SALE
We have new additions to our library found at the recent Elizabethtown Library book sale. These may be borrowed with no time limit to provide some good reading for long winter days and nights ahead.
If you had not read The Da Vinci Code by Dale Brown when it was a record best seller, this is your opportunity to read it along with two books of comment. One is The Truth Behind the Da Vinci Code by Richard Abanes and the other, The DaVinci Code Myth by D. James Kennedy. Open Windows is by Philip Yancey whose work was the basis of one of our recent adult Sunday School sessions. Living Faith by Jimmy Carter is his spiritual autobiography. Former president Carter has been lauded for his Carter Center and the humanitarian work which is being accomplished all over the world.
By Charles M. Sheldon, we have a classic from many years back, In His Steps with the subtitle What Would Jesus Do, a phrase which has become frequently quoted to help solve moral dilemmas. Another oldie is The Cross and the Switchblade , a story of street gangs and situations which unfortunately have not changed much over these recent years.
Actual bible helps are Where to Find It in the Bible containing hundreds of contemporary topics such as clothing, cosmetics, marriage, lifestyle, etc. The well illustrated World’s Religions by Huston Smith gives a brief overview of the beliefs of people of other countries and cultures with a pictorial presentation.
For teachers of children and youth, there is What Every Sunday School Teacher Should Know, 24 secrets that can help change lives, and When the Well Runs Dry Again with ideas for Preschool teachers. Super Sketches for Youth Ministry contains 30 creative topical dramas with instruction as to how they can be incorporated to impact young people. People of the Old Testament also contains dramas to bring Bible characters to life. For parents to borrow, the Jesus Loves Me Bible has drawings on every page that will delight young children while teaching Biblical truths and introducing Bible characters with very short stories.
If like many people, you find the Bible difficult to read and understand, you may appreciate The Story of Stories. Written by Karen C. Hinckley, it presents the Bible from beginning to end in narrative form while listing where the text may be found along with maps and charts and an index of persons and places.
It is hoped that these selections will be fully used by our church members. Library books can be borrowed on the honor system, keeping in mind that items should be returned within a reasonable length of time in case others wish to use them. Happy reading and successful applications!!!
