Description: Two factors commend this book to me. First, it offers in readable form the kind of material needed in my private life and work. Often a book with solid content is unmanage- able because it speaks only to the trained specialist in that field. It is important that laymen have good background material if their Bible study is to profit. In my work, there is also a constant need for a fast, accurate refer- ence volume as speeches or articles are called for. It is of benefit to know the trends of the people during a certain period of history if we are to make accurate application to today's problems. This book gives vital information in terms which readers can grasp and use. You will recognize that the author and publisher worked together in producing this commen- tary-type aid so that it appeals to teachers as well as to young people and their parents. It is The whole purpose of Baker's Pictorial In- troduction to the Bible is an acknowledgment that God sovereignly lives and acts today. It assumes the integrity and authority of the canon of sacred Scriptures. It is indeed un- likely that one could overstate the impor- tance of such a perspective. We still face today the pseudo-intellectual whose creed is aca- demic disbelief. Such a person will affirm that God does not exist, that the Bible is unreli- able, or that Jesus Christ immortalized Him- self in institutions, rather than allowing that Christ is alive today and ruling in the hearts of regenerate men as their Savior and Lord. The other factor that commends this book to me is that it comes out of the heart and work of a man in touch with life. He invests the time that is necessary to learn truth as it is in Jesus. The spiritual insight he has gained is employed in the great service of counseling troubled people. His is a ministry of counsel- ing youth, families, and fractured marriages in such a way that God's power is brought to bear on the dilemmas of men. Mark O. Hatfield U. S. SENATOR FROM OREGON
