A Review  of Philip Yancey's book entitled "What's So Amazing About Grace?" by Andrew Dangerfield and Jonathan Burke 64 pages This publication contains reviews by two brethren of the very popular Evangelical book, What's so amazing about Grace?  One of Paul's most famous verses contain these words, "we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God" (Rom. 8:2). We all love the theme of the grace of God and thank Him Who "forgiveth all our iniquities". Yet even in this exalted and lovely theme there must be the balance of Scripture. The grace of God is not unconditional. The LORD God "merciful and gracious" will "by no means clear the guilty" (Exod. 34:6, 7). It was Luther who said that salvation was "by faith alone". He was wrong. The Bible says "...that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only" (James 2:24). Let us not be deceived by the specious theology of Yancey.
	Cornelia's Story 216 pages, with illustrations Cornelia's Story, an interesting and unique book, was released some months ago. This note should give CSSS agents and ecclesial librarians a better idea of the purpose of the book and its target readership. The concept originated seven years ago from a youth leader. It was perceived that Christadelphian youth of the 1990's thought that life was much harder for them now than it has ever been --because of all the "new" temptations--and that therefore the Scriptures were hardly relevant for modern youth. To set the record straight a series of articles was commissioned and originally appeared in The Caribbean Pioneer. It is obvious from the copious bibliographical support that the author is a specialist in the field of first century history.  Cornelia's Story is told to us by a "typical" young believer in the sixties AD. Life in the first century - for the true believer - was little different than it is today. The basic issues that should separate us from the world were there in the first century. There were night clubs, theme parks, "gardens of delight", easy virtue, partying, drinking, drugs, peer pressure, materialism, and more--all temptations which the faithful had to overcome. Of course there is much more to the book than these details and you really need to read the book to appreciate its benefit. The story closes with the riveting description of the Battle for Jerusalem and what it meant to be a conscientious objector to military service then! The target reader is primarily teenagers and those in their early twenties. But its historical detail makes it helpful for all adults who wish to gain a better background to the New Testament period. out of print

	Ezekiel 1-39  by John Allfree  472 pages, hard cover This exciting exposition is the first complete treatise in book form on this part of Ezekiel's prophecy for over 65 years. It is comprehensive and well-documented. The author's research has been meticulous, from the writings of earlier brethren, ancient historians, Assyrian inscriptions, and recent Russian historians. Contains quite a few illustrations. The hope expressed in this section of God’s word -- the destruction of oppressive and apostate nations, their replacement by the Kingdom of the Prince of Peace, together with the final restoration of Israel - is our hope. This thorough study is an excellent guide to this challenging part of scripture.  See Review.

	The Education of Job The depth of the drama portrayed in the life of Job impresses the reader and student with the importance that God places upon the book of Job. Is there anyone that has ever been so highly reputed of man and God, "perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil" and yet suffered such a total loss of fortune, the slaying of servants, destruction of his livestock and camels, the death of all his seven sons and three daughters? These facts alone emphasise that this quite unique book was intended by God to present powerful lessons to all of His servants as they meet the misfortunes and blessings that are inescapable experiences of mortal life. Here, in Job, there is wisdom for us all. The distinctive virtue of this lengthy treatise on the book of Job is that it covers all the chapters and provides sound and useful comment on all the verses of the speeches. We commend the work as a valuable commentary upon a key book in the Word of God.

	The Lamentationsof Jeremiah by George Booker and Troy Haltom   How doth the city sit solitary... Jerusalem hath greviously sinned; Therefore she is removed... The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion... her gates are sunk into the ground... The law is no more... Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water For the destruction of the  daughter of my people... Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven... Looking into the detail of Judah's tragedy helps us to appreciate the loss experienced by a faithless people caught unawares. We shall be in the same position and worse if we neglect so great salvation presently offered.

	Psalms 42-72 (Book 2) This is the second volume in a series of expositions on the Psalms. Each article seeks to reach out and encourage us all by capturing the emotion and power of this group of songs. The text of each psalm is set out in structured poetry so that the parallelism can easily be seen, which greatly assists our understanding. Following this the psalm is divided into its parts so that the reader can see their main themes and the basic flow of thought. We then attempted to define the historical background so that the exposition that follows is specific and relevant. Where Messianic connections are clear, these links have been detailed for us to gain a precious insight into the mind of Christ.  about our cover
	Psalms 73-106 (Books 3 and 4) A feature of this group is the eleven ascribed to Asaph. The sons of Korah featured in our Volume 2, but it is interesting that in this Volume 3 there are 3 more "of the sons of Korah", numbers 84, 85 & 87. A lesser percentage are from other writers and several are anonymous. This variety contains some of the much loved Psalms. For 3,000 years these spiritual songs have meant so much to those who have been privledged to know them. They cater for almost every occasion in mortal life: both tragic and happy, personal and national, present and in the glorious future Kingdom of God to be ruled from Jerusalem by the Lord Jesus Christ. May this variety of 488 pages from different expositors assist us greatly to love our Heavenly Father who inspired the writers of them all, and thereby prepare us, in His grace, to be granted a place in that glorious Kingdom soon to be a reality. Hallelu Yah the God of lovingkindness Who is from everlasting to everlasting (106:48).
