He is the founder of Sovereign Grace Publishers and Christian Literature World, Inc., a Christian publisher and book seller, that has published many of the Christian classics. An annotated topical bibliography of works containing biblical counsel for persons seeking lasting solutions to life's problems Compiled by Steven C. Kettler. This book contains 5700 works cross-referenced under 440 topical headings, and this reviewer has not checked them all out, nor if he had would he be able to evaluate the character of such a mass of works. Chapter 1 has a list of the basic books in this Bibliography, and makes interesting reading, although there is a significant weight in favour of some which surely must be of only limited interest. However, having said this, it is a fair conjec- ture that anyone seriously interested in Christian reading will find this book fascinating reading and essential to have.
Some books have a brief resume, other books of more signifi- cance are given useful reviews.
Such a book could have very wide influence. There is a section on Reference works and another on Christian Biography. There are contributions by Iaian Murray, Cyril Barber, Jay Green, J.I. Packer, John MacArthur, and may others. P.O. Box 621, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013, USA, P.O. Box 474, Riverwood, N.S.W. 2210, Australia. Reviewed by Pete Hurst.
