Light For Today On Personal

By Reginald Kirby
Judson Press, Philadelphia. s1.50.
AS the title suggests here is a book
written for contemporary human
need. The writer, an Australian min
lister, faces life unafraid. His faith
is Illuminating. He has an under
standing Of the modern scene. His
message makes timely presentation
of Christ as Master. and gives a
necessary emphasis to Christian
personality The chapter titles are
arresting; among them "Forgiving
and Forgetting" "The Breaking
Point" "The Vital Thing" The pages
are filled with quotable sentences.
Building a personality is a life
work" Every day life can be
transformed and beautiful by words"
There is a bigger world in our soul
than outside" This book strongly
witnesses against the claim that re-
ligious literature is dull reading.
You will want to read it through
at single sitting. 1t is to be hoped
that more books will be forthcoming
from this author There is great
need for his message.
