Religion In Books
By Roy L. TaWes

YOUR HOME CAN BE CHRIST
IAN by Donald M. Maynard. Abing-
fdon-COkesbury Press, Nashville.
81. Good reading for a home in
which there are growing children.
The book seems practical in deal
ing with the common problems.
The chapter headings are interest
ing, and the chapters are we'll out
lined. AS suggested by the books
title the author stresses the i'm
/ portance of religion, and deyotes
one chapter to an appreciation of
the church. The book avoids harsh
ness in discussing discipline, and
is guarded in it's comments on sex.
The author has not written without
much preparation, and his work
should have wide distribution. "If
our children never hear us men
tiOn God in connection with the
happy or the distressing expert
ences we face, if they do not sense
the fact that our faith in Him gives
us strength and patience and hope.
it will not be surprising if they
think OF religion as primarily
Sunday affair. If our own religion
is secondhand the third hand
religion our children are likely to
get will probably be skinny and
| inadequate"
GOOD TIMES FOR GODS PEO-
PIE by Marion Jacobsen, compiler.
ZOndervan Publishing House, Grand
Rapids, Michigan. 1895. An ency-
clOpedia of indoor and outdoor
games for churches providing
wholesome recreation for ytluth.
The book would have been better
edited with the omission of much
running comment. The book, how
ever, is a usable collection of ma
terial suited to most church Occa-
siOns. The old familiar games are
here, and there are new ones pack
ed with fun. The book deserves a
place on the library shelf, and will
for long time answer the ques-
ton: What can we do neXt?"
