Comments: SEVEN-FOLD LIGHT. John F. McAllister has produced a book that looks at seven "foundational truths" for readers interested in maturity in their Christian life. Contents include: First things first!; Fifty Reasons for Speaking in Tongues; The First and the Last: First Principles - Foundational Truths; As He Is - So Are We; Paul's Apostleship - A Pattern; Present Truth. An ordained minister, McAlister has a Masters in Divinity from Western Seminary in Portland, OR. He currently lives in Yukon, Ok.


This book is a good addition to collections looking at contemporary religious movements, Pentecostal-Charismatic studies, Christian life, and the Apostolic Restoration Movement and its collateral groups. For readers coming from the Pentecostal-Charismatic movement this book will be a delight as it explores with great new insight the truths from the pages of the Bible. A book for personal or group study with lots of material for contemplation and thoughtful reflection. John McAllister is a prophet whose teaching will be worthy of the reading. (A.B.)

Comments: Oklahoma author Kenneth Shelby Armstrong presents a story of lyrical beauty, deeply felt emotion, thought provoking actions, and lasting inspiration. It often soars to lofty heights as it presents a love story and a story of sacrifice. With an increasingly deft hand the author pulls the reader into a story filled with all too human figures as they struggle through war, life, and all that they find in between. Highly recommend this book for all library collections and for readers who enjoy romance fiction and inspiring stories.
"Robin" is tale that begins in WW2. "On the shores of Lake Biwa near Kyoto, Japan a distinguished bishop laid his head in the lap of a lovely Japanese woman and died. His death opened a secret that he had held since he was a young soldier exploring the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In some ways the secret was more destructive and dangerous than the atomic bombs that he knew so well."
