My Heart’s Desire for Israel. By Richard R. DeRidder. Nutley, NJ: Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Co., 1974. 126 pp. Paper, $1.95.
Written from the standpoint of Conservative Reformed theology, this volume attempts to relate evangelism and the Jew. The author, while faithful to the necessity of preaching the gospel to the Jew, points out also many of the problems. Although written from the amillennial perspective, all evangelicals will identify with the author’s concern for Israel.

God Listens to the Crying Heart in the Secret Place. By Samuel Chadwick. Westchester, IL: Good News Publishers, 1973. 96 pp. Paper, $.95.
“To pray as God would have us pray is the greatest achievement on earth.” This is one of the many nuggets given in this little volume on prayer. Even a casual reading will reveal that the author writes out of much personal experience in the presence of God. The book is refreshing and convicting.
