Angels: God's Secret Agents by Billy
Graham is an extraordinary and reassur-
ing book that shows angels are real and
that they are in fact here to help us in
our earthly struggles. Billy Graham
cites specific biblical passages and
specific examples that show the reader
how angels can and do help us daily and
in a very personal way. He also shows
us that just as there are evil supernat-
ural beings, there are also good and
helpful supernatural beings called
ANGELS. According to the New York Times
Book Review for Feb. 8, Angels is number
five and has been on the list for 11
weeks. Do you enjoy books on the super-*-
natural? If so, then this is a must on
your reading list. This book is a new
one in the McNaughton Book section.
Better Pictures With Your Kodak
Instamatic Camera and How to Take Better
Polaroid Pictures are both by Weston
Kemp. These two books deal with much
general information and then also deal
with specific problems in using differ-
ent photographic equipment. They even
deal with the problem of prints and
slides that have people showing red eyes
in the picture. The book on the Kodak
Instamatic even describes and compares
the different models. Through reading
these two books, a person is able to
take much better pictures. These two
books are on ti new book shelf and both
have the same ... .1 number. (771.3, Kem)
