Signed by Frank Laubach (subject of book) on FFEP/good: rubbing, toning, edge and corner wear, NOT clipped ($3.50). 8vo  227pp. from front flap: "Everybody who learns must teach somebody else. If he doesn't I'll kill him!" Smiling at the man's violent goodwill, Laubach was suddenly electrified by his idea. He saw that nothing could be better for a newly literate person than to try sharing his skill with a neighbor. It could fix in the new reader's mind all that he had learned' would give him a feeling of importance and self-respect, and, best of all, would train him in the spirit of sharing. If every learner actually became a teacher, literacy could spread like a prairie fire." #00987.

But it was written in a world far different and far removed from our own, and even in its modern translations there is much it does not tell us about that world. From the pages of the Bible itself we learn relatively little, for example, about everyday life during the time of Moses, or about geography, climate, weights and measures, or money. And we learn even less about the culture and the character of those early civilizations that surrounded the nation of Israel, and that played so prominent a role in the scriptural account. The Eerdman's Handbook to the Bible has been designed to meet that need." #01857.
