About This Item
This is the original 1950 first edition with the square Good News trademark on the spine. States Printed in U.S.A. Inscribed on the FFEP, "Moss Cordially Yours, A. J. Harms". The original owner and address is written opposite on the backside of the cover. There was a name in pencil that had previously been erased on the top of the FFEP. The spine is sun faded and the edges are dented. Front corners are rubbed. Gilt lettering on cover still intact. Some stains on navy hardcover boards. A.J. Harms was a radio minister out of Detroit with a broadcast "Echoes of Heaven". This book saves some of those sermons for posterity. After his this three year ministry he became the pastor of Woodlawn Baptist Church in Chicago. This is a rare signed first edition.
