The Evil of Evils or The Exceeding Sinfulness of Sin by Jeremiah Burroughs Soli Deo Gloria 213 W. Vincent St. Ligonier, Pa. 15658 1992 345pp. $22.95.
In God's good providence, this book is back in print after almost 350 years. (It was first published in 1654). We are living in a day when we are seeing an increasing hatred for Biblical Christianity in our culture and sadly within many churches. Christians have been and, I believe, will increasingly, be put in a position where their faithful, loving stand for the truth will lead to verbal abuse, hindrances to promotions, job loss, and perhaps even jail terms. Thus Christians are often faced with compromise and giving in to temptation rather than holding fast to the claims of the Gospel and its implications for all of life.

If you have a computer and you use money in any way, I highly recom- mend this program. If you do not have a computer, I know you use money (even though I cannot figure out why you would read a computer software review!). Use some of that money to get a computer -- and then get this fine Parsons product. You will find it ex- tremely helpful. sale. It also provides for the produc- tion of a number of important letters: confimlation of employment, letters of acceptance, and credit and collec- tion letters. Those of you who have an earlier version of It's Legal will recognize all of these possibilities. New to version 2.0 are forms for health care power of attorney and several consumer letters, Alsonewto this version is an on-screen glossary written for those without le- gal training. The glossary is accessed by a hot-key (Alt+Pl) for easy and quick access. The guidelines are simple to follow and the forms easy to use. Menus may be accessed by arrow, mouse, or typ- ing the highlighted letter for each se- lection. For the more technical needs, It's Legal provides enormous assis- tance. Por the more mundane pur- poses (e.g., consumer letters), this pro- gram saves much time and efron. An imponant and helpful feature is the automatic back-up upon exiting the program. Pile safety is vital! Of course, throughout the manual there are encouragements to seek a skilled lawyer on technical questions, but the program's design provides forms that are legal in all states (as of the date of production).
