This review is from: A Handbook for Today's Disciples: In the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) (Paperback)

This is an update of the 1980s book which I needed to replace. I had borrowed this book (first printing or so) and the paperback got salad dressing on it. Oh those church potlucks get a little feisty!!! The order came quickly as stated and in good condition ... no mixups in the order, either. It was the first time I have ordered via Amazon.com ... liked the format, ordering form, quick service, and of course, the good price.
