GENERAL COMMENTS
This issue’s cover, GOD’S PSYCHOLOGY: HEALTH FOR BODY, MIND, AND SOUL, was a profound disappointment! The official psychological information provided was little more than sermonizing! Only a 350 word piece by Jill Carlson, THE STIGMA OF MENTAL ILLNESS AND ITS TREATMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF A CHRISTIAN BELIEF SYSTEM, (which wasn’t even cited on the Feature Page) provided helpful clinical information!
If you’re busy, this is the issue to skip. If World News interests you, it’s available online.

GENERAL COMMENTS
I had trouble concen-trating on this review when I read that ADRA GIVES $1 MILLION TO MARANATHA. According to Ted Wilson, “this move symbolizes cooperation between the world church and lay ministries”. In this Haiti project, Maranatha is in partnership with Missionary Ventures International, another Christian NGO. http://www.mvi.org/
ADRA's BOARD IS A GLOVE IN TED WILSON'S FUNDAMENTALIST HAND!
ADRA's credibility as a nonsectarian relief organization should now be called into question. It should now be assumed that direct contributions to ADRA will be directed to SDA lay ministries like Maranantha!

THE RELUCTANT SCHOOLTEACHER, by Stanley D. Hickerson is a MUST READ. Alma McKibbin didn't want to be a schoolteacher. But she was the first person to create a school curriculum for Adventist elementary students.
