The full title of this book, Doctrine And The
DO In It, authored by Charles C. Pugh III, ties "doctrine"
and the application of it. This idea is illustrated by the book
of Romans in that the first eleven chapters stress "doctrine,"
and the rest of the book is practical. Brother Pugh's book integrates
both plans in a skillful way.
It is a true statement that "one should not
read without writing nor should one write without reading."
Charles C. Pugh III qualifies on both points. This is evident
in the large number of books he cites at the end of each of the
13 chapters. His writings indicate he is conversant with a large
number of relevant volumes.
His book has a clear Bible message. At the end
of the volume he lists 12 pages of Bible passages he cites. Brother
Pugh inserts pertinent illustrations that enhance the application
of the truth being presented.
Brother Pugh includes timely themes that will
strengthen the Christian and the church. They deal with topics
that currently confront the brotherhood. His book would be ideal
to use in a Bible class for a quarter. Preachers, including the
experienced, will find it helpful in using new approaches to presenting
the truth. Some of the challenging chapters relate to authority,
worship, the church, and preaching.
The book is not outline, but narrative. However,
each section is logically developed with some outlines.
This book, which was written by a talented preacher,
a skillful writer, and a clear expounder of the Scriptures, is
highly recommended. It may be ordered from Charles C. Pugh III,
