Book notes

by Adolf Ens

Salt & Sign: Mennonite Central Committee in Palestine, 1949 B 1999 (150 pages) by Alain Epp Weaver and Sonia K. Weaver is an account of fifty years of Christian service, peace and education work on the West Bank. Maps, photos and a good index enhance this account.

Jean Janzen, Tasting the Dust (Intercourse, PA: Good Books, 2000); 69 pp. pb. $9.95 (US). This is another volume of poetry by the Saskatchewan-born poet and hymn writer who teaches poetry writing at Fresno Pacific and Eastern Mennonite universities.

Perry Bush, Dancing With the Kobzar: Bluffton College and Mennonite Higher Education, 1899-1999 (Telford,PA: Pandora Press U.S., 2000); 320 pp. pb. This centennial history of one attempt at combining liberal arts education with Anabaptist theology and retaining a Mennonite church connection may be of interest to the church bodies which recently founded Canadian MennoniteUniversity.

Irvin J. Kroeker, compiler and editor, The Papers of Howard W. Winkler (Winnipeg: Open Door Communications, 1999); 173 pp. pb. $10. Winkler was Member of Parliament for the constituency of Lisgar 1935-1953. Since his area included large numbers of Mennonite communities in southern Manitoba, Winkler’s memoirs and correspondence are of considerable interest to Manitoba readers of the Historian.
