Dr. Grover B. Proctor, Jr. EDITOR & PUBLISHER
The goal of the Watch:Jerusalem Bookstore is to bring together an eclectic but focused group of books for the reader of Watch:Jerusalem newsletter. Inclusion in the listing does not imply endorsement of that book's message or author(s) by the editor of W:J, but rather an indication that this is a book likely to be a player in the "open market" of ideas. Suggestions for inclusion in the book store are very welcome. |
