I have received and read Bob Morey’s new Bible Handbook on Slander and Gossip with pleasure. To my knowledge there is no other book like it available. Counselors, who regularly deal with the problem addressed, will find it helpful as a study of the subject. They will also want to hand it out in selected cases to counselees. Thanks, Bob, for the work you did in preparing this. I strongly recommend it.
