Introduction
We make only a slight attempt to list general education materials other than a few standard resources
such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, and works that
are specifically of interest to a missionary school.
Other than that, we confine this listing pretty much
to resources specifically required for ministerial
training, such as biblical theological and pastoral
works.
Special arrangements with publishers that involves
ALSOs reputation for developing overseas libraries and also its bulk purchasing power enables
MBS to sell and ship books abroad at prices that
individual institutions can seldom match on their
own, even when dealing with wholesale outlets.
The pricing provided in this guide shows the retail price, followed by your ALSO discounted
price. These prices are subject to change without
notice and do not constitu
te an agreement to supply the book shown at that
listed price.
The following is an example of how this listing
works:
3 Allen, Leslie C. 1, 2 Chronicles. MOT, or CC in
hardback. Dallas, TX: Word, 1987. Very strong
but still readable. $15.00 $8.50
The 3 indicates its for a 3- or 4-year diploma or
degree granting Bible school.
The indicates that it is highly recommended for
such a 3 or 4year diploma or degree granting
Bible school.
$15.00 is the retail price, and $8.50 is what you
would pay to purchase this from MBS.
We also include some notes of more general guidance in various places, such as the following:
