Number four: A novel of Luke, the Beloved
Physician, by Frank G. Slaughter entitled, THE
ROAD TO BYTHNIA. Luke was the doctor to
the early Christians, who challenged the mission
ary teachers of the fiery Apostle Paul . . . and
whose love for Paul’s beautiful disciple, Theda,
hastened his final conversion and his recording of
the life and sayings of Jesus. This great inspira
tional novel by the author of IN A DARK GAR
DEN has color — pageantry — truly a Christian
story.

tains that our life is in our own hands. Contrary

crohn points out that the death instinct lies deep
within us. Finding our unconscious urge for self-
destruction, he gives us antidotes for the major
and minor ills—alcoholism, obesity, heart disease,
high blood pressure, cancer, ulcers, worry, over
work, smoking, overexercise, sleeping pills, etc.
Dr. Steincrohn offers challenging, hopeful and
helpful suggestions for better and healthier liv
ing. The striking title is: HOW TO STOP KILL
ING YOURSELF.
