Ware, preacher for the Southern Hills Church of Christ in Abilene, Texas, provides a daily devotional guide using the Gospel of Mark.

CHURCH HISTORY
Thomas H. Olbricht and David Fleer, eds. And the WORD Became Flesh: Studies in History, Communication and Scripture in Memory of Michael W. Casey. Eugene, Ore.: Pickwick Publications, 2009. 318 pages. $37.
Twenty scholars present essays on Restoration history, homiletics and pacifism in a volume that honors the late Pepperdine University scholar Michael Casey.

SPIRITUALITY
Ken Jones. A Prodigal Return. Mustang, Okla.: Tate Publishing & Enterprises, LLC, 2009. 448 pages. $29.99.
Jones, minister for the Melbourne, Fla., Church of Christ, seeks to help people build their faith. He weaves stories of his own struggle with alcohol — and later experiences as a counselor — with biblical insights about Christian fundamentals.
Most of the one- or two-page chapters begin with a Scripture citation, followed by a personal and often-humorous story and a spiritual or encouraging point.
SCIENCE AND RELIGION
Lynn Mitchell and Kirk Blackard. Reconciling the Bible and Science: A Primer on the Two Books of God. North Charleston, S.C.: BookSurge Publishing, 2009. 265 pages. $18.99.
A theologian and a lawyer present the origins and history of the science-versus-religion debate before offering an analysis of the current status of the issues and their own conclusions.
Mitchell is a minister for the Heights Church of Christ, and Blackard attends Bering Drive Church of Christ, both in Houston. The book includes extensive references and an index.
