Older Than God

Triumph of God’s Love
White
1957

Submitter: We are a state university in Connecticut, and we found this little gem while pulling hold requests today. Someone actually placed a hold on it… Besides being incredibly outdated, this wonderful piece of literature (thankfully!) has some very humorous illustrations. According to the illustrations in this book, Jesus has an issue with space exploration, and we will all happily spend eternity in the Emerald City from the Wizard of Oz?

Holly: These illustrations absolutely SCREAM 1957! I’d weed it in a public library for sure. I can’t think of a compelling reason for a state university to keep it either, unless it is relevant for some reason. (Sorry the pictures are so small – they were submitted that way.)
