Reviews
"Ten years ago as a young woman planning marriage, I looked on every church bookshelf and in every Christian bookstore for this book, but it wasnt there. Now that it has been written, I urge pastors and Christian leaders to make sure Heirs Together is available to those who are searching." Christianity Today
"In a time when so many evangelicals seem trapped in chain-of-command thinking about marriage, Heirs together provides a biblical alternative. Gently--but persuasively--Patricia Gundry unfolds the biblical case for equality and mutuality in marriage. Down-to-earth, but always close to the Bible, this book deserves careful reading and discussion." James H. Olthuis
"Heirs Together is as well-written, thoroughly researched book on mutual submission in marriage. It is designed to be meaningful to any persons serious about using biblical principles to decide what their marriage should be like...The authors biblical and logical presentation, as well as her spirit, make this a book to be shared with others." Daughters of Sarah
Heirs Together goes beyond discussing the issues; it offers solutions for the marriage problems that we all face--dividing responsibilities, making decisions, setting goals, fighting constructively. I hope it helps you as much as it has me. RENOVARE Perspective

Reviews
"Woman Be Free is a challenge to women to know and to study Scripture for themselves and to do as God says. Read it. It makes sense." Cheryl Lee Olsen, Daughters of Sarah

Reviews
"Gundry ...writes in a very clear, concise way concerning how to implement Biblical equality...must reading for all Christians striving for equality among Gods people." Arnold Boulianne, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
"She is realistic and practical, yet she communicates a driving, determined sense of optimism that eventually-eventually-the wave of equality will hit the shore....This book is not an apologetic. Rather it takes as its premise that, of course, women are called to be leaders in the church and elsewhere. The book then becomes a concise combination of methodologies on how to elicit change..." EWC Update
"Reading this book is like curling up in the living room for a chat with a friend...I recommend this book to all Christian women who want to grow and change, especially those in churches presently resisting such change." Reta Finger, Daughters of Sarah
"...breaks new ground with its down-to-earth, conciliatory, and loving instruction on how women can make positive changes in themselves as well as in their marriages, friendships, and church relationships." Todays Christian Woman

The Violin: How To Make It
by "A Master of the Instrument"
Long out of print, now published by Suitcase Books.
ISBN 1-882169-06-9, hardcover, 143 pages, $38.
A quality hardcover reproduction of an early 20th Century violin making classic.This comprehensive work contains invaluable insight into the history, construction and techniques of violin making. It includes many useful diagrams, illustrations, measurements, and varnish recipes.
From the Publisher
This mysteriously authored classic has been a sought after book, long out of print. I wanted to make it available again, reproducing it in a sturdy, quality hardcover edition very close to the original in appearance. It is an essential addition to any personal or professional library that includes information about the violin or musical history.
About the Author
The original cover lists its creator only as "A Master of the Instrument." The preface states, "That this modest volume challenges no criticism, is plain, from the fact that the author is not in search of fame, but aims only to produce a work written in language so plain as to be readily understood by all lovers of the violin, high or low; a book free from ambiguities, and that kind of language which conceals ideas....The author's information has been derivied mainly from his own experience, corroborated by the communications and opinions of many others of such standing as to give high value to their authority. He feels, therefore, that he is justified in placing it, with modest confidence, before those who are in a condition to require it, without any hazard of leading them astray, and with an earnest desire that it may prove useful.
That this little work may enable the inexperienced mechanical amateur to understand the construction of the instrument in a general sense, and that it may also convey such practical information as will render the unskilled purchaser capable of judging intelligently and independently of the merits and demerits of instruments, is the author's fervent wish."
Book Excerpt
The Early History Of The Instrument
Bow-instruments exist form a very early date, some of which approximate closely in form to our modern Violin, whilst others are of the rudest description, but still possess one important distinction from other stringed instruments, viz., that of being played upon by a bow, as those truly possess a character and quality essentially their own. Among such instruments may be ranked the following, although a great many more might be enumerated: The Ravanstron of India and Ceylon; the Rouana of the same countries; the Urh-heen, or Fiddle of china; the Omerti and Kemangeh-a-gous of Arabia and Persia; the Rebab, also an Arabian instrument; the Goudok of Russia; the Soorunga and Tarau, or Thro, of the Burmese Empire; the Koba of Tartary; the single-stringed Violin, or Mono-chord, of Egypt; the Fidla, Langspel, and Sumphion of the Icelanders; the Gue of the Shetlanders; the Guhue of Africa; the Crouther, Crwth, or Crowd, of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales; the Linterculus; and lastly, the Viol species, which bear the nearest resemblance to the Violin proper.
