Amazon has a few copies for 21.99 which isn't a bad price since it's out of print. I have a hardback from the 1960's which has a neon pink and yellow cover. It's very 60's.
I also saw some other bookstores offering on my Google search but I usually use amazon for it's customer service.
If you google him, skip the dingbat roller dancing on myspace ;D
Oh, on this site you can download several other Jukes books for free AND you can download something called L. Ray Smith's Lake of Fire.

What exactly does no single scripture is of it's own interpretation. I think I know what that means but I am probably Now that I think about it, this seems pretty important so I would love to hear from y'all on this matter.

Hi Darren,
What is meant by 'no single scripture is of it's own interpretation,' is that no Scripture stands alone as a proof of a teaching. You must have a 'second witness' in the Scripture to prove a truth.
This is from the article 'Twelve Truths to Understanding His Word.'
http://bible-truths.com/twelve.htm
TRUTH NUMBER 6
[A] "…that in the mouth of TWO OR THREE WITNESSES every word may be established" (Matt. 18:16).
(B) "…In the mouth of TWO OR THREE WITNESSES shall every word be established" (II Cor. 13:1).
[C] "And I will give power unto my TWO WITNESSES…" (Rev. 11:3).
This particular law of Scripture is constantly violated. We are to have at least a second witness to establish a Scriptural truth or doctrine.

Jesus tells us in parable of two great witnesses:
"Then said He unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which brings forth out of his treasure, NEW AND OLD" (Matt. 13:52).
What "new and old" treasures do "scribes" preserve for us regarding the "kingdom of heaven?" Why the NEW Covenant Scriptures and the OLD Covenant Scriptures, of course. And both the Old (Deut. 17:6 & 19:15), and the New (II Cor. 13:1 & Matt. 18:16) command that we must have two witnesses to establish every Word of God.
TRUTH NUMBER 7
[A] "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches; COMPARING [or ‘matching’] SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL" (I Cor. 2:13).
(B) "And to this AGREE the words of the prophets; as it is written…" (Acts 15:15).
[C] "These [Bereans]… searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were SO [Gk: ‘in this way,’ ‘like’] (Acts 17:11).
[D] "AS You have sent Me into the world, EVEN SO have I sent them into the world" (John 17:18, and many, many other such comparisons).
The purpose for comparing spiritual with spiritual is to find a spiritual match. There is a spiritual match for every symbol in the book of Revelation. This is a powerful truth that will open the whole Bible to us.
In the previous truth we learned the need for two witnesses. In this truth we will learn the need for those two witnesses to be a "spiritual match." Let’s now "spiritually match" two witnesses and see the marvelous eye-opening result.
v

But we learned that no witness can stand alone. We must have at least TWO WITNESSES to establish the truth of any doctrine. For the simple fact that orthodoxy absolutely refuses to give you a "spiritual match" to these Scriptures, it has enabled them to attach all kinds of unscriptural, extra-scriptural, anti-scriptural heresies to the above Scripture. Why won’t they give you a "second witness," and a "spiritual match" to the above Scripture? Because the only second witness which is a spiritual match to the above Scripture, destroys their whole pagan teaching regarding it, that’s why.

Kat's is the better answer, Darren...but here's an example. If we read the verse that talks about the Lake of Fire, we're left with nothing but a literal interpretation. But when we add to that the verse that says God is a Consuming Fire then we can begin to see the spiritual truth. The more scripture there is that points to God having to do with Fire and Fire having to do with God the more and more clear things become. Same thing with Lake.
It's not enough with scripture to always rely on a dictionary definition, especially when both of those examples are symbolic. God is NOT literal fire. Nor is the Lake a literal body of water. Without interpreting scripture with scripture, we'd be worshipping fire to keep from being burned up in it. :)
