Scott Burgess's entirely new commentary on the book of Revelation inspires courage and faithfulness in the reader as it reveals, page after page, how the end-time judgment is the most joyous event in history: Jesus' marriage to His bride. Readers will treasure The Wedding: Jesus Stands for His Bride in the Book of Revelation for both its educational and devotional value.The author upholds the traditional Adventist methodology of allowing Scripture to interpret itself, and looking to history to confirm fulfilled prophecy. With that said, he also introduces a number of fresh insights. He highlights fascinating linguistic and conceptual connections with other portions of Scripture that many of us have not identified before. Those who pore over this tome will find a number of areas they readily agree with, and other areas that will require prayer and reflection before forming a decision, but nearly all will acknowledge Burgess' skillful manner of provoking prayerful thought and contemplation.What makes this book truly worthwhile is the presence of Christ. Burgess stresses the ubiquity of His manifestation throughout the book-as the One who stands seven times on behalf of His bride, empowering her to withstand the fiercest opposition for the sake of faithfulness to Him and His commandments. For those of us who are living in the judgment hour, Jesus offers us the enormous privilege of issuing the final wedding invitation to the world, sitting with Him upon His throne, and living with Him for eternity.

God is not the author of war or calamity but He uses these disasters to the only source of help. He has implanted deeply in every heart a consciousness of Himself to which we instinctively turn in moments of sorrow or danger.The world situation demands a deeper consecration on the part of God's people. The work that must be done can never be accomplished by merely using better plans or new devices. It will not be finished by might or by power but by the Spirit of God. It will be finished by earnest prayer and deeper consecration; by men and women who know their God and who go forward by faith in Him.

The experiences of ancient Israel under the Exodus movement were a type of the experiences of modern Israel under the Advent movement. They are parallel movements.

Modern spiritual Egypt and Babylon, symbolic of darkness and confusion, is being led through the wilderness of sin to the heavenly Canaan land.

Alonzo Trévier Jones (1859-1923) spoke before a United States Congressional subcommittee in 1889, to oppose the Breckinridge Bill,which sought to compel Sunday observance in the District of Columbia. He soon became a world-famous writer and speaker for religious liberty. He served as co-editor of The American Sentinel, a public magazine defending the principles of freedom in the United States.His desire was to awaken more interest in the study of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which would clarify the understanding of men's liberty of conscience. This book will help each reader to see the relation that should exist between civil government and religion, according to the words of Christ and the American Constitution.

For the last several decades the human nature of Christ has been the subject of intense study in some scholarly Seventh-day Adventist circles. The publication of "Questions on Doctrine" (1957) set the stage for almost three decades of as yet unresolved debate, witnessed most recently in the two opposing views published side by side in the June 1985 issue of Ministry magazine.Dr. Ralph S. Larson, for several years Coordinator of the Church and ministry department of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, Far east, enters the debate with The Word Was Made Flesh, with a limited, rather specialized objective. Dr. Larson does not deal directly with the whole issue of Christ's human nature. He traces the understanding of this aspect of Christology within the Seventh-day Adventist Church from 1852 until 1952.Dr Larson provides here a fairly comprehensive survey of the historical evidence, and his contribution to the study of this important topic is extremely valuable. Whether we agree or not with his conclusions, we are all indebted to him for the painstaking work of assembling this extensive compilation of statements made in writing by Seventh-day Adventists for one hundred years.For some readers, careful reading of "The Word Was Made Flesh" may not provide all the definitive answers sought, However, it will surely prove to be for all a most enriching and stimulating experience.

Clever book titles abound, often obscuring the real message of the author. Not this one. This book discusses exactly what its title announces: the reality of the spiritual warfare daily facing God's people and the certainty of victory!Few Christians grasp the vast implications of this awesome and wonderful truth. Most of us have understood correctly that the great controversy between Christ and Satan is a struggle of enormous theological and historical significance.Too many are burying their heads in the sand, refusing to look at or recognize the enemy's strategies and devices. The material contained in this book is Biblical and solidly supported from the voluminous supplemental inspiration graciously given our people in the Spirit of Prophecy --Dr. George H. Akers

In this book, Vaughn Allen draws on more than a decade of personal experience in ministering to "those possessed by evil spirits." He writes with conviction that restoration of this long-neglected aspect of the gospel ministry is more needed now than ever-a need which will become even greater as we draw nearer to the second Advent of Christ."Souls possessed with evil spirits will present themselves before us. We must cultivate the spirit of earnest prayer, mingled with genuine faith to save them from ruin, and this will confirm our faith. God designs that the sick, the unfortunate, those possessed with evil spirits shall hear His voice through us."

The headlines are unmistakable.Our world is on the precipice of extraordinary, cataclysmic change.The conflict between two great world religions-Islam and Christianity-is fast approaching a devastating climax that will shake the whole world.Indeed, the fact of Western Europe has already been transformed through rapid Islamic expansion, and the fear of terror and holy war pervade the American psyche as multiple conflicts rage in the Middle East.But what happens next, and when?In an age of constant unpredictability, how can we really know what the future holds?After a decade of careful study and scholarly legwork, international speaker Tim Roosenberg unveils a staggering new study of Bible prophecy that demonstrates that God's Word is not silent regarding Islam in these last days.Islam and Christianity in Prophecy carefully explores and unlocks the mysterious book of Daniel, specifically chapters 11 and 12, unveiling a thrilling picture of prophecy that includes the past, present, and future roles of Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam, and the United States in the final conflict ahead.Along the way, Pastor Roosenberg provides the answers you need to survive the coming holy war, answers that will give you complete confidence in God's Word, and faith in the promises of Jesus Christ."From the ancestors of Abraham sprang the world's two largest religions today, Christianity and Islam. While there is still much that is unknown, it is hard to deny that Islam will have a significant role in last day prophecy. With Scripture, history, and reason, Pastor Tim Roosenberg presents a compelling scenario for the prominent place of Islam in future prophecy."-Doug Batchelor, Amazing Facts International

A Vision Becomes Reality is the story of how a Seventh-day Adventist educational institution, West Indies College (now Northern Caribbean University) in Mandeville, Jamaica, collaborated with a Seventh-day Adventist health care institution, Andrews Memorial Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica, to develop and implement the Department of Nursing Education and the first baccalaureate nursing programme in Jamaica. This is the first time the early history of this endeavour has been published.Many individuals provided information on the history of this landmark programme in Jamaica. Without the help of the numerous people involved in the story of the college, hospital, and baccalaureate nursing programme, this account would not have been possible.It is the authors' hope that the content will provide information on the early history of Seventh-day Adventist higher education and medical work in Jamaica as well as provide a blueprint of the process used in developing what is now Northern Caribbean University Department of Nursing and its baccalaureate nursing programme as it reaches its fiftieth anniversary in 2020.

Nearly 25 centuries ago, the angel Gabriel foretold the time Christ would transfer His ministry from the holy place to the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary in preparation for the time when divine intercession for man's salvation would be finished.Christ has revealed His plans about the reward of the righteous and the final disposition of evildoers inside the pages of the Bible. The Most High has assured us in His word that the root and branches of sin will be consumed into smoke and ashes - evil shall not rise the second time.The Sanctuary is mentioned in both the beginning and end of the Bible. Between these entries are some of the most fascinating and inspiriting themes that can occupy the human mind is revealed. The study of the sanctuary may properly engage the interest of the one who desires to understand the purposes of the Creator in the salvation of the rigorous and the final disposition of evil.

The book of Hebrews appeared during a critical time in the history of the early church. The destruction of Jerusalem was impending and many of the believers believed the end of the world was near. However, Paul warned the church against entertaining a false hope, for he knew they were misguided with their beliefs. It was a critical time-the apostles were passing away, and soon the church would be left alone. It was in this hour of perplexity that the book of Hebrews appeared with needed light and comfort. The people needed a clear conception of the work Christ was doing for them in the courts above, and this book explained the delay in His return, and restored their wavering faith.The conditions and problems which the church then had to meet are not unlike those facing the church today. While the early church was living at the time of the fulfillment of the first part of Christ's prophecy-the destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the temple, we are living at the time of the fulfillment of the second part of the prophecy-the coming of the Lord Jesus in the clouds of heaven. As there was misconceptions of Christ's work in the sanctuary then, so there are those now who likewise err. There is as much need today of a thorough study of the Scriptures as there was then, and more so.The book of Hebrews was a great factor in stabilizing the apostolic church in the crisis hour before the fall of Jerusalem, and it is hoped that a discussion of the mighty themes of the book of Hebrews will be of some help to the church of God today. All need to have their eyes fastened on our great High Priest and the work He is doing in the sanctuary above. And may it be the blessed privilege of many with "boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh." (Heb. 10:19, 20.) This was the prayer and hope of the author of Hebrews, and this also is the hope of the author of this volume.

Lest you think that Dr. Coleman has "quit preachin' and gone to meddlin'" in this sensitive topic of music, and especially church-appropriate music, please give this book a chance. Coleman draws from many sources, both Seventh-day Adventist and non-Adventist, to explain just how the type of music we use in church worship services affects our worship experience and our Christian experience.When addressing the current trend of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), he assures the reader that he is not against all CCM, but cautions against using a song just because it may be popular or may draw a certain crowd into the church. He shows how merely the use of contemporary music may attract people to attend church, but it doesn't necessarily lead to a true conversion or the intentional discipling of those people.Dr. Coleman states, "The seeker sensitive model involved a de-emphasis of traditional methods of evangelism and discipleship such as doctrinal preaching, calling for repentance from sin, and committing oneself to give Bible studies; rather, it focused on innovation and meeting the wants of people-often dubbed "felt needs" … The seeker sensitive model also caused people to view Christianity as something "cool" and made them feel comfortable in "dressing down" to attend church worship service, sometimes in jeans and a t-shirt. However, it resulted in producing spiritually weak Christians who were pastor-dependent and not committed to making disciples for Christ."Music ministry leaders and anyone who enjoys music in church will learn to be a little more discriminating in the choice of music after gaining the insights provided in this book.

The Battle for Your Heart traces prophecy and history through the inspired writings available to God's people, this book shows a compassionate God outlining each event in order and detail. Instead of fear and uncertainty, we can have joyous hope and full confidence in God's love and power in the last days with full knowledge that He is in control.

Christian education has all but disappeared from the majority of educational systems around the world. As governments limit or banish God from among our schools in the name of "separation of church and state," we find the very foundation upon which many schools began disintegrating before our eyes. This is not a new problem. Over the centuries people have had the same concern of what is true education and the place of religion in the educational system. Among these were the newly devoted Christians arising from the Great Advent movement sweeping North America during the 18th and 19th century. Author Alonzo T. Jones, an important figure in Great Advent movement, felt that Christians should take a solid look at the educational systems of that day.Jones believed that true Christian education was the only becoming choice to Christians. In The Place of the Bible in Education, he outlines according to the Bible what exactly Christian education looks like. He also explores the true meaning of the separation between church and state and how Christian education does not fall under such discrimination. In this book, he discusses how secular education falls short of even the true meaning of education and how this has an adverse affect on our young people. Jones shows how there is a Biblical precedent for true education and how the Bible should and can become part of the educational system.

"A Word to the Little Flock" was published in 1847 by James White, a young minister of twenty-five at the time of its release. The book features articles and correspondence that address the events of October 22, 1844, and the unfulfilled prophecies of Daniel and Revelation. It provides a unique look into the experience and thinking of our Adventist pioneers in the years immediately following the Great Disappointment as they studied the Bible to understand what the future held for Christ's followers and the world.

The Men of the Mountains brings vividly before its readers conditions long past-and some even now still prevalent-in the highlands of the South. The story of the conquest of this vast section of our country by the early settlers, and of the valor, honor, and humor of their descendants is well worth careful study.In this book, A W Spalding tells of the great natural resources of both the individuals and their mountains; it shows the character of work being done in this mountain land by many devoted men and women-teachers, medical workers, and home builders, and in the telling, all is woven into one thrilling story. It reveals the mountain and hill country of the South, and most specifically Appalachia, as a training ground for Christian workers-home and foreign. The Men of the Mountains presents the hardy, fearless American Mountaineer, converted and consecrated, as a great and powerful factor in the finishing of God's work in the earth.

"We need to go back to the instruction given in 1888, which we scorned. We need a reform in organization that will not permit a few to direct every move made anywhere in the world. We need a reform that will not permit a few to handle finances. We need a reform that will not permit the spending of millions on institutions not authorized by the vote of the constituency. We need a change in the emphasis that is given to promotion, finances, and statistics. We need to restore the Sabbath School to its rightful place in the work of God. We need to put a stop to the entertainments and suppers that are creeping in under the guise of raising money for good purposes. We need to put a stop to announcements in church that are merely disguised advertisements. However, while all these things are important, they are only minor things. We need reformation and revival most of all."-M. L. Andreasen, August 1959

In today's world of sinfulness and godlessness, we are in desperate need of returning to traditional values and morals. "The greatest want of the world is the want of men-men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall." Education, 57Dare to Be a Daniel is a compilation of Ellen G. White's writings that expounds upon the life of this biblical hero, showing the lessons that can be learned from Daniel as he strove to honor and serve God every moment of every day. This collection of quotes is taken from a series on the life of Daniel in The Youth's Instructor, along with complimenting excerpts from The Review and Herald, The Signs of the Times, and Patriarchs and Prophets.
