Three Books Designated

Patriarchs and Prophets, Daniel and the Revelation, and Great Controversy

As to the present importance of these three books we quote the following, written by Mrs. E. G. White, Jan. 16, 1905:— “Instruction has been given me that the important books containing the light that God has given regarding Satan’s apostasy in heaven, should be given wide circulation just now; for through them the truth will reach many minds. ‘Patriarchs and Prophets,’ ‘Daniel and the Revelation’ and ‘Great Controversy’ are needed now as never before. They should be widely circulated because the truths they emphasize will open many blind eyes. Many of our people have been blind to the importance of the very books that were most needed. Had tact and skill been shown in the sale of these books, the Sunday law would not be where it is to-day.”
The following brief description of these three books containing special light due the world at this particular time will aid our readers to recognize the importance of these books as mentioned in the Testimony quoted above:—

Patriarchs and Prophets

BY MRS. E. G. WHITE
A commentary on the principal Bible subjects from Adam to the death of David, including an exhaustive study of the sanctuary and its services, the exodus, the law, the giving of the manna, the Sabbath, etc.
The life of each of the patriarchs from Adam to King David is thrillingly portrayed; and from each a lesson is drawn, pointing out the consequences of sin, and bringing vividly to mind Satan’s studied plan for the overthrow of the race. It traces the great conflict between good and evil from its inception down through the centuries to the time of David’s death, and reveals God’s wonderful love for mankind by his dealings with “holy men of old.” The book is written in plain, simple style, yet in such a manner as to stir the soul of the reader, and awaken the emotions of the mind.
The work contains 760 large octavo pages. Thoroughly illustrated with beautiful engravings, more than half of which are full page. Cloth binding, gilt, $2.50; full morocco, gilt, $4.50. The work is also issued in the Danish, Swedish, German, and Dutch languages at the same prices.

The Great Controversy

BY MRS. E. G. WHITE
A valuable work upon the great controversy between Christ and Satan during the Christian dispensation. It is a companion volume to “Patriarchs and Prophets.” The book contains the most intensely interesting history that has ever been written on the great conflict between Christianity and the powers of darkness as illustrated in the lives of Christian martyrs and reformers on the one hand, and wicked men and persecuting powers, on the other. Beginning with our Lord’s great prophecy given while viewing Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, this book outlines the history of the whole dispensation down to the time of the end, when God’s entire universe is clean, and the great controversy is forever ended.
The work contains 700 pages, and is appropriately illustrated, handsomely printed, and bound in the following styles: cloth, marbled edges, $2.25; cloth, gilt edges, $2.75; library, marbled edges, $3; half morocco, gilt edges, $4.50. Published also in Danish, Swedish, German, and French at the above prices.

Daniel and the Revelation

BY URIAH SMITH
“Daniel and the Revelation” is a verse-by-verse study of the prophecies recorded in the books of Daniel and the Revelation of the Bible.
These books of the Bible have been considered difficult to understand; but this book is a key which makes plain what was before dark and obscure. It follows the correct rule of interpretation, which has guided every reformer in the past from darkness to light. The field of history is carefully scanned, and the emphatic response it gives in thrilling confirmation of the voice of prophecy is shown to be clear and beyond dispute. A prophecy fulfilled is a most powerful antidote against skepticism. The book of Daniel reveals many prophecies fulfilled, and cites others still future. It also gives scenes of the most startling nature which are yet future, and should be understood.
The book contains 757 octavo pages, exclusive of sixty-six full-page illustrations. It is beautifully and substantially bound in the following styles: cloth, marbled edges, $2.25; cloth, gilt edges, $2.75; library, marbled edges, $3; full morocco, gilt edges, $4.50.
