A Book for Everybody

THE new edition of the “Story of Daniel the Prophet” has three features not contained in the former edition:—

First, included in the one hundred additional pages are eleven original illustrations, prepared expressly for this book.

Second, there is a diagram of the sanctuary with Scriptural references and notes, showing that every gospel truth centers in the sanctuary.

Third, over twenty-two hundred questions have been arranged, covering the contents of every chapter in the book. These are not intricate questions, yet will require study. The simply reading of the book will answer every question.

There are hundreds of our people who desire to do something to interest their own families and their neighbors in the study of the Bible and present truth, and would, if they knew how. The “Story of Daniel the Prophet,” with the additional questions, furnishes a means of doing this without arousing controversy. Gather the family together, let one read the questions, and the others read the book, giving the answers to the questions from the book. If further investigation is desired, study the references given on the margin of the book. These references, 4,040 in number, are quoted from every book in the Bible except 2 John and the book of Jude. These marginal references contain one eighth of the entire Bible, and treat upon every subject of present truth. In this way families will become interested not only in the book of Daniel, but in a general knowledge of the Scriptures.

Neighbors may be invited in to join your family study, or the study may be held at their homes. Thus the book becomes a self-educator to the one who asks the questions, and gives him an experience in holding Bible readings.

Thousands who are so situated that they can not canvass, or even distribute tracts and papers, may in this way be the means not only of saving their families, but of placing the light of present truth before thousands this coming winter.

Here is a work where the questions are prepared, answers may be read, and with the marginal references a study may be developed, not on any one point in particular, but on every phase of present truth, as God has given it in his Word, without arousing controversy. Controversy is something which should in all cases be carefully avoided.

One who has been reading the book writes: “We have been reading the book with great satisfaction in the home. Its story form of expression is so much more readable, and so much less liable to arouse controversy. We are delighted with it, and believe its circulation will mark a new era in the spread of these gospel truths to the world.”

Every Seventh-day Adventist family should have the book, and begin a regular course of reading at once in their families or in their neighborhoods.
