The Desire of Ages

The author treats the life and work of Christ and his disciples in this volume from the standpoint of a believer to believers, and as a Christian to Christians.

“The Desire of Ages” is more than a biography of the life of Christ: it is the story of the life of lives, revealing the breadth, height, and depth of the Father’s love in the gift of his only begotten Son for the fallen race. This gift of love was recorded by the seers of old in Sacred Writ long before the Messiah came to the deliverance of his people.

The scenes and incidents in connection with the Saviour’s birth in Bethlehem of Judea, the appearance of the angels to the shepherds; his presentation; the visit of the wise men; the childhood and youth of Jesus; his mother his first human teacher; Christ’s baptism; choosing his disciples; the Great Teacher; his miracles and labors; nearing the end; in Gethsemane; before Annas; in Pilate’s judgment-hall; Calvary; in Joseph’s new tomb; and the resurrection and ascension are dwelt upon in such a way as to enable the reader to obtain a new glimpse of the divine character revealed in the earthly life of Christ.
