We know it all too well. This book is not published to tell us that there is an irreconcilable controversy between darkness and light, sin and righteousness, wrong and right, death and life. In our heart of hearts we know it, and know that we are participators, actors, in the conflict. . . .What are the great principles involved? How long will the controversy continue? What will be its ending? Will this earth sink, as some scientists tell us, into the depths of a sunless, frozen, eternal night? or is there a better future before it, radiant with the light of life, warm with the eternal love of God? . . .That we may better understand the principles of the all-important controversy, in which the life of a universe is involved, the author has set it before us in great, concrete object-lessons of the last twenty centuries.

Book excerpt: Ellen Gould White (née Ellen Gould Harmon; November 26, 1827 - July 16, 1915) was an author and an American Christian pioneer. Along with other Sabbatarian Adventist leaders such as Joseph Bates and her husband James White, she formed what became known as the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Smithsonian magazine named Ellen G. White among the "100 Most Significant Americans of All Time. White experienced some 200 alleged visions in public and private meetings throughout her life, which were witnessed by Adventist pioneers and the general public. She verbally described and published for public consumption the content of the alleged visions. The Adventist pioneers viewed these experiences as the Biblical gift of prophecy as outlined in Revelation 12:17 and Revelation 19:10 which describe the testimony of Jesus as the "spirit of prophecy." Her Conflict of the Ages series of writings endeavor to showcase the hand of God in Biblical history and in church history. This cosmic conflict, referred to by Seventh-day Adventist theologians as the "Great Controversy theme," became foundational to the development of Seventh-day Adventist theology. Her book on successful Christian living, Steps to Christ, has been published in more than 140 languages. White was considered a controversial figure by her critics, with much of the controversy centering on her reports of visionary experiences and on the use of other sources in her writings. Historian Randall Balmer has described White as "one of the more important and colorful figures in the history of American religion." Walter Martin described her as "one of the most fascinating and controversial personages ever to appear upon the horizon of religious history." Arthur L. White, her grandson and biographer, writes that Ellen G. White is the most translated female non-fiction author in the history of literature, as well as the most translated American non-fiction author of either gender. Her writings covered a broad range of subjects, including religion, social relationships, prophecy, publishing, nutrition, creationism, agriculture, theology, social justice, evangelism, Christian lifestyle, education, and health. She advocated vegetarianism. She promoted and was instrumental in the establishment of schools and medical centers. During her lifetime she wrote more than 5,000 periodical articles and 40 books. As of 2015 more than 100 White titles are available in English, including compilations from her 100,000 pages of manuscript. Some of her notable books include The Desire of Ages and The Great Controversy. (wikipedia.org)

This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of The Great Controversy - Ellen White's history of Christianity - is unabridged with all forty-two chapters, the appendix, and the original notes included. Throughout her detailed and lengthy treatise, White focuses upon the conflict between Jesus Christ and Satan across various periods of Christian history. Beginning with the Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, we advance chronologically through the early Christian persecutions, to the Renaissance-era Reformations of Europe, and to the spread of Christian beliefs around the world and particularly to America. In this text, White presents Christian history and events as signifying the cosmic battle of duality between Jesus Christ and Satan. The various incidents described are, according to White, manifestations of this battle on Earth. Key players such as the Papacy, together with various saints and prophets are also described as influential upon the ongoing battle. We are also told that the future holds further conflict, and that eventually - with faith and belief sustained by adherents - Satan will be driven out for good. It is through this process that the world will become again the exclusive province of God, with the Earthly lives of mankind characterised by greater harmony and peace thereafter. Ellen G. White was one of the foremost early leaders within the Seventh-Day Adventist church. It is her doctrine - inspired by many visions she had, corresponding with her intensive study of many Christian scriptures and texts - which holds prominent place in Adventist theology to this day. Of the twenty-eight fundamentals belonging to this denomination, this book represents the eighth: That Jesus Christ arose literally and bodily from the grave.

Book excerpt: "If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation."1 From the crest of Olivet, Jesus looked upon Jerusalem. Fair and peaceful was the scene spread out before Him. It was the season of the Passover, and from all lands the children of Jacob had gathered there to celebrate the great national festival. In the midst of gardens and vineyards, and green slopes studded with pilgrims' tents, rose the terraced hills, the stately palaces, and massive bulwarks of Israel's capital. The daughter of Zion seemed in her pride to say, "I sit a queen, and shall see no sorrow;" as lovely then, and deeming herself as secure in Heaven's favor, as when, ages before, the royal minstrel sung, "Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, ... the city of the great King."2 In full view were the magnificent buildings of the temple. The rays of the setting sun lighted up the snowy whiteness of its marble walls, and gleamed from golden gate and tower and pinnacle. "The perfection of [pg 018] beauty" it stood, the pride of the Jewish nation. What child of Israel could gaze upon the scene without a thrill of joy and admiration! But far other thoughts occupied the mind of Jesus. "When He was come near, He beheld the city, and wept over it."3 Amid the universal rejoicing of the triumphal entry, while palm branches waved, while glad hosannas awoke the echoes of the hills, and thousands of voices declared Him king, the world's Redeemer was overwhelmed with a sudden and mysterious sorrow. He, the Son of God, the Promised One of Israel, whose power had conquered death, and called its captives from the grave, was in tears, not of ordinary grief, but of intense, irrepressible agony.

Excerpt: ... the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two bands. Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children. And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude." CHAPTER XIII. JACOB AND THE ANGEL. Jacob's wrong, in receiving his brother's blessing by fraud, is again brought forcibly before him, and he is afraid that God will permit Esau to take his life. In his distress he prays to God all night. An angel was represented to me as standing before Jacob, presenting his wrong before him in its true character. As the angel turns to leave him, Jacob lays hold of him, and will not let him go. He makes supplications with tears. He pleads that he has deeply repented of his sins, and the wrongs against his brother, which have been the means of separating him from his father's house for twenty years. He ventures to plead the promises of God, and the tokens of his favor to him from time to time, in his absence from his father's house. All night Jacob wrestled with the angel, making supplication for a blessing. The angel seemed to be resisting his prayer, by continually calling his sins to his remembrance, at the same time endeavoring to break away from him. Jacob was determined to hold the angel, not only by physical strength, but by the power of living faith. In his distress Jacob referred to the repentance of his soul, the deep humility he had felt for his wrongs. The angel regarded his prayer with seeming indifference, continually making efforts to release himself from the grasp of Jacob. He might...

Book excerpt: This book covers some of the most hotly debated controversies in the evangelical church today: health & wealth gospel, lordship salvation, the end times, radical feminism, divorce & remarriage, counseling & psychology, reconstructionism, abortion, political involvement, women in church leadership. As society drifts from its moorings, it's more important than ever to know why we believe what we do -- and be able to talk to fellow believers in a way that demonstrates, not destroys, unity.Great Divides addresses ten issues that come between believers and undermine the unity and effectiveness of the Body of Christ. By examining the major positions held by evangelicals today, it will encourage people to articulate their own positions, understand the positions of others, and act upon the issues faithfully.Our faith is not simply the study of God and His ways, writes Ronald Nash, but the application of His ways to our lives. Learning to think great thoughts about God, and learning to get along with His people, as varied and different as they are. If we're to seek unity, we must at the very least seek to understand how other Christians view these important issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been much speculation and interreligious debates with regards to the number of possible ways that may lead a person to God and what the ways are. Most of the debates have been between Christians and Muslims, and between those people who think there is possibly more than one way to God, and those people who think that only one way is possible by which a human being may get to God, the creator for eternal life. How many ways are truly there to God, one or many? Any of these answers are easy to give but are different depending on ones school of thought or religious affiliation. The truth, or at least the honest evidence, is the only solution to the whole controversy so that peace may prevail for unity to be possible on the issue of the way to God. In this book, the honest evidence of truth of the number and identity of the possible ways to God is discovered by treading the path of neutrality for truth. It is high time we settled the controversy among the religions concerning the way to God.
