Ministry of Healing

_By Mrs. E. G. White_

All sickness and pain, all suffering and sorrow, are the results of law transgressed. The wonderful human machinery has been tampered with, its delicate mechanism has been made to run counter to the law of its life and persistency; and disease and death are the result.

The central figure in this book is Christ, the great Master Physician. The lessons which He taught, as He healed the sick and relieved the suffering, are presented in a simple but striking manner.

The purpose of the author has been to better acquaint the reader with the principles and methods of Christ as “He went about doing good.” For He came to the world, not to destroy, but to fulfil the law. His life is in perfect accord with the laws of God, and His mission was to bring His followers into harmony with God’s holy requirements. This includes not only the moral law, but also the laws of life and health.

The book is written in clear, simple, beautiful language, instructive to the learner, hopeful to the despondent, cheering to the sick, and restful to the weary. It contains about 550 pages printed on a superior grade of book paper and embellished with more than 200 beautiful illustrations especially prepared for this work. Handsomely bound in three styles.

_Sold by subscription through our regular agents, or may be obtained
from the publishers. Complete catalog, giving styles of binding and

The Great Controversy

_Between Christ and Satan during the Christian Dispensation_

By Mrs. E. G. White

This volume presents the most wonderful and intensely interesting history that has ever been written of 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 of 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 when “sin and sinners are no more; God’s entire universe is clean; and the great controversy is forever ended.” This remarkable book contains about 800 pages, 42 illustrated chapter headings, and 40 full-page illustrations. Handsomely printed and bound.

May be had also in the German, Danish, Swedish, and French
languages.

Sold by subscription through our regular agents, or may be obtained from the publishers. Complete catalog, giving styles of binding and prices of this book and all our publications, will be cheerfully sent on request.

_Daniel and the Revelation_

_The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy_

_A VERSE BY VERSE STUDY OF THESE IMPORTANT BOOKS OF THE BIBLE_

A history of the rise and fall of nations, being an exposition, verse by verse, of the important prophecies of Daniel and John, comparing Scripture predictions with historical facts. It follows in the track of no other commentary; but guided by the obvious rule that the Bible should be its own interpreter, it aims to arrive at the exact meaning of the sacred writers in harmony with the great plan of redemption as presented throughout the Scriptures. The author has devoted over thirty years to the study of the Bible, and believes that the prophecies of Daniel and John were written for our admonition, and that the subjects they unfold are the coming themes for the religious world, destined to engage the attention of all thoughtful minds.

It is generally admitted that certain prophecies of the Bible have been literally fulfilled; but are these isolated instances or are they links in the great chain of prophecy reaching to our time and beyond? If it is found that all prophetic statements referring to events now past have been fulfilled, may we not expect that all those relating to the future will be, also? These are questions in which the world is interested to-day, and nowhere are they so intelligently and systematically treated as in “Daniel and the Revelation.”

Also published in Danish, Swedish, Dutch, and German.
