Extremely difficult to tear in one-half.

I received this book unsolicited in the mail today and was unpleasantly unsurprised to find its religious origins. Unsolicited mail comes in ii forms: religious and credit cards, and I doubted very much that this book would climax in a one time-in-a-lifetime low-interest-rate offering.

The dorsum cover yammers on about "a changing earth" with "political alliances" and "forces of nature" or something; a blatant continuation of the tip-toeing done to avoid whatsoever elusion to its religious content. This is clearly a deliberate measure taken to avoid immediate disposal and/or furious propulsion of the book in the direction of modest children and animals.

Back to the pages: I constitute them to be sparse and of poor quality, with an awful typeface and bereft margins and line spacing. I thought for sure that the 370 complete and utter wastes of fourth dimension (read: pages) would be very like shooting fish in a barrel to bisect with a quick "whoosh" of the hands. Alas, I was deceived yet again past the slippery forepart and dorsum covers, whose plasticky, photoprint texture completely thwarted any and all attempts to depict and quarter the monstrosity. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed. Two stars. Exercise not recommend.

Best companion book to the Bible I could ever recommend.

The death of the Apostles brought an end to the sacred history recorded in the Bible save for the prophecies of the hereafter in the Books of Daniel and Revelation, yet the message of the Gospel and the history of the Church continued. The Not bad Controversy, the final volume of Ellen G. White's Conflict of the Ages series in which the history of the Christian Church building is chronicled from the destruction of Jerusalem to the end of sin and the recreation of Earth. At almost 700 pages, the events of The death of the Apostles brought an end to the sacred history recorded in the Bible save for the prophecies of the future in the Books of Daniel and Revelation, however the message of the Gospel and the history of the Church continued. The Great Controversy, the final volume of Ellen G. White'southward Conflict of the Ages serial in which the history of the Christian Church is chronicled from the destruction of Jerusalem to the terminate of sin and the recreation of Earth. At almost 700 pages, the events of the concluding two millennia are touch with special accent on the Reformation, the message of 1844, and the climax of the Great Controversy between Christ and Satan at the end of time.

The Great Controversy focuses entirely on the Christian Historic period with White kickoff the history with the how Christianity became the official organized religion of the Roman Empire however at the aforementioned time was watered down with the influences of paganism and other errors. Yet White emphasizes that like Biblical Israel, even though the bulk of Christians worshiped—unknowingly—in error, some yet held to the truth of Scripture. Then over the form of the next 250 pages, White describes the Protestant Reformation from Wycliffe through the Pilgrim Fathers inflow on the shores of the New World. White so transitions to the events leading up to Great Thwarting of 1844 and the Biblical caption for the significant event that occurred in Heaven. White explains how the Great Controversy is effecting those living not only when she first wrote the book just to the reader today and how it our decisions volition outcome where we stand during the events she describes at the terminate of the book with the 2nd coming of Christ and the destruction of sin.

The Peachy Controversy is the terminal of the five-book Disharmonize of the Ages series and is a mixture of not-Biblical history as well as explanations of the prophetic events of Daniel and Revelation that have and yet to occur through to the cease of sin. This book shows that God'due south bulletin of dear through His law is all the same relevant today as it was from the beginning of Genesis and before, even with the attempts by Satan to undermine it or simply overthrow information technology for his own vision. As in even book in this serial Ellen White wants the readers of The Great Controversy to know that the nowadays world of sin will not last and there will exist an end, yet it is upward to the reader to decide where they will stand in relation to Christ and Satan.

If your view of God is that of a lightning pelting, fire & brimstone, unmerciful, unforgiving ruler, and so yep, you'll about likely be spooked and miss out on how wonderful of a volume this really is.

Its unfortunately that perception trumps reality in many instances, so my heart goes out to those who've been burnt by Bible thumping Christians who've probably knocked folks over the head with this volume (and the Bible for that matter). It's just plain wrong. Information technology is a total misrepresentation of the character of God and anyone who truly is a follower/believer in the Almost Loftier. Earlier any more of this review is written, a deep, heart-felt apology goes out to all who've had any type of experience with a church, believer, relative that fits the description mentioned in this paragraph (vanquish over the head with the Bible, etc).

Having said that, I'll embark my review. The showtime x capacity or so set up the stage with a lot of history. If y'all've struggled to stay away in History class, and so beware trying to get some tracking going with this volume. This isn't to say that its boring, however, at that place'southward a ton of historical accounts that may leave yous wondering "When are you gonna get to the good stuff" Be patient. She's setting the stage for afterward. Hang in there :) (Sidenote: I lament the fact that didn't appreciate History until later in my academic career) If you practise have an appreciation for History, so buckle your seatbelt considering the author unloads a ton information that yous'll desire to go research yourself. Every bit you do so, y'all'll find that this volume is difficult to put downward.

Around chapter 12 or so it starts getting a bit closer to home with the French Revolution, $.25 on the formation of the Americas (equally information technology relates to Biblical prophecy) and the fulfillment of some of those prophecies. She then breaks and provides the needed filler information spending the next few chapters outlining symbols & characters in the Bible that are critical to understanding the dwelling house stretch chapters. Nearly folks get spooked during this time, all the same, this was not my experience. Had I read this book v years ago, probably and so. The departure ( I remember) came as a result of having a radical shift in perspective nearly the character of God. The home stretch chapters then seen more so as lite towers on a raging bounding main as opposed to the headlights of MAC truck coming full speed ahead. The concluding capacity will activate the imagination indeed. I'm surprised this hasn't been turned into a flick (so again, maybe information technology's best that it hasn't :/

The four stars isn't due to whatsoever lack on the volume's behalf, just was more of "I really liked it" as opposed to information technology being "astonishing."

This is fantabulous documentation demonstrating the fact of the universal betrayment afterward Christ and his apostles. I recommend it to anybody, though I do not concur with the proposition that Reformation, nor Seventh-Day Adventism, is the fashion dorsum to God (I am a sincere devotee of restoration through Joseph Smith, the Prophet of God). This book gave me a greater appreciation for all of the many Reformers and their sacrifices to suspension the stranglehold of the backslider Roman Cosmic Church.

A quite controversial book in addressing different dogmatic views of Christianity.

It is in 70 AD, the devastation of Jerusalem in Advertizing 70. We get to delve deep into this upshot; and then the Reformation and Appearance, and finally the end times.

Much of the first half of the book is devoted to the historical conflict between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. White writes that the Papacy propagated a decadent class of Christianity from the time of Constantine I onward and during the Middle Ages was opposed only by the Waldensians and other modest groups, who preserved an authentic form of Christianity. Starting time with John Wycliffe and Jan Huss and standing with Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwingli, and others, the Reformation led to a partial recovery of biblical truth. In the early 19th century William Miller began to preach that Jesus was about to return to earth; his movement eventually resulted in the formation of the Adventist church building.

The second half of the book is prophetic, looking to a resurgence in papal supremacy. The civil government of the United States will form a union with the Roman Catholic church equally well as with apostate Protestantism, leading to enforcement of a universal Sunday law (the mark of the creature) and a great persecution of Sabbath-keepers immediately prior to the 2d coming of Jesus. And these will be part of the end time remnant of believers who are faithful to God, which will be sealed and manifested simply prior to the second coming of Jesus.
