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.
Complete catalog, giving styles of binding and prices of all our books
and other publications, will be promptly furnished on request.
