Today, I got an interesting surprise. I received a The Great Controversy in my mailbox. Why is this strange? It is one of my favorite books (and it was in my mailbox).
A book that deals with philosophy, current events, prophecy, history and the future. It holds so many answers to things we wonder and think about; humanity as a whole. As the world gets stranger and times are changing, we often find ourselves asking difficult questions or wondering where we are going.
I hope people will take the time to read the book. I hope they don’t judge it by the front or back cover, or by the author.
The book is very relevant. I think it proves itself on many levels to those who give it a chance. It is historically accurate and Biblically accurate, and therefore the authors credibility stands. There is something about this book, that when you read it, it reaches you. A sort of conviction forms.
Throughout history in the Judeo-Christian tradition, prophets were those who spoke according to the Word of God in scripture. The interpretation of prophecy and showing how prophecy was fulfilled in this book certainly impacts.
I take leave, with high hopes that people will open and read this marvelous book. It has an intense beginning, then there is the historical part, which I won’t lie, can get dry but it is interesting and good to know nonetheless, but then it gets “crucial” (chapter 25 on).
[By crucial I mean:
see high school definition and example:
crucial: intense, memorable, poignant.
If you are trapped in a building, that is crucial.
If the building is falling down and you are in it, that is extra crucial.]
Past. Present. Future.
Shakespeare was right in one sense… the world is a stage…
the only difference is we are not merely players…
We are players, but it is a lot deeper than that.
