The Great Controversy

The Conflict Between Good and Evil Watch the evening news. Turn on your car radio. Scan today’s newspaper. What do you see? Hear? Read? A mix of news, good and bad--but mostly bad. Some of it is downright frightening. What is the world coming to? The news media can tell you what’s happening. But this book will tell you why. And The Great Controversy will tell you something you’ll never hear on the evening newscast. This book will tell you what is going to happen! Unstable economies. Nuclear tensions. Unpredictable terrorism. AIDS. The New Age and the New Right. The occult--and the cults. Where is it all leading? The Great Controversy begins at the dawning of the Christian era, tracing the rise and fall of nations and religious powers down to our day, then plunges ahead to preview the future. And what the book sees coming is based on a source of predictions which has never yet missed in its prophecies. The title of this book refers to the great cosmic war that erupted in the universe thousands of years ago and has raged ever since. Few people alive today realize that this earth is the primary battle zone of that war. And fewer still know why the war is being fought and how and when it will end. But after reading this book, you’ll be one of them. Ellen White was a woman of remarkable spiritual gifts who lived most of her life during the nineteenth century (1827-1915), yet through her writings she is still making a revolutionary impact on millions of people around the world. During her lifetime she wrote more than 5,000 periodical articles and 40 books; but today, including compilations from her 50,000 pages of manuscript, more than 100 titles are available in English. She is the most translated woman writer in the entire history of literature, and the most translated American author of either gender. Her writings cover a broad range of subjects, including religion, education, social relationships, evangelism, prophecy, publishing, nutrition, and management. Her life-changing masterpiece on successful Christian living, Steps to Christ, has been published in more than 140 languages. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
