Not illustrated. 1900 Excerpt: ...By this relation of events in the lives of the prophets, Jesus met the questionings of His hearers. The servants whom God had chosen for a special work, were not allowed to labor for a hard-hearted and unbelieving people.. But those who had hearts to feel and faith to believe were especially favored with evidences of His power through the prophets. In the days of Elijah, Israel had departed from God. They clung to their sins, and rejected the warnings of the Spirit through the Lord's messengers. Thus they cut themselves off from the channel by which God's blessing could come to them. The Lord passed by the homes of Israel, and found a refuge for His servant in a heathen land, with a woman who did not belong to the chosen people. But this woman was favored because she had followed the light she had received, and her heart was open to the greater light that God sent her through His prophet. It was for the same reason that in Elisha's time the lepers of Israel were passed by. But Naaman, a heathen nobleman, had been faithful to his convictions of right, and had felt his great need of help. He was in a 1 R. V. condition to receive the gifts of God's grace. He was not only cleansed from his leprosy, but blessed with a knowledge of the true God. Our standing before God depends, not upon the amount of light we have received, but upon the use we make of what we have. Thus even the heathen who choose the right as far as they can distinguish it, are in a more favorable condition than are those who have had great light, and profess to serve God, but who disregard the light, and by their daily life contradict their profession.

Best book on the life of Christ
This the finest presentation on the life of Christ you will ever find. It relates the story from His birth to death to ascension, closely following the narrative from the four Gospels of the Bible, but also bringing in historical information to make the story come alive. You will read it again and again, each time finding new spiritual lessons.

Best Book On theLife of Christ
When I first read this book on the life of Christ it captured my heart .The author tells the story of Jesus the Son of God with such passion and detail that I have not seen in other books of it's kind. She takes you on a journey from birth through his childhood and adult years as if she were there in every situation. If you want to experience Jesus as never before read The Desire of Ages. You will find that you will read it again and again!
