The Desire of Ages

By MRS. E. G. WHITE.

Perhaps there is nothing that has such power to lift the poor out of their poverty, the wretched out of their misery, to make the burden-bearer forget his burdens, the sick his sufferings, the sorrower his grief, the downtrodden his degradation, as good books. Particularly is this true of publications that have the Bible for their foundation, and pre-eminently among these is the book, “The Desire of Ages.”

It is a friend to the friendless, joy to the joyless, hope to the hopeless, a helper to the helpless, good cheer and courage to the disheartened. It will bring light into darkness, and sunshine into shadow; it reveals the life and character of the Master in a way that gives the reader a new glimpse of our Father’s love in the gift of His only begotten Son for the fallen race.

“The Desire of Ages” is a book for parents, educators, teachers, and students. It is an invaluable reference book, and should be in every home and library.

It is printed on extra finished, supercalendered book paper; contains 866 pages, 87 chapters, general and Scriptural indexes, and appendix; is beautifully illustrated, handsomely and substantially bound. The various styles of binding and prices bring the book within the reach of all.
