On to Number 5

"Men have been unwearied in their efforts to obscure the plain, simple meaning of the Scriptures, and to make them contradict their own testimony; but like the ark upon the billowy deep, the word of God outrides the storms that threaten it with destruction. As the mine has rich veins of gold and silver hidden beneath the surface, so that all must dig who would discover its precious stores, so the Holy Scriptures have treasures of truth that are revealed only to the earnest, humble, prayerful seeker. God designed the Bible to be a lessonbook to all mankind, in childhood, youth, and manhood, and to be studied through all time. He gave His word to men as a revelation of Himself. Every new truth discerned is a fresh disclosure of the character of its Author. The study of the Scriptures is the means divinely ordained to bring men into closer connection with their Creator and to give them a clearer knowledge of His will. It is the medium of communication between God and man." GC 69 

On May 27th, 2012 - I finished reading book number 5 "The Acts of the Apostles." And I began to read the next book in the series, "The Great Controversy." This books dose not look that much bigger than the last one I read but believe me - the writing is a bit smaller and more is fit onto each of the 678 pages. And there are no photos. This book is basically a book about the conflict between good and evil - through out history. Since this is a book about history - there are quotes throughout the book from other sources. And periodically through the book - it will refer you to the appendix to read more from where the quote was gotten from. The Appendix adds another 15 pages of reading material. And like all the books in this series - it has a lot of Bible quotes, which I really enjoy. This book will be a bit more difficult for me to read because it talks about the persecution of those who stay faithful to the Word of God throughout history. If you would like to check this book out you can actually read it on line- Here!  Or if you are interested in buying this book or any in this series you can usually find them at many places on the internet like  - Amazon or  Ebay. Or Here. Or as a new saying that my MIL uses - is you can google it!
