Volume 1: Patriarchs and Prophets gives the great panorama of human history from the creation of Earth to the reign of Israel's King David.

Their experiences provide rich lessons of faith and evidences of God's love and providential care.752 pages.

Volume 3: The Desire of Ages is an all-time bestseller. This book on the life of Christ is without parallel anywhere.

Volume 4: The Acts of the Apostles gives the vivid, reliable account of the founding of the Christian church. The apostles and early Christian believers were real people, with lessons to learn, and faith to grow.
