As a forced participant in the irreconcilable controversy between good and evil, do you ever question:
- How did this great battle begin?
- What principles are involved?
- How long will it go on?
- How will it end?
- What will prevent my deception and destruction?
- How may the battle for my heart be forever settled in victory?
Take courage! God, who created in you the longing for a better existence and the desire for truth, has not withheld this life-giving knowledge from you.
With this study guide, take an incredible journey through the Bible, along with The Great Controversy. As you find the answers to the above questions — and many others — you will gain an understanding of critical last day events that will better prepare you to make the decisions that will determine your eternal destiny.
Divided into 13 lessons that follow the last 14 chapters of The Great Controversy. Questions are given, with Bible texts to read to find the answer, followed by a paragraph from the coinciding chapter of The Great Controversy to further expound on the answer. Though the text is somewhat abridged, the student does not need a separate copy of The Great Controversy.There is also a detailed answer key. Additional details of history and interpretation of key prophecies are also given in 7 appendices.
This is an excellent book for your personal study, but is specifically intended for use in studying together with a friend or in a group. Suggestions are given for effectively conducting group studies, and each book contains a certificate of completion that may be filled out by the group leader.
