NOTES

God’s Remnant Church Does God Still Lead His People? The idea that God may bestow His favor or special guidance to a particular group of people is markedly unpopular in recent times. The Bible clearly teaches that God’s love and His intention for the salvation of humanity is universal. “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9, NKJV). But the reality of the great controversy between God and Satan means that God’s truth must contend with errors originated by the great deceiver and propagated by human agents. This book defends the concept that there is a body of truth that reflects God’s message for the end times, and there is a remnant church that “enfeebled and defective as it may be, is the only object on earth on which he bestows his supreme regard” (Ellen G. White, General Conference Daily Bulletin, February 27, 1893). NOTES

The Masterful Deception What the Bible Really Says About Israel’s Role in Prophecy Tensions flare in the Middle East, and the world is on high alert. Does the Bible have anything to say about this? It certainly does, and Satan’s goal is to distort the Bible’s clear predictions. At Christ’s first coming, two thousand years ago, God’s people were expecting a Messiah who would conquer the Romans and make Israel a great nation. They believed this because they had misinterpreted the Old Testament prophecies. When Jesus arrived, He was hardly the King they were expecting, and the majority rejected Him. Today, Satan is scheming to deceive believers about Christ’s second coming. He is leading many Christians to misinterpret Old and New Testament prophecies about the nation of Israel, drawing their attention to the temple in Jerusalem rather than the ministry of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary. In The Masterful Deception, you will learn how God is building a spiritual kingdom in the hearts of believers, not an earthly kingdom under the banners of nations. Understanding this truth is crucial for every believer. “Only those who have been diligent students of the Scriptures . . . will be shielded from the powerful delusion that takes the world captive” (Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, 625). NOTES

Christ, the slain Lamb, is the focal point. If you think you know what the three angels’ messages are all about, think again.

Revisiting the Sanctuary and Its Significance within Adventism “Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15). In the 1830s, Advent fever led many Christians to believe that Jesus would come on October 22, 1844. When He failed to return, they were forced to reevaluate their understanding of Daniel 8:14, “Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” Upon closer examination, they discovered that Daniel’s prophecy was not about Christ’s return to earth; it concerned His ministry in the heavenly sanctuary. This new understanding became the centerpiece of Seventh-day Adventist theology. Critics have long claimed that this insight was simply a clever, face-saving move by disappointed Adventists. And it may have seemed so, were it not for its biblical support. In Revisiting the Sanctuary, Dr. Roy Adams responds to objections to the Adventist understanding of the sanctuary raised by the late Dr. Raymond F. Cottrell (1911–2003). He grapples with the fundamental question facing every Adventist: Is the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, initiated in 1844, a biblical teaching or a baseless fabrication? In answering this question, Adams carefully counters Cottrell’s criticisms and goes on to highlight the prophecy’s grand themes of justice, mercy, and the assurance of salvation. This study is sure to boost your faith and draw you closer to Jesus.

Today many voices claim to have the answers to satisfy mankind’s spiritual quest for meaning. Yet even within Christianity itself, people have questioned long-standing precepts and teachings.

Understanding Daniel and Revelation Paperback The twenty-first century could be dubbed “The Era of Uncertainty.” Few periods in earth’s history are as uncertain as the present one. In contrast, the prophetic revelations of Daniel and Revelation are filled with hope for honesthearted people seeking to understand these troubling times. These books are more than historical dates and facts—much more. From beginning to end, they show the hand of God in human affairs and portray Jesus Christ as the answer to the problems and challenges each one of us face. The more we learn about the prophecies of Scripture, the better we will understand our place in earth’s history and our role in these last days. Understanding Daniel and Revelation is a comprehensive introduction to these two prophetic books, drawn from four decades of Mark Finley’s study of God’s Word. As you read these pages, you will be drawn nearer to Jesus Christ—the Author and Center of all prophecy. The world is facing some extremely serious issues: • The scourge of hate and prejudice • Instability in the Middle East • Rising nuclear threats in Iran and North Korea • The tensions between the United States, Russia, and China • An unstable world economy • Global warming • Rapidly spreading worldwide pandemics • International food shortages Millions nervously ask, “What does the future hold?” The prophecies of Daniel and Revelation hold answers for honest-hearted people seeking to understand the uncertainties of our time. Although the world may seem out of control, prophecy reveals a God who is still in control. And Mark Finley’s Understanding Daniel and Revelation contains the secrets to unlock these ancient predictions.

Affirming Our Identity Current Theological Issues Challenging the Seventh-day Adventist Church In recent years, the Adventist community has experienced a gradual and sometimes worrying weakening of its doctrinal strength. Its identity has been diluted by the impact of societal changes and cultural shifts. As a result, the contemporary Adventist dialogue finds itself at a crossroads, constantly struggling with the negative effects of moral relativism, postmodern skepticism, and secular ideologies. Thus, in an age where subjective experience often trumps objective truth, the Seventh-day Adventist Church faces theological challenges that are both complex and subtle.

BIBLE STUDY US$19.99 Paperback, 306 pages 9788419752710 Safeliz

PROMO BLURB

These challenges are not only merely external threats but also internal tensions—struggles over the interpretation of Scripture, the application of prophetic insights, and the embodiment of the Adventist lifestyle in a rapidly changing world. Amidst this crossroads, therefore, the imperative for a solid, Scripture-based identity emerges with renewed urgency. The Adventist identity must continuously recalibrate itself to the unchanging standard of biblical truth and the exemplar of Christ to maintain its health and vibrant character. This recalibration is an active, critical engagement with the world through the lens of a theologically informed worldview. Affirming Our Identity represents the first installment of a two-volume scholarly and spiritual undertaking that aims to reassert the theological identity of the Adventist faith, while also presenting Seventh-day Adventists with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of their beliefs.

Calvary to Pentecost The weekends that changed the world Calvary to Pentecost covers the two weekends that brought profound change to the world—Calvary and Pentecost. The first was marked by Jesus’ death and resurrection, the next by the Holy Spirit’s presence and anointing. The climax and transitions represented by the events of these weekends—and the 50 days between—transformed the biblical narrative, reframed God’s involvement with us, gave birth to the church and released fresh opportunities for us to experience Him. Calvary to Pentecost explores the intrigue, tragedy and excitement of this time, the evidence for Jesus’ resurrection, and the meaning of Pentecost, when the apostle Peter explained where Jesus had gone and what He was doing. The 50 two-page devotional readings in Calvary to Pentecost will inspire you in your relationship with God and empower you for ministry. Calvary prepared the way for Pentecost—and for us. You might use these 50 readings as: • Easter devotional readings—personal devotional reflections, perhaps starting at Easter time and reading one each day onwards • Devotional reading each week for close to a year—giving time to pray, assimilate and share your discoveries with others • inspiring material for small group discussion—either reading the reflections together, or agreeing to read beforehand, then meeting in a café or home to reflect on your responses • Empowering team-meeting devotions for church and mission movement leaders—the readings tell the story of Jesus’ mission and His call to us to mission • Vision-building gospel readings for church-planting teams preparing launch new missional communities, households of faith or congregations. With Pentecost being the birthday of the Christian church, some churches may work through the 50 reflections from Easter and plan to give birth on Pentecost weekend. NOTES

Thinking Faith Why, When and How Jesus Christ Will Return Thinking is an important ingredient of our faith, while faith must also broaden and deepen our thinking and its possibilities—and both should change our lives and our world. Thinking Faith is a product of years of writing—the chapters were originally published as articles responding to issues and questions in our church and our world over the past few years. But more than just being a product of years of writing, it is also a product of years of thought. Indeed, Thinking Faith collects some of Nathan Brown’s best thoughts—and questions—about the faith we share, most of which have not previously been published in the South Pacific. The Adventist Church has processes for evangelism: various health and cooking programs, camps, Bible study series, TV programs, public evangelism series. Like many others, my home church is active in these areas. For a long time, being part of this process is what it has meant to me to live out my faith. And it is certainly a way to do that. But Thinking Faith reminded me that faithfulness is not only about what I am a part of doing, but also about what I reflect on, what I care about and how I live out what I believe in my interactions with the people and issues around me. Each of the 25 chapters challenges us to think well—not only about faith issues like Jesus’ death and resurrection, the three angels’ messages and hope, but also about our church and its history, and about how our Adventist beliefs intersect with concerns such as climate change, racism, equality, charity and justice. Reading Thinking Faith stirred me up. There were moments of joyful resonance and clarity. But it also gave me a sort of itchy restlessness—in what I’m sure were good ways—to be better intellectually and spiritually. Not for myself, but because I could clearly see that if I was more thinking about my faith, I would be more relevant to the people around me and would be learning more attractive and purposeful ways to show others what God’s love is, does and can do. —Lauren Webb, assistant book editor, Signs Publishing

G. I. Butler An Honest but Misunderstood Church Leader While George Ide Butler is not a household name among Adventists today, that was not true for those who lived in the second half of the 1800s. Twice president of the General Conference, Butler is probably better known for aggressively resisting A. T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner at the 1888 Minneapolis General Conference Session. In G. I. Butler, Denis Fortin puts readers into Butler’s shoes, revealing his heart, understanding his arguments, and viewing the young church through his lens. Yet, Fortin presents much more than a volume about Butler himself. The work provides a dynamic stream of Adventist history from Butler’s perspective as the denomination faced new stresses and strains—including complex family relationships and opposing power centers—as it sought to define itself and how it would operate.

It is a messy yet encouraging picture of Adventist leaders living in the real world as they sought to move the church into the future. That less-than-ideal historical picture helps us understand that even exceptional church leaders can be complex and fallible. Step into Butler’s shoes for a fascinating walk through early Adventist history. NOTES

A Voice to Rouse the Nations Ellen White and the Growth of Adventist Mission Work Seventh-day Adventists were not always committed to worldwide mission. Early Adventists were steeped in American particularism and national pride, preventing them from expanding their spiritual world view. As the pioneers adjusted their belief, they faced doubts about whether such a small movement truly could “go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15, NKJV). During its first four decades, the Seventh-day Adventist Church transitioned from a small North American sect to a worldwide movement. Still, more than a century after Ellen White’s death in 1915, the “work is not yet done.” Are we doing our duty today? Everyone—from the senior living next door to the teenager growing up in a remote village across the globe—deserves to know about the Savior who died for us, was raised to life for us, and ministers in heaven for us, redeeming us from the wages of sin through His righteousness and leading us to healthful living and Sabbath rest. A Voice to Rouse the Nations is an illustrated history of Seventh-day Adventist mission work through 1915. Author David Trim explores the evolution of the pioneers’ beliefs and attitudes, introduces early overseas missionaries and their goals, and examines Ellen White’s role in the development and reform of the church’s global mission work. The adventure of the Great Commission beckons—will you answer the call? NOTES

Waco, A Living History How Adventist Faith Responds to Race and Racism “Waco was a tragedy, not just for its own time.” Do the consequences of the events that took place at Waco, Texas, in 1993 still reverberate with us all these decades later? The authors of this book believe they do. Journey with them through a forensic examination of the Branch Davidian movement from its inception to the dreadful events that culminated in April 1993, including an analysis of the possible reasons that motivated David Koresh, the self-styled messiah, and viewpoints from both the loyal and disaffected members of the cult. Why did it all happen? With the benefit of 30 years’ hindsight, the authors attempt to answer that burning question.

40 Days Prayers and Devotions on the Assurance of Salvation Do you “hope” you will be saved when Jesus returns to take His people home? There are many committed church members who love the Lord and who have given many faithful years of service to Him. Yet, in spite of this wonderful testimony of their life, deep in the hearts they still only “hope” to be saved. God wants us to be assured of our salvation. This firm foundation will be essential for those living in the last, difficult days of Earth’s history. Satan knows that people without a firm foundation of trust in the fullness of Christ’s sacrifice will be easier to discourage and deceive. “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:13). Discover whether you are born-again, hear important truths to remember, see evidence of a saving faith, explore why Christians suffer, and more in this 40day study designed to bring you peace in Jesus. This is the fourteenth book in the 40 Days devotional series. As with the first thirteen books, this devotional is designed to prepare God’s church for Christ’s second coming as well as to help His people reach out to others in preparation for that glorious event. This preparation begins with church members who are willing to commit to 40 days of prayer and devotional study to develop a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.

Why Pray? Does prayer seem like an enigma—a great unknown, unfathomable, and at times, unattainable mystical experience often held up as the key that unlocks spiritual success? That’s how it felt to author Mike Tucker, and he wanted answers. “What am I to do with prayer? Why do I pray? Why should I pray?” In Why Pray? Tucker studies some of the prayers that appear in Scripture and explores what they teach us about prayer and worship—and the character of God. He examines biblical accounts of worship services, since prayer and worship are inextricably linked. And he highlights miraculous answers, great disappointments, and unexpected benefits of prayer.

PRAYER

Discover prayer as a lens that brings the heart of the Father into focus. And as we begin to understand God’s great heart, something miraculous begins to happen. Slowly, often almost imperceptibly, our hearts begin to resemble God’s own great heart. NOTES

Learning Life How Personal Devotions Can Make a Difference “The life application is what was changing me. I was no longer simply reading the Bible. Now, I was reading it and applying what I read to my own life and seeing how it fit into my consciousness. . . . Reading the Bible as simply head knowledge but not applying it to one’s own life is almost pointless.” Most Christians have heard again and again that personal devotions—alone time with God and the Bible—are a critical component of a healthy, growing spiritual life.

From the first story, Dr. Schubert is an engaging writer. The tone is friendly and playful, and her stories are relatable—you can easily compare her experiences to your own. She takes stories that we might be tempted to brush off as mundane and insignificant and demonstrates that they are powerful, that there is something to be learnt from them. The questions asked at the end of each story allow us to get the most out of the stories told and challenge us to reflect on our own experiences. These questions make the book perfect to inspire journalling or discussions with friends. The first story told is from the perspective of before she was born, and it’s immediately clear that Dr. Schubert had a difficult childhood. Her family struggled with poverty and substance abuse, but they stayed strong throughout. The Green Dr.ess reflects on the way the author perceived her mother as a child and how she sees her now, looking back as an adult, and it’s inspiring to see the way her views have changed with age. Throughout The Green Dress, Dr. Schubert makes links to her faith and the way it has guided her through difficulties with money, family and personal worldview. She finds God’s presence in every story she tells and sees the ways He quietly helps her to think positively and make the right decisions. The Green Dress leaves us reflecting on our own difficulties and mistakes, and finding God’s presence in our everyday life. It leaves us asking ourselves what we can learn from the stories we brush off and forget—and helps us see the value in sharing the stories from our own lives. —Tess Carter, work experience student, Signs Publishing BONUS: Each devotional story has a beautiful illustration, by Maryellen Hacko, designed for colouring in as you muse over what you’ve just read or reflect on the questions at the end of each chapter.

I want to tell you my story and help you find that same confidence in Jesus. You were chosen and called by God to make the world a better place just by being in it.

Jesus Wins Bible Study Guides We Know How the Story Ends . . . Imagine a couple of loving parents holding their baby in their arms for the first time. Now try to imagine what they would do if their little one was snatched from their arms by a kidnapper who wants to destroy the child forever. If we can understand how those parents would feel, perhaps we can begin to understand something of God’s plan of salvation to rescue His children. The human race, buried in sin, with no possibility of eternal survival, could only be rescued with help from above. The Bible tells us how this rescue plan was fulfilled through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In fact, the entire Bible was written to announce that plan! The holy Scriptures are filled with joy and excitement because salvation has been achieved for all who accept His plan. Soon He will return to take His children home! In this course of ten interactive Bible studies, you will encounter the Creator-Redeemer God, who loves you with a love much greater than any failure you have ever had, and who wants to gift you His salvation and dwell with you eternally. As you understand more and more about this loving God, you will enjoy a life of fullness and peace, here and now, while we wait for His return. At the end of each study, you will find a QR code so you can watch a short video summarizing each lesson. We invite you to join us on this fascinating journey through the Holy Scriptures! We know how the story ends—JESUS WINS! Available in English and Spanish.

Satan’s First Lie Exposing Global Myths About Death, Ghosts, and the Afterlife A long, long time ago, before our world became infected by sin, a serpent slithered among the colorful branches of “the tree of knowledge of good and evil” (see Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:1). Unknown to Eve—the first woman created by our loving God—that mysterious reptile was about to become a mouthpiece for a dark, masterfully deceptive, sinister being. When the creature spoke, its voice was soft, smooth, melodious, and mesmerizing. “You shall not surely die” (Genesis 3:4) was its seductive message. Tragically, Eve believed the snake and chose to taste the forbidden fruit. This is how sin and death entered the human family. Believe it or not, that ancient serpent’s message is now being repeated by nearly every religious teacher and religion on planet Earth. But it’s a lie.

El Mensaje de los Tres Ángeles The Three Angels’ Messages (Spanish) UNA PROCLAMACIÓN PODEROSA PARA LOS TIEMPOS FINALES Para Elena de White y los pioneros adventistas, las enseñanzas relacionadas con los ángeles de Apocalipsis 14 hicieron mucho más que satisfacer su curiosidad. Para los estudiantes de la Biblia que aprendieron a rastrear los pasos de Dios a través de la historia y fueron testigos del cumplimiento de la profecía en sus días, los mensajes de los tres ángeles se convirtieron en una guía crucial en su viaje a través de la anticipación, la decepción de 1844 y un descubrimiento más profundo. Después de una introducción histórica y teológica al tema, los siete capítulos de este libro hablan de la centralidad del evangelio, el Dios Creador, el juicio previo al advenimiento, la caída de Babilonia y la imagen de la bestia. También estamos seguros del inmenso poder de la proclamación de Dios del tiempo del fin que precede a la aparición gloriosa de nuestro Señor. A POWERFUL PROCLAMATION FOR THE END TIMES For Ellen G.

After a historical and theological introduction to the topic, this book’s seven chapters speak about the centrality of the gospel, the Creator God, the preAdvent judgment, the fall of Babylon, and the image of the beast. We are also assured of the immense power of God’s end-time proclamation preceding the glorious appearance of our Lord. NOTES
