"The dawn of the New Testament era was ushered in by the Sermon on the Mount over two millennia ago. Ellen White's retelling of Christ's familiar words brings out precious treasures new and old. The reader is transported back in time to experience, the inaugural address of Christ's Kingdom, as if for the first time. Christ's benediction to the world, and this telling of it is for everyone."
"Nothing captures the imagination like a story. Jesus's stories were so enthralling that even His enemies forgot about time and circumstance. In the mainly post agrarian society of today, Ellen White's work rekindles in the modern reader the same all-absorbing quality of Jesus's stories."
"Ellen Gould White (1827 - 1915) was a cofounder of what later became known as the Seventh-day Adventist Church. As one of the five volumes of her "Conflict of the Ages" series, 'The Desire of Ages' is a book about the life and significance of Jesus Christ. White does not relate the story of Jesus in chronological order, but by theme. The book begins with the prophecy about the name, Immanuel, and proceeds with the birth of Jesus and his later life and ministry, including the miracles of Christ, his teachings to his disciples, and his death, resurrection, and ascension. White's interpretation of scripture is quite unique, and supplied a theological foundation for the creation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. While its popularity has never been restricted to the aforementioned denomination, the book has caused controversy and has drawn criticism from Christian theologians."
"Many books have been written about Christ and the Christian life, but few have captured so much in so succinct a manner. Jacob dreamed a dream of steps up to heaven connected and accessible to man. Today that ladder still exists outlined in a way worthy of its subject."
"The Desire of Ages lays out the life of Christ so intimately that the listener will feel as if he or she were walking the paths of Galilee with the master relaying a parable, or sitting on the Mount of Olives watching the agony of our Lord. At its heart, the book is devotional saying to the listener that Jesus Christ fulfills the deepest longings of the human soul. "Without distinction of age, or rank, or nationality, or religious privilege, all are invited to come unto Him and live.""
"Ellen Gould White (1827 - 1915) was a prolific Christian writer, authoring 40 books in her lifetime. She was active in the Millerite movement, and was one of the principle founders of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Steps to Christ, first published in 1892, is her most popular book. It has been translated into more than 70 languages. The theme of the book is how to come to know Christ better. (Summary by Donald Hines)"
