The Desire of Ages 

The author treats the life and work of Christ and his disciples in this volume from the standpoint of a believer to believers, and as a Christian to Christians. The Desire of Ages is more than a biography of the life of Christ: it is the story of the ife or lives, revealing the breadth, height, and depth, of the Father’s love, in the gift of his only Son for the fallen race. The scenes and incidents in connection with the Saviour’s birth in Bethlehem of Judea, the appearance of the angels to the shepherds; his mother his first human teacher; Christ’s baptism; the Great Teacher; in Gethsemane; in Pilate’s judgment-hall; Calvary; in Joseph’s new tomb; the resurrection and ascension are dwelt upon in such a way as to enable the reader to obtain a new glimpse of the divine character revealed in the earthly life of Christ. The Desire of Ages is a book for parents, educators, Sunday-school officers, teachers, and students. It is an invaluable reference book, and should be in every home and library.
