How will Satan try todeceive the whole world?

“Through the two great errors, the immortality of thesoul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring thepeople under his deceptions. While the former lays thefoundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond ofsympathy with Rome.” The Great Controversy, 588.

This statement inspired Jacob Teske to write two booksthat you can share with your friends and neighbors—orbulk mail to a Zip code of your choice:

The Lord’s Day and a National Sunday Law

We believe that this easy-readingbooklet is by far the most powerfuland complete presentation on theSabbath issue to date.

The information presented in thisbook helps to open our eyes to thespiritual dangers that exist in certainmethods of health care. The authoruses three guidelines to show thecontrast between truth and error—theBible, the Spirit of Prophecy, andnatural law. These guidelines exposemany of the dangers in health careand are a safeguard against thedeceptions of Satan. The facts pre-sented point directly to our highcalling—the medical missionary work.The Biblical evidence has power toawaken the determined at heart tounderstanding and to their duty.
