The editors of a major North American Seventh-day Adventist Publishing House asked the author to write the manuscript for this book. Their plan was to publish it in time for the Centennial camp-meeting season and Centennial celebration in Minneapolis.
In due course their reading committee and the editors enthusiastically accepted the manuscript, proceeding to process it for publication. Due to circumstances beyond their control, they were forced to drop its publication. The General Conference were pursuing a different philosophy.
Glad Tidings Publishers present this book to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. An edited version {Powerful Good News) minus references to Ellen White, Jones, and Waggoner, is also presented to the world. There are ordained ministers and loyal lay members who believe that "the most precious message" which the Lord sent to the Seventh-day Adventist Church over a century ago needs to be widely understood today in its authentic form.
They also look forward to the time when this church shall be united in a joyful acceptance of the message which Ellen White endorsed so highly. It will yet lighten the earth with the glory of a much more abounding grace that is no longer frustrated or put "on trial" within the remnant church itself. A growing phenomenal worldwide interest in that message indicates that the Holy Spirit is renewing the opportunities that were ours over a century ago.
