The Story of Seventh-day Adventists. For many years, Tell It to the World has served as a source of; stories, historical information, and inspiration to Seventh-day Adventists.; This popular history of the Great Second Advent Movement has now been revised and updated, but it; still focuses on the people and events that led to the development of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.; Like any good storybook, once you start Tell It to the World, you'll have a hard time putting it down.; Author C. Mervyn Maxwell brings the tradition of the storyteller (he's a son of "Uncle Arthur"), and the; precision of a trained historian, to the task of explaining how a tiny group of sincere believers could; found a movement that now counts millions of members worldwide. As you read this book, you'll find; yourself moved, encouraged, and inspired. Seeing how God has led in the past will renew your faith in; His plans for your future and for the future of this church. - "No, God.
