I liked the idea of this book so I bought one several years ago. I started reading it so that I would know what it was like and could recommend it to others. But just as I was getting started reading it a friend told me she was having trouble reading the Desire of Ages. So I loaned her my new book.
Now we finally got a new copy-in fact, we got several-and my husband and I are reading it for evening worship each day.
So far I like it. It follows Ellen White's style, but it is modernized and somewhat simplified.
With so many people today that are so unfamiliar with the Bible, I think it is necesarry to reach them in an appropriate way that they can understand.

Dgrimm60,
Yes, we got the book at the ABC. We don't have a local ABC, so we ordered online.
By the way,I don't know if it was intentional, but you called me missionARYlady instead of missionlady. I LIKE IT.
I call myself Missionlady, because for many years I told the mission story to children in Sabbath School. But I really hope I am a missionary also. :]

I am so happy to hear that Messiah is blessing you. The story of Jesus has great power and Ellen White's insights are truly inspiring. But none that helps you if you can't get through the words. That's why the New Testament was written in "koine" Greek, the common tongue, the language of the people, instead of classic Greek. Language should never be a barrier to truth.

Hi dgrimm, I bought the book awhile back but have started a few times and for some reason never get to continue. But we are almost finished with another book at our worship time, and hoping to start this book. Have heard many good things about it.

If you're enjoying Messiah - you'll love Jerry's new book, Blessings - a modern-day paraphrase of Thoughts From the Mount of Blessings. It's one of my favorite books this year :)
