The first and second advents of the Savior each has had its own special prophet to prepare the way of the Lord. This book highlights those two men and their crucial work. It recounts predictions about John the Baptist, named by the Savior as one of the greatest prophets. The book defines John's preparatory work - his preaching of salvation, his message of repentance and baptism, his raising of disciples for Jesus, his baptism of the Master, and his humble, self-effacing attitude epitomized by his words "He must increase, but I must decrease."
