Esta é a história de um audacioso resgate. A autora nos conta como Jesus Cristo, o Filho de Deus, arriscou tudo para vir à Terra reconquistar este planeta renegado. Ele não poderia ter feito isso se ficasse no conforto e segurança do Céu, onde era reverenciado. Foi preciso deixar tudo para trás, nascer neste mundo como um bebê, em uma família humilde, e viver como um de nós. O inimigo estava decidido a causar eterna separação entre Deus e o homem; mas ao assumir nossa natureza, Jesus Se uniu ao ser humano por um laço que nunca será desfeito. "Porque Deus tanto amou o mundo que deu o Seu Filho unigênito, para que todo o que nEle crer não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna" (Jo 3:16).
O Libertador é uma das melhores e mais completas biografias de Jesus. É um convite para acompanhar de perto a incrível trajetória do Salvador da humanidade, desde o nascimento até Sua triunfante apresentação diante do Pai. Prepare-se para ver o que está além da cortina e conhecer os surpreendentes detalhes do maior ato de amor do Universo, que ligou para sempre a Terra ao Céu.
In brief, Ellen Gould Harmon White was a woman of remarkable spiritual gifts who lived most of her life during the nineteenth century (1827-1915), yet through her writings she is still making a revolutionary impact on millions of people around the world. During her lifetime she wrote more than 5,000 periodical articles and 40 books; but today, including compilations from her 50,000 pages of manuscript, more than 100 titles are available in English. She is the most translated woman writer in the entire history of literature, and the most translated American author of either gender. Her writings cover a broad range of subjects, including religion, education, social relationships, evangelism, prophecy, publishing, nutrition, and management. Her life-changing masterpiece on successful Christian living, Steps to Christ, has been published in more than 140 languages. Seventh-day Adventists believe that Mrs. White was more than a gifted writer; they believe she was appointed by God as a special messenger to draw the world's attention to the Holy Scriptures and help prepare people for Christ's second advent. From the time she was 17 years old until she died 70 years later, God gave her approximately 2,000 visions and dreams. The visions varied in length from less than a minute to nearly four hours. The knowledge and counsel received through these revelations she wrote out to be shared with others. Thus her special writings are accepted by Seventh-day Adventists as inspired, and their exceptional quality is recognized even by casual readers. As stated in Seventh-day Adventists Believe ... , “The writings of Ellen White are not a substitute for Scripture. They cannot be placed on the same level. The Holy Scriptures stand alone, the unique standard by which her and all other writings must be judged and to which they must be subject” (Seventh-day Adventists Believe ... , Ministerial Association, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Washington D.C., 1988, p. 227). Yet, as Ellen White herself noted, “The fact that God has revealed His will to men through His Word, has not rendered needless the continued presence and guiding of the Holy Spirit. On the contrary, the Spirit was promised by our Saviour to open the Word to His servants, to illuminate and apply its teachings” (The Great Controversy, p. vii). The following is a more detailed account of the life and work of this remarkable woman who, meeting all the tests of a true prophet as set forth in the Holy Scriptures, helped found the Seventh-day Adventist church.
'Humble Hero' by Ellen Gould White is an amazing book in the Conflict Of The Ages series, which is an adaptation of 'The Desire Of Ages', written in modern language so that 21st century readers can understand it. Humble Hero is about the life of Jesus, and how the events of his life and ministry link in with bible prophecy and history, both ancient and modern.
Overall, a very good book that I recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about biblical history, or grow their relationship with Christ. This book would be good to read as a daily devotional.
Livro incrível que traz em detalhes a primeira passagem de Cristo por esta terra. Além disso, o livro também traz esperança da segunda vinda deste Cristo que é tão aguardado por todos nós. Ellen White foi uma pessoa inspiradora que em muito foi capaz de trazer uma maior luz aos escritos bíblicos. Essa nova linguagem é capaz de alcançar muitos que não teriam entendimento sobre os escritos originais. O resumo desse livro pode ser tido como uma palavra “gratidão”, pois ela é capaz de expressar o sentimento que há pelos feitos de Jesus em nosso favor. Livro excepcional, recomendo a leitura.
Linda a maneira como Jesus é apresentado. Ao contar suas histórias e sua caminhada na Terra Ellen White nos inspira a viver uma vida de louvor e adoração, é lindo.
