The Desire of Ages is the retelling of the life of Jesus Christ. It is not in chronological order, but it is an in-depth study of Christ's birth, ministry, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension. Jesus is a loving God who wants to lift up his children in His love. The purpose of this volume is to set forth Jesus as the One in whom every longing may be satisfied. . . . To state it in brief, Jesus Christ is revealed as the Fullness of the Godhead, the infinitely merciful Saviour of sinners, the Sun of Righteousness, the merciful High Priest, the Healer of all human maladies and diseases, the tender, compassionate Friend, the constant, ever-present and helpful Companion, the Prince of the House of David, the Shield of His people, the Coming King, the Everlasting Father, the culmination and fruition of the desires and hopes of all the ages. Second to the Bible, this book has touched my heart and increased my understanding of my Savior.
