followed his reign; The mighty and fearless Elijah; Elisha, the prophet
of peace and healing; Ahaz, the fearful and wicked; Hezekiah, the
loyal and good-hearted; Daniel, the beloved of God; Jeremiah, the
prophet of sorrow; Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, prophets of the
restoration. Beyond them all rises in glory the coming King, the Lamb
of God, the only-begotten Son, in whom the typical sacrifices find
fulfillment.
Patriarchs and Prophets, the first book of the series, spans world
history from creation to the close of David’s reign; The Desire of Ages,
the third book, treats of the life and ministry of Christ; this volume,
Prophets and Kings fits between these two. The Acts of the Apostles,
The fourth, portrays the history of the early Christian church, and The
Great Controversy, the last in the series, traces the conflict story to our
day and then on in a prophetic vein to the earth made new.
The Story of Prophets and Kings, having enjoyed a circulation
which has demanded many printings since its first appearance, is now
presented to the public in attractive form with type reset, but with
no change of text or pagination. This new edition is embellished
with attractive illustrations, many of them original paintings designed
especially for this work.
That this volume with its rich lessons of faith in God and His Son,
the Saviour of the world, and the stories of His providence in the lives
of great men and women of Old Testament times may deepen the
religious experience and enlighten the minds of all who read its pages
is the sincere wish of the Publishers and
The Board of Trustees of the Ellen G. White Publications.
