God’s Love Triumphant at Last
The story of redemption, by the gifted author Ellen G. White, is
a book written for these times. As we approach the year 2000, world
events leave a question mark hanging on the horizon. Are we, a race
of tormented human beings, doomed to more trouble and worries,
or will the vision of tomorrow change for the better?
Some hope is held out by political and scientific leaders, but the
voices of most philosophers, statesmen, and clergymen seem pitched
in a minor key.
Is there hope and reassurance anywhere? Yes, for those who
refuse to despair and who reason that God must surely know about
the human predicament and will act dramatically to change the
course of events—for them there will be a way out. But the reader
of this volume will find more than human reasoning to support
the optimistic view. Faith will spring up in his heart as he reads
this enlightening and powerful account of mankind’s passionate
struggles against the dark powers of evil. The narrative is based
upon the scriptural theme of the age-long conflict between divine
and Satanic agencies for the control of man’s will and destiny. Here
is reviewed the story of man’s creation and his fall into sin, also
of the demonic control that has inspired wars and instigated crime
and universal suffering and tragedy.
At the heart of the book is the
redemption of man wrought by Christ on the cross
.
Each page in this narrative provides insights into history rarely

attempted by any author except by the writers of the Holy Scriptures.
The story of redemption is a true war story—the story of God and
demons and man in conflict. It culminates in a triumphant denoue-
ment, with peace and restoration for all who follow Jesus Christ, the
King of kings, who returns to earth triumphantly.
