Sometimes, a book's title speaks for itself. Borrowing from one of Jesus' most succinct and poignant parables, Lionel Jean-Jacques spreads his immeasurable exuberance in discovering and attaining the universe's greatest treasure, Jesus Christ and His gospel.Jean-Jacques opens the book with a personal start, sharing his ups and downs in taking Scripture and spiritual matters more seriously and ultimately approaching the decision to be born again. He incorporates notable Bible case studies to encourage readers to realize they are not alone in their struggles: Nicodemus was hesitant; Jonah was painfully stubborn.The author diversifies his talking points, eventually venturing into some critically unique elements of Seventh-day Adventism. Though it may seem like he strays from the title, he knits things together nicely. Understanding and accepting the Sabbath, the state of the dead, and embracing and participating in the three angels' messages are all part of selling everything one has to acquire the priceless Pearl. Preparing for the calamities and deceptions of the end times goes hand in hand with the yearning to spend eternity with our Lord and Savior.

Both parts of Uriah Smith's astounding commentary of the Book of Daniel, and its prophetic relation to the birth and life of Jesus Christ, are united in this edition.The Book of Daniel has aroused great interest for apparently predicting the arrival of Christ on Earth, together with aspects of his character and deeds. This fascinating relationship, whereby the Old Testament foresees the events of the New Testament, has intrigued Biblical scholars for centuries. Uriah Smith, a minister and educator as well as an enthusiastic studier of the Bible lore, embarked on a quest to commemorate-line-by-line, verse-by-verse-the entire Book of Daniel.The commentary of Uriah is informative, lengthy and detailed. He explains and discusses the meanings of the verses, annotating his thoughts with references to other parts of the Bible where necessary. This methodology is repeated in Part Two, whereby the author's focus is turned to the life of Jesus Christ as alluded to in the Book of Revelation-a comparison of the prophecies made by Daniel, and those which appear in the New Testament, is undertaken.Perhaps the most overarching theme in this work is the discussion of how God makes his intentions and will known to followers on Earth. Deciphering such a mystery is no easy feat, yet it is one which Uriah Smith attempts energetically, drawing upon his decades of ministerial experience with holy scripture.

Chasing Gratitude is a gritty, no-nonsense look at a man's self-destruction, redemption, and restitution. Divided into 30 portions, it is suitable for devotional reading or group study. For much of his early adult life, Douglas Boyer chased someone else's dream and ended up an addict and a prisoner. As he recognized what God had done for him and the divine purpose for his life, he left his former pursuit and began chasing gratitude. Through the medium of free verse, Douglas paints a picture of his former life, which was painful for him to live. He pours out his confession before GOD and man openly, remorsefully, and bravely, as one who has been a prisoner sitting in "darkness and the shadow of death" (Psalm 107:14). Addiction, as defined by Romans 7:14-25, is powerlessness! Unless you have experienced it, you cannot academically or intellectually understand it.Douglas assures those living the lifestyle of addiction, yet who desire redemption through Christ: You are not alone. He encourages the spouses and children of those living a lifestyle of addiction: Trust that GOD surely hears your prayers.~ Dr. Neville Patricq Butler, Doctor of Theology, UCLA; pastor, Narrow Gate Church, Charlotte, North Carolina; co-founder, Unshackled Substance and Alcohol Recovery Ministry; former, felon, gang member, and addict"...for those whose family deals with the horrors of addiction, it gives solace and hope.

In a conversation with his local pastor, Michael Karr was challenged to study the Scriptures to understand what "the moral law" includes. As he began his study, he encountered a description of the moral law in the writings of Ellen White that challenged his thinking. Here is what he read: In consequence of continual transgression, the moral law was repeated in awful grandeur from Sinai. Christ gave to Moses religious precepts which were to govern the everyday life. These statutes were explicitly given to guard the ten commandments. They were not shadowy types to pass away with the death of Christ. They were to be binding upon man in every age as long as time should last. These commands were enforced by the power of the moral law, and they clearly and definitely explained that law. (Review and Herald, May 6, 1875) This excerpt caught his attention that the statutes were given to explain the moral law. This insight led him into a five-year study of the subject. He invites you, the reader, to consider his findings and make up your mind about the evidence under the leading of God's Spirit. The author has masterfully taken Ellen G. White's writings and expounded upon Yahweh's Word, adding another powerful, compelling level to this book and helping the reader to understand His Truth in all its fullness!-Adam Lawrence "The Bible declares that the way to eternal life is narrow. Karr's exhaustive examination of this narrow way will be a blessing to anyone with courage enough to exercise their God-given faith to seek, find, and obey the absolute truth." -Marcus Dennis
