The Desire of Ages

About this book

Ellen G. White's devotional narrative presents the life of Jesus from Bethlehem to Calvary, retelling the Gospel story in continuous, reflective prose. It dwells on Christ's compassion, teachings, miracles, suffering, and sacrifice, inviting the reader to know him personally rather than merely study events. First published in 1898, it is the centerpiece of White's Conflict of Ages series.
