ONLY 2 LEFT
"Hariva!" she screamed. There was a loud splash, then silence...
That was the last Haru ever heard from his mother. Unable to cope with his loss, Haru's father left him with relatives, returning years later to prepare Haru to become the next chief and initiate him into the world of Puri Puri magic. But Haru wanted to go to school, determined to learn how to make sense of the strange marks the other boys scratched in the dirt. Haru learnt to read and write, but most importantly, he discovered the God who created the world - a God stronger than puri puri, stronger than the fiercest cannibals, a God he would serve for the rest of his life.
This is the true story of Haru Hariva, who pioneered God's message, bringing the light of Jesus and His love to many remote villages in Papua New Guinea. Facing challenges and dangers, he witnessed miracles as God made hidden crocodiles visible, sent His angel to prepare the hearts of remote villagers, and fulfilled His promise that "when you pass through the waters, I will be with you: and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you" (Isaiah 43:2)
Satan emerged the winner in the Garden of Eden—or so he thought. He had succeeded in tempting a third of the angels in heaven to become enemies of God. Now he had led the first humans to disobey God. He was on a roll. From that point on, pain, suffering and death would fill this world. But it would not always be so. A Redeemer would take on Himself the penalty we humans deserve. God, Himself, would become “one of us” but without sin. Jesus would pay your penalty and mine so that we could inherit eternal life in His kingdom. A Redeemer would come! The plan had been in place before the creation of Earth. Now it was time to begin to implement it. God recruited some imperfect, yet teachable, followers to spread the news: Noah, Enoch, Abraham, Moses, David and others. From the very first day sin entered our world God’s love and grace fought against it. What Satan thought of as a victory was really a defeat. The first day of sin on earth marked the beginning of the end for Satan and sin. The Beginning of the End is an adaptation of Patriarchs and Prophets. It is the first volume in a five-book series approved by the White Estate that will bring the clear messages of the Conflict of the Ages set to a new generation of readers. Biblical texts unless otherwise noted are taken from the New King James Version. Share the great truths of the original volumes in a more accessible format for twenty-first-century readers.

Jesus is both human and God. As the Son of Man, He gave us an example of how to live on this earth. As the Son of God He saves us from our sins so that we might live with Him in eternity. No one has had more impact on Earth than Jesus. Today, He calls to us to believe in Him and to follow Him, just as He did his first disciples. Come meet the Humble Hero, Jesus Christ, who grew up on this earth in human form. He is God and He is your Friend. He left heaven for you. He died for you. He rose again for you, and will come in the clouds of heaven for you. He alone can satisfy the deepest longing of your heart.

The fourth volume of the condensed and adapted Conflict of the Ages series, The Acts of the Apostles, will help familiarize a whole new generation of readers with these classic books. After Jesus was victorious over Satan and returned to heaven, the enemy turned his attention to Jesus’ church on earth. Here are thrilling stories of fierce persecutions and unswerving loyalty to God. Peter, Paul, James, John, Luke, Barnabas, Stephen, Mark, and the other early apostles carried the wonderful news of the gospel to all of the then-known world. Unwilling to surrender their faith, many gave their lives. That story is still continuing. Christ’s church today is carrying forward the same work and has the same promise of divine guidance and power.
