on Earth. It is an unwelcome import  from another part of the universe.

Few people today realize that the evil all around us, is the visible evidence of a great war that has raged in the universe for thousands of years now. “Patriarchs and Prophets” is one of the only books available anywhere in print that can reveal with accuracy and authority just how and why this great war began and who is behind it.

“The Desire of Ages” ― a companion book to “Patriarchs and Prophets” ― describes the pivotal battle in the cosmic war ― and “The Great Controversy” pulls back the curtain on the future to show how it will finally end.

Start with this book ― then read the others. And remember ― even though what you are about to read may astonish you and seem incredible ― it is 100 percent nonfiction. Every word is true.

There probably isn’t anybody around who hasn’t wondered now and then where things came from. How did the universe begin? How did the world get started?

“Patriarchs and Prophets” is a book about the beginning of things. In fascinating, easy-to-read language, it describes exactly how the planet Earth ― and the people who live on it ― began.

And if you’ve ever been dismayed by all the evil in the world and wondered where it began, this book will tell you that too.

Evil, you will discover as you read these pages, didn’t even begin here
