"You will see your Lord a-coming in a few more days...Hear the band of music which is sounding thro' the air."They look out at us from their earnest faces, still and sober for the photographer, above stiff collars and plain clothing. But who were they really, these strong-minded Adventist pioneers?James White's transportation on his first preaching tour was a borrowed horse. Neither he--nor the horse--would ever be the same again. Noted surgeon Amos Twitchell amputated 12-year-old Uriah Smith's leg in a 20-minute amputation performed on the Smiths' kitchen table--with no anesthetic. Joseph Bates was almost ridden out on a rail during one of his preaching tours.And who was the object of Annie Smith's unrequited love? "My lot has been to learn / Of friendship false, that bright will burn / When fortune spreads her wing of light, / but fades away when cometh night."Often hungry and usually penniless, they argued passionately and worked tirelessly, hammering out their beliefs on the anvil of the Scriptures as the "only rule of faith and practice," following it intelligently and willingly.None of them were perfect--but all of them did their best, by God's grace, to spread the message of Jesus' soon return and the good news of the seventh-day Sabbath. These are their stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2022

Great read, showing that Adventist Pioneers were also flesh and blood, which I found to be touching, and encouraging, at the same time.

I had wanted to read the Book 2, but appears there is no Kindle version to it, and where I am ordering a hardcopy can be costly, this can be something publishers might consider doing, ie having it as an e-book, as they did for this version.

Yours in the Blessed Hope.

This is a very good book, narrating some of the experiences of people who believed the blessed message of the return of Jesus Christ to this Earth, around 1844. Although having to go through the great disappointment, their lives are an inspiration for the christian adventist of today.
