Messiah
Hardcover edition of Messiah
There is nothing more powerful that the story of Jesus. It can reach across time and change hearts today as people come in contact with the love that is demonstrated there. It was my great privilege to adapt Ellen White’s The Desire of Ages, written more than 100 years ago, into words that resonate with us in the 21st century.
When I stop and think about it, I’m amazed at having done this work. It needed to be done—those precious truths were in danger of being lost completely in the next generation. When Ellen White wrote Desire of Ages, it was to help people understand the Bible. Today, we have versions of the Bible that are much more understandable than Desire of Ages. I just wanted to make Messiah do what Desire of Ages did when it was written—help people see Jesus.
The response to Messiah has been overwhelming. From grade school kids to retirees, people have told me how much it means to them to be able to read and appreciate the story of Jesus.
