How will Satan try todeceive the whole world?

“Through the two great errors, the immortality of thesoul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring thepeople under his deceptions. While the former lays thefoundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond ofsympathy with Rome.” The Great Controversy, 588.

This statement inspired Jacob Teske to write two booksthat you can share with your friends and neighbors—orbulk mail to a Zip code of your choice:

The Lord’s Day and a National Sunday Law

We believe that this easy-readingbooklet is by far the most powerfuland complete presentation on theSabbath issue to date.

Immortality of the Soul and Spiritualism

While the belief in the immortality ofthe soul seems to be an innocentphilosophy, it lays the foundation ofa whole false religion—spiritualism.This 32-page booklet is just right tohand out—in quantity! It is also agood follow-up for communities thathave already received other material.
