This book deals with a most important subject that we all should befamiliar with. Preparing for Eternity–there is nothing more important!

Preparing for Eternity is a compilation of priceless passages from theSpirit of Prophecy. In these twenty-eight short chapters you will findencouragement, correction, instruction, reproof, caution, motivation,direction and challenge. You will find the inspired message of God’sattempt to bring sinful man back into harmony with his Creator andRedeemer. If you read this message and heed it, if you do in fact preparefor eternity, we are sure you will meet with us in the land of puredelight—where there will be no more tears, sorrow, pain, or death—tobe with Jesus forevermore!

We know of nothing closer to Elder Ron Spear’s heart than the vision ofa people prepared to meet their Lord. Read these words ofencouragement yourself—and then share them with someone else!

How Can I Prevent and Treat Disease?Here is how you can do it—and obey the eight laws of health.Hope International is pleased to share with you health publications especially focused on the prevention and treat-ment of disease. As we approach more difficult times ahead, it is most important that we understand how our bodieswork and how to keep them healthy. A proper knowledge of the eight laws of health will also help us distinguishGod’s true remedies from the many popular counterfeits that the world offers. Last, but not least, we need to be wellequipped to help our neighbors, whether they are looking for a better way of living, or they simply cannot afford orget access to traditional health care.
