From the inspired pen of Ellen G. White flowed a steady stream of messages of encouragement; counsel; instruction; and enlightenment. The gems in this collection were gleaned from her books; periodical articles; and unpublished letters and manuscripts. Each reading holds forth the highest possible standard of spiritual attainment; offering to every son and daughter of God "an outlay of heaven's treasures; an excellency of power" that will place the redeemed "higher than the angels who had not fallen." In every paragraph is heard the Spirit's call to lift the cross--and "those who lift the cross will find that . . . the cross lifts them."
