Darkness Before Dawn. As the crises in the world become greater and more frequent, people are left with questions. Why do sin and suffering exist? What's still to come? How can we face the trials and catastrophes? And how can we be truly victorious in this life? The daily devotional texts in this book are drawn from Ellen White's book, The Great Controversy, and answer these questions, as well as giving guidance and insight into our world today and how we can show God's character through the miasma of the modern world.
