This book sheds light on what has otherwise been a dark subject: that "judgment hour" is not Bad News, but Good News of greater significance than most of us have dreamed.

God's agenda is the proclamation of a message to turn the world upside down—"much more abounding grace," not much more a bounding terror. It transforms the final mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church into a message that will "lighten the earth with glory" and prepare multitudes worldwide for translation at the second coming of Jesus.

But why should such a grace-filled message be “on trial" forever a century within the Seventh-day Adventist Church? Why did Ellen White say that Heaven's last light "has been kept away" from both the church and the world?
