The Only Hope "comes to us as fellow believers with a tremendous challenge. It contains an excellent condensation of the story of the 1888 message of righteousness by faith and the appeal of the True Witness to the church of Laodicea in the latter days. It is, in brief, the spiritual history of the remnant church concentrated in fifteen short chapters. It describes days of encouragement, of standstill, of advance, of retreat, of failures, and of darkness. But the last chapter describes the final and certain glorious victory of the people of God." - H.M.S. Richards, Sr.
