Struggling to pluck the sin from your life but having trouble conquering your past? Biblical counseling is a resource for Christians who need help locating the sin in their lives and cutting it out. David and Beverly Sedlacek offer the truths they have learned through years of clinical practice in this comprehensive guide to Cleansing the Sanctuary of the Heart. This book is a distillation of the biblical principles the Sedlaceks have used to heal others who have sought counseling for addictions, mental and emotional disorders, relationship problems, and abuse. "Having personally experienced this cleansing of the heart, I recommend highly a heartfelt immersion in this book by the Sedlaceks...As I wallowed near the end of a self-destructive path, the Sedlaceks poured into my heart the transforming message of a loving God who can indeed cleanse one's heart; of a God who can mend torn relationships; of a God who can extinguish the flames of hurt, bitterness, and resentment with Living Water...My prayer for every reader would be to experience the peace I have found." --Fred A. Moore, Public Relations and Communications Expert

"My brethren, we have reached an awful era in the onward sweep of time. The greatest conflict of all is now breaking upon us. Instead of one of the antichrist religions to combat, the next is a confederation of them all." "The church of God is from above. It is the holy Jerusalem which ''came down from God out of heaven.'' Ages before it appeared upon earth, it was prepared in the plan of God, and hid in his infinite wisdom and knowledge. It cast its shadow upon earth in the form of the Jewish sanctuary. As there must be a substance to produce a shadow, the church already existed. But when the fullness of time came, it came down to earth. Its builder, head, door, foundation, and governor came from heaven. Its law, the truth, ''came by Jesus Christ.'' Its garments of salvation are from God. Its members are all born "from above." It is animated with "the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven." The conversation of all its members "is in heaven.'' Their names "are written in heaven." Their affections are "fixed on things above, not on things on the earth." This is the heavenly Jerusalem. Being a spiritual, divine, and heavenly church, denominated the kingdom of heaven, its affinities and attractions are all heavenward. "Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth.'' The mind and heart of the Christian is naturally reaching out into the eternal world. Earth loses its attraction. Its jewels and diamonds, its silver and gold, lose their luster and brilliancy, as the Christian, with an eye of faith sees his riches in heaven. He beholds the sparkling diamonds, the unsearchable riches of Christ that await him over there." CONTENTS PREFACE.

In "THE CROSS AND ITS SHADOW," the type and the antitype are placed side by side, with the hope that the reader may thus become better acquainted with the Saviour. It is not the intention of the author of this work to attack any error that may have been taught in regard to the service of the sanctuary, or to arouse any controversy, but simply to present the truth in its clearness. This is a reprint of an important early Advent book, which explains the sanctuary and its services. - SECTION I. THE SANCTUARY. SECTION II. FURNITURE OF THE SANCTUARY. SECTION III. THE PRIESTHOOD.

Some dreams or visions, if they are symbolic in nature, require an interpretation. This unique book "Daniel: Understanding the Dreams and Visions" unlocks and explains the structure and mysteries of the prophecies in the book of Daniel. It reveals the keys that the prophet Daniel has presented to unlock the prophecies of the Bible. "Daniel" expounds the prophecies in four distinct visions of how God has revealed the rise and fall of the seven earthly kingdoms/empires many centuries in advance. The truths of these prophecies have withstood every attack from every scholar and skeptic. According to the Talmud and the Hebrew Scriptures, Daniel received and interpreted dreams and visions, similar to many other Jewish prophets. This new book brings much needed clarity to the text of the prophecies of Daniel through the definitions of codewords, maps, pictures, illustrations, charts, tables and secular historical records. The Author adds comments only where necessary. An understanding of the Old Testament book of Daniel will set the foundation for a better understanding the prophecies in the book of Revelation.In this book the author adopts a detailed but simple approach to an intricate and complex web of prophetic truths of coming world events. The object of this book is to clarify the symbolisms and cryptic codes in the ancient yet futuristic prophecies of Daniel. For as Jesus said, "And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe."JOHN 14:29. "Take heed that no man deceive you." Matt. 24:4.

This book reveals whether there is a temple in heaven and what its purpose is. Christ is revealed as our High Priest who intercedes for us. This is the heart of the Seventh-day Adventist message. Issues addressed include: Can we be sure there is a real temple in heaven? What is the purpose of this temple? When does the judgement start? Do we need to keep the Ten Commandments? Should we observe a literal Sabbath? And much more. The heavenly sanctuary reveals Jesus who ever intercedes for us (Hebrews 7:25). ""An extremely thorough, engaging presentation of the framework of Seventh-day Adventist beliefs."" - Kirkus Review
