Sabbath in Christ— by Dale Ratzlaff, 442 pages, $14.95, ISBN 0-9627546-1-7. This is an easy to read, thorough, biblical study of the gospel, the old and new covenants, and the Sabbath.

The Cultic Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventists: An Evangelical Resource, An Appeal to SDA Leadership—by Dale Ratzlaff, 388 pages, $14.95, ISBN 0-9627546-9-2. This book reviews the early beginnings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It documents how Ellen White—the prophetess of the SDA church—gave a glowing, comprehensive endorsement of William Miller’s Bible study methods, his conclusions, and his message, and then lists Miller’s fifteen “biblical proofs” that Christ would return in 1843. It follows the flip-flop teachings of the “shut door” of mercy, listing facts unknown to many SDAs and evangelicals. It traces the development of the SDA doctrine of the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary and the investigative judgment—Adventism’s unique “contribution” (they say) to Christianity. It then contrasts this SDA doctrine with the biblical teaching of the judgment and the gospel.
Truth Led Me Out by Dale Ratzlaff, 152 pages, $10.00. ISBN 0-9747679-5-6. This is a gripping narrative life story of Ratzlaff’s journey from being a fourth generation Seventh-day Adventist to simply being “a Christian”. For the sake of history, Ratzlaff includes names, places, events and the information that caused him to leave Adventism. The reader is pulled into the story and must face the difficult decision: teach error with a promising future, or be cast out. For the sake of history a number of cartoons describing the ongoing crisis in Adventism are included.
