The statutes given by God through Moses have always puzzled Bible students. To the casual reader, some of God’s statutes are beautiful, some of them are harsh and out of date, and some of them may even appear totally impractical in today’s world.

With the availability of the CD Rom to Ellen White’s writings, a new wave of interest is developing. Many serious Seventh-day Adventists are taking a second look.

In this book, each Ellen G. White quotation has been examined for context, accuracy of content, and location.

Three types of script are used throughout to make it easy for the reader to know whether the Bible is being quoted, or E.G. White is being quoted, or whether it is my own comments.

Most emphasis by underlining, brackets, and italicized words have been supplied by the computer.

I have decided on this subject because of questions asked and statements made to me by our own church members. As an evangelist, I can honestly say I have met people in almost every series of meetings over the past years that are quietly curious, and often serious, about the writings in Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

If there are things presented in this book that might make one’s life happier and more like that of Jesus, then the study is worthwhile.

Sincerely,
   Elder J. L. VanDenburgh
