It's Ok Not to be a Seventh-Day Adventist

This book candidly examines Seventh-day Adventist history and doctrines. Beginning with self-appointed prophet William Miller who convinced over 50,000 New Englanders that in1844 Christ would come again in fiery judgment. Then the birth of Adventism as those who explained that Miller had misunderstood the prophecy and judgement had begun not on earth but in heaven. The book explores SDA prophetess, Ellen White whose “visions” urge their members to proclaim that in end-times all Christians worshipping on the first day of the week will receive the Mark of the Beast, then hunt down and torture Adventists. The book thoroughly documents the history of Sunday church services to disabuse member’s belief that those who worship on Sunday are disobeying the fourth commandment. Written to lift the wounded Adventist’s eyes to Christ for healing; however pastors, theologians, those with Adventist family, neighbors, colleagues and friends will find this book a treasure in understanding Adventism.

5All in one  Oct 07, 2009
I just finished reading the book and it's simply great. I'm a former Adventist and all the facts in this book I already knew from reading hundreds of books and 3 years researching, but here you have everything in one. A big time saver. Thanks Teresa.
My prayer is that this book will be an eye opening for many yet to come. May the Holy Spirit move minds and hearts straight to Jesus Grace and the Gospel.

5Well documented and written in love  Sep 28, 2009
Incredible information - thank you for sharing your journey and confirming mine!
I cried buckets when I read "The Cross Fulfills" on pages 156-158 - so touching and true.
Even though I was 6th generation SDA I never had a salvation story until six months ago - now as a New Covenant Christian I do!!!
If you're questioning Adventism this book gives the answers in a gentle but true way. It is well documented and written in love, deep and yet easy to understand.

5Recommended for honest seekers of Biblical truth  Aug 09, 2009
This is an important resource for those who have the courage and objectivity to honestly evaluate the official doctrines of Seventh-day Adventists in relation to the New Testament and 2000 years of Christian History.

The authors have done thorough historical research, and document it well throughout the book. Their tone is courteous and compassionate, but they are also direct in challenging the falsehoods in the key doctrines of Adventism.

"True believers" in Adventism may defensively dismiss this work as lying and mean-spirited. However, as a former SDA who belonged to that denomination for more than 30 years, and was educated in its academic institutions from high school through college and seminary, I strongly recommend it as a valuable study for those who are seeking clarity and truth in the midst of the religious distortions and confusion of Seventh-day Adventism.

5Great Research  Aug 07, 2009
The research in this book has been careful and detailed. It is important for those examining Adventism to see the whole picture. Unfortunately, most of those raised in the SDA system don't have any idea was really happening in those days. The church has not been forthcoming with the "rest of the story." The Beems have taken on a difficult task, exposing the real issues in Adventism, while compassionately reaching out to their friends and family still in the system. Some will find the research threatening to their old ideas. I pray each reader will study this book with a prayerful heart and a mind open to the Spirit's leading.

4Blessed Assurance  Aug 07, 2009
The Seventh Day Adventist Church would have me believe that my salvation is based, at least in part, on my membership within their denomination. This book offered me assurance that it is OK not to be SDA. The authors were thorough in documenting their facts and sources pertinent to SDA Church history. They effectively demonstrated how particular Biblical scriptures have been uniquely explained by SDA doctrine, much of which has been based on writings from the SDA Church's prophet Ellen G. White, which leads to a faith based on salvation by works. The authors encourage their readers to base their faith on Christ and scripture alone. For those people considering their relationship with the Seventh Day Adventist faith, either to become a member or to terminate one's membership, I highly recommend this book.
