Helping Create a Divine Coincidence
An Amazing Fact: Legend says thatduring World War I, a British soldier named Paddy survived the unthinkable whenhis ship was torpedoed. Alone at sea, clinging to wreckage for days, he spotteda soggy book floating by—a Bible. He began reading it, later saying it gave himthe strength to survive. A coincidence? Or do some books show up exactly whenwe need them?
Garvinwasn’t planning to find God that night.
Hewas just browsing online, restless and curious. “Something” tugged at hisheart. He searched for Bible resources—and found Amazing Facts resources. Somoved by the messages, he wondered, “Will Pastor Doug ever be in my area?”What he saw next stunned him—I was speaking in a neighboring town that verynight!
Garvindrove two hours to hear me speak. Afterward, I recommended the book TheGreat Controversy. He went home and downloaded an audio copy. That samenight, a student named Amber knocked on his door selling Christian books. Garvindeclined at first, but Amber handed him a free book—The Great Controversy!
Garvinstood in stunned silence. That wasn’t chance. That was God working. And He usedyou to make it happen!
AnImportant Book for the End
Ibelieve The Great Controversy contains essential truth for these times. Ittraces the cosmic battle between good and evil—from the fall of Jerusalemthrough the rise of Christianity, the Dark Ages, and the Reformation into themodern era. It upholds religious freedom and warns of coming challenges ashumanity approaches the final crisis.
Iam so convinced that this book contains present truth for the last daysthat Amazing Facts has printed thousands of copies to share with others. Wegave it a unique title, The Fall & Rise of Jerusalem, which reallycatches the interest of Evangelicals and millions of others who are watching theongoing crises in the Middle East.
