Love waits for you too. - This book has filled my life with love stories, at least two big ones. About 55 years ago at age 17, I fell in love with Jesus Christ. A dear church member gave me this book, THE DESIRE OF AGES. At first I was reluctant to read it, not trusting the credentials of the author. But then I said, "I'll read this book to test her out." In my high school literature classes, I read some of the great writers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries--Thomas Carlyle, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and others. They wrote well, although often it was a struggle to follow their involved style. Yet, I loved their essays, novels and poetry. How would Ellen G. White measure up, being from about the same time period? So I started reading the first chapter. And then I found myself reading it aloud in my bedroom. Oh, what an ecstatic experience, both spiritual and literary! "You mean to tell me," I asked, "this woman had to quit formal education at age 9 because of an accident?" She displays such depth with clarity and simplicity, no pretense or author showing off! To me much of this book was poetry in prose form. The very first sentence got me: "In the hearts of all mankind, of whatever race or station in life, there are inexpressible longings for something they do not now possess." In the next three months I read aloud to myself the entire book. How that deepened my love for my Saviour--the Word made flesh! And now--this book's beautiful words fleshing out the life of Jesus Christ! Now another love story. The following summer I attended a church retreat in North Dakota, I being from Saskatchewan, Canada. There I met the prettiest girl ever!--just arrived from the mission field with her folks. I thought she was at least 16. I fell in love with her. And she gave a talk (she was actually only 13 at the time) about her great-great-grandmother--Ellen G. White. Yes, the author of my favorite book on the life of Christ! Long story short. We married 7 years later. We have been married for 49 years and are still very much in love. And "in the bargain" I also got a most loving Christian family. Yes, the love of Christ brought me into His fold, and that fold includes my bride Martha, her loving famiy and so many loving fellow believers. In my research as a Christian writer, I've read dozens of books on the life of Christ. Some are topnotch. But my favorite remains "The Desire of Ages." As always I place the Bible above all books; I've read the New Testament over 75 times. Sure, one might have some theological interpretations different from what this book presents at times, but they are likely minor. Please, don't let these little differences stand in the way of your growing love for Jesus. Here's my favorite "poem" from this book: "Christ was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as He deserves. He was condemned for our sins, in which He had no share, that we might be justified by His righteousness, in which we had no share. He suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life which was His. 'With His stripes we are healed.'" (Page 25). Review: Great Study Guide to the Gospels! - The Desire of Ages will light up your love affair with Jesus. Each chapter references the recommended Bible chapters or verses to read first, then the author guides and explains and gives historical background to them. The author knows and understands the Bible! She heavily sprinkles relevant Bible versus throughout each chapter, providing cross references and illumination. Even though I grew up in a religious household and went through 12 years of religious schooling, I wandered away from God at the age of 18. Now, 40 years later, I felt a nudge to get to know Him again. I picked this book as my starting point. I found a 90-day reading challenge online, as an additional study guide using the Bible gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) and this book. The online study brought everything alive in a way I’ve never experienced before. If you are interested in the reading challenge, search for DAwithDA. That stands for Desire of Ages with David Asscherick. How had I never known how much Jesus desires a relationship with me? How much He longs to be part of my every moment? How his very character reflects the most tender love for me? I highly recommend this book as a companion guide to the Bible gospels! Is Jesus nudging you too? ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #98,796 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Seventh-Day Adventist Christianity (Books) #349 in Christology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,127 Reviews | ## Images ![The Desire of Ages - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711SJ3O0V7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book has filled my life with two big love stories!

Is Jesus nudging you too? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In depth and intimate and revealing *by G***E on June 23, 2020* In depth and intimate and revealing of the Lord Christ Jesus. A wonderful read that gave further insight into the gospels. Ive learned so much more that walks in hand with my own personal learnings from the Holy Spirit while reading the Holy Bible. This is a wonderful book to read along with the bible. This did not disappoint. It is long and took me a while to finish, reading in bits and pieces at times, but that only made it all the sweeter as something to look forward to when I was able to read it. The style of her writing was lovely and refreshing as well. I enjoyed the use of words not usually used these days in literature. I had no problem looking up an odd word here or there in the dictionary. I highly recommend this third volume of her book collection to anyone who enjoys supportive writings from fellow Christians on the Holy Bible. It's not a substitute for the word of God and the council of the Holy Spirit. It is a wonderful read after one has become familiar with the gospels for refreshing in depth inspiration on the subject of Our Lord Jesus and the happenings during the gospels --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/19349565-the-desire-of-ages](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/19349565-the-desire-of-ages) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
