LITERATURE








The books, tracts and study guides which are listed on this page are all available from Restoration Ministries. Some of these materials are available for downloading in PDF or html format. The others will be available soon. In the meantime, if you see an item listed which is not available for downloading, please call or write to us and we will be happy to send it to you.

Be sure to look at the books by A.T. Jones which we have recently added to the site (June 10, 2007). These books are of especial interest to those who wish to have a true biblical perspective on questions such as, what is the church? and, what are the true principles on which Christian church organization should be based.

Many Seventh-day Adventists have wondered about the circumstances and reasons under which A.T. Jones was separated from the SDA denomination. For a report of what really happened, right from "the horses mouth," be sure to read the booklets entitled, "Some History, Experience and Facts," and, "An Appeal for Evangelical Christianity."

There is also a list of articles, available for online reading, which, at the moment, deal with the following subjects:

Righteousness by faith
The Godhead
Does God Kill?
The Feast Days

What did the Pioneers believe?

This 48 page book published by Smyrna Gospel Ministries is a compilation of quotes from Adventist Pioneers which reflect the unanimous position of the early Adventist Church concerning the doctrine of the Trinity. Many say that only some of the Adventist Pioneers didn't believe in the Trinity, when in reality none of the Adventist Pioneers believed in the doctrine of the Trinity. This documentation speaks loudly and clearly. This book was compiled by Lynnford Beachy.

The Mystery Demystified

The Mystery Demystified examines the doctrine of God. Popular Christianity has declared that God is a Trinity, but is this what the Bible teaches? The difficulties in understanding this Trinity doctrine are explained away by declaring that the doctrine is a "mystery." This book takes an insightful look at the issue and presents the true biblical perspective presenting compelling evidence which makes it clear that the identity of God is not a "mystery."

The Broken Curse

Some of the greatest aspects of the plan of salvation are shrouded in mystery for many people. Very few understand why it was necessary for Jesus to die, in order for salvation to come to humanity. The popular belief is that God required a sacrifice before He could forgive. This unworthy concept has become deeply imbedded into Christian thinking and theology and has been a reason why many have turned from Christianity. This book, "The Broken Curse," provides deep insight into the question of why Jesus really had to die and what was accomplished when He died. After reading this book, your understanding of the wonderful plan of salvation will be changed forever.

TRACTS

Welcome to the tract section of the Restoration Ministries web site. Jesus commands the believer to, “search the Scriptures.” Paul says “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” We pray that the following truth-filled tracts will help you in your study of God’s holy word.  Each study-tract is listed below with a brief explanation of its contents. You may choose a study from the drop-down menu below.

1888
The year 1888 is a year of significance for Seventh-day Adventists. In that year two young ministers brought a special message which contained the formula for revival to the church. Many believe that this message was never received by the SDA church. This tract looks briefly at the question of what was the essence of that message, and whether or not it was accepted by the church.

Are SDAs Advancing in The Light?
There is no doubt that several teachings of the Adventist church have been adjusted or changed since the beginning of the movement in 1844. Have these changes been positive or negative? This tract examines this question taking a close look at one doctrine in particular.

Demons in The Church
There is a supernatural force at work in many Christian Churches today. Christians have every right to expect God to work mightily among them. However, does this movement bear the hallmarks of a work of God. Is this the work of the holy spirit or are there "Demons in the church?"

How To Become a Christian
A brief outline of three basic and simple steps which a person needs to take in giving his life to Christ.

Is Jesus God’s Son?
Most Christians would answer yes to this question, but do they really mean what they say? This tract reveals that the majority of the Christian world do not really believe that Jesus is actually the Son of God!

Religious Deception
The greatest danger is that of religious deception. In this matter, everyone must be certain that he is taking the right path, for eternal life is involved. What is the greatest tool of religious deception today? This tract reveals the startling answer.

Satan’s Deadliest Lie
What lie of Satan strikes at the very heart of the Christian faith? What is this deadly lie which completely destroys the most vital elements of Christianity? This tract presents the answer in a simple way which is easy to understand.

The Sabbath
This is a reprint of the tract, "Why Not Talk To God About The Sabbath." It is basically a Bible study containing questions on the Sabbath with the answers being direct Bible quotes.

The Gospel of Love
A closer look at the gospel with an emphasis on how the love of God was displayed in the gift of His Son.

The Mark of The Beast
A brief, but thought-provoking look at the question of the Mark of the Beast, presenting evidences which reveal the beast’s identity and his mark.

The Truth About God
Is God a trinity? In spite of the fact that most of the Christian world believes that He is, this tract presents Scriptural evidence in defense of the position that He is not.

The Truth
"Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." What is this truth which sets men free? Can it be found within the walls of a denomination?

Who Died on Calvary?
The salvation of planet earth depends upon the identity of the One who was crucified on Calvary. Who was this person who claimed that He was the Son of God? Why is it important that we be certain of His identity?

Who Is The Antichrist?
Many people may be unhappy about the conclusions of this tract. However, the evidences presented are undeniable and clear, leaving little room for doubt as to the identity of the Antichrist.
