“Worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” This command, part of the everlasting gospel message of Revelation 14:6-7, points to God’s power as revealed in the creation. This book (subtitled: “God’s Saving Power in the Things That Are Made”) delves into that topic, showing that the same power of God which is all around us every day, is available to work in us, to remove sin and keep us from sinning.
Waggoner wrote on the same topic many years prior to these studies, in a book called “The Gospel in Creation” (published in 1893). These presentations are more mature and developed than that earlier publication.
The articles were all taken from the 1898 Present Truth magazine, which Waggoner published in England. There are 27 studies on the main topic, but along with these were other studies included in the same issues of each magazine, which were related. I have included these 47 articles in a section called “Related Articles,” after the main theme (these are not shown in the Contents listing below, but are included in the Contents pages of the book itself). On top of that, there were also 27 Children’s articles that ran parallel to the main theme, and I have included these in a section titled, “For the Children.”
There are hyperlinks at the end of each article, referencing the “Related Articles,” and “Children’s Articles.” About 100 historic Bible images were added throughout. 567p

Please may you find a way of compressing the books to make them easier to share
It will mainly be the books with lots of pictures that will be larger. I insert the pictures at 300ppi, so they will look okay if someone prints them. If you want to reduce the size, then the images need to be reduced in quality. I recommend trying this online PDF compression tool:

Set it to 150ppi for the images. It will reduce the size to about 1/4 of the current size.
THANKS
What of those who will not be able easily to compress using the pdf tool? Think of how the bulkiness will limit the spread of the gospel in a generation where books are mostly shared online than printed? i recommend you have options for both high quality pdf for printing and low quality for ebooks.
The work is great and the laborers are few.
I could also add the ability to have HTML copies of the books, so they could be read directly online. I could also redo the website to be mobile-friendly (currently it is not). But it would be better to do eBooks (ePub) if people are going to read them on phones.
I once experimented with ePub, but to do a nice job, it requires another whole lot of work. So I have to limit myself to PDF’s for now. The current format, PDF with 300dpi images works well on computer and iPad (probably it works fine on better Android tablest also).
I need to press on with the work of getting the unpublished material ready. When that is all done, then I can think about other adjustments. That is, unless someone who has a burden for those adjustments, wants to join in with the work!
As well, people are always free to take the material and make their own website, offering whatever modifications and adjustments they want to implement, for their audience. I’ve never tried to lock up the material. I’d like to see many different sites, all catering to the needs of different classes.
