Outrider of the Apocalypse / Anderson, Godfrey Tryggve / (PB/1972-1972/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is clean and gently used with minimal wear on cover/corners.*

What would inspire a vigorous seaman at the prime of his life to abandon a prosperous career as a merchant-ship captain and to spend the rest of his life roaming the land with a message for anyone who would listen?

Whatever it was, it had to be big. And it was. For him a fresh interpretation of John's Revelation of Jesus Christ and the ancient book of Daniel had torn the cover off events long hidden. Events that were to happen at the end of the world as mankind knows it. And Joseph Bates couldn't keep it to himself.

This book presents the facts about the spiritually invigorating life of this founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in full historical context, carefully researched and precisely documented.
