IN YOUR Treasure Chest you will discover a valuable collection of materials that will give new meaning to the Spirit of Prophecy and help you to better evaluate the place of this gift in the remnant church.
There are eleven divisions to this book, into which the various types of data and facts have been arranged. The limits of the lesson space and the large amount of helpful material available led the compilers of the Prophetic Guidance Correspondence Course to employ this omnibus type of textbook for the student's use and future reference. The stories of Providence recorded here, the extremely valuable Ellen G. White statements and the rare source materials included, along with the discussion: of prophetic inspiration, will prove to be an enormous help to the student in grasping the import of the lessons. We trust that your Treasure Chest will become a working part of your personal library.
The arrangement of the articles into division: has given a certain helpful organization to this: volume and thus made it more useful to the student; however, the articles do not appear it the sequence to which they have been referred in the lessons. Each Treasure Chest item may be associated with the corresponding lesson and section simply by noting the two numbers it parentheses after each title; for example "Glimpses of Mrs. White at Home (15:1)' means that the point in the lessons at which we touched upon this subject was Lesson 15 Section 1.
The lessons were written and the material in the Treasure Chest was assembled in the office of the White Publications at the General Conference.
Many authors have been drawn upon for the items that comprise this reference work. Their names appear in connection with their respective articles. Some of the materials have been prepared by Arthur L. White, secretary of the Ellen G. White Estate, and some by D. A. Delafield, associate secretary. The authorship of these articles is indicated by initials at the close of the articles.
Many illustrations picturing the pioneers, the documents, and the places of interest have been included in this Treasure Chest. These have been drawn from the rich files of the Review and Herald Publishing Association and the White Estate. The captions have been written in such a manner as to impart helpful information concerning the early history of the church, thus making this textbook doubly interesting and valuable.
For years the ministers, teachers, physicians, and church officers of the denomination, as well as Sabbath school teachers and many, many others, have expressed a desire for just such information as is now made available in these lessons and in this Treasure Chest. Here it is now, in your possession, as another contribution of the Seventh-day Adventist movement to the building of confidence and assurance in God's leadership through the Spirit of Prophecy and the ministry of Mrs. Ellen G. White.

Great resource for everyone wanting to learn about the Spirit of Prophecy. This book helped me to understand the time periods of Ellen G. White writings. It helps to understand the works in comparison to each other. I recommend this book because of it's style of study. It is more of a classroom study.
