This was an enjoyable, solidly Bible-based book to read and I can only imagine the author never envisioned his book would be more relevant 120 years past publication than it was in his time. It is humbling to the greatest extent to awaken to the reality that we have all been duped by the silliest and most inane theories and vain imaginations passed off as truths and unquestionable facts.

"What does it matter to us whether the Sun goes round the world, or the world goes round the Sun?.. It is a matter of FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE. …Say not,dear Christian Reader, that it matters little to you whether the Sun goes round the world, or the world goes round the Sun, because the principle is involved —whether God or Satan is to be believed.

…for your own sake, as well as for that of our beloved country, be bold and firm against error and evil of every kind."

This eye opening book is a true fact scientifically researched and based on personal testimony of the previous centuries when the earth being flat was a matter of fact scientifically and biblically. We have been deceived by godless so called "scientists" in the last century by Darwin and others into believing without any research on our part the lie of evolution and the globe shape of earth with the millions of galaxies and so on. Read for yourself and educate yourself. The only true source is the written word of Yah.
