Chapter One: What is the Investigative Judgement?
Teachings about Daniel 8:14 are the pillars on which Seventh-day Adventism is built. Without this teaching there would have been no Adventist church.

Chapter Three: Isolation from the Body of Christ
One of the most lamentable consequences of Adventist teachings is the nearly total isolation of its members from the rest of the body of Christ.

Christopher's Story: My Journey Home
By the time I met our father he was in a nursing home and was not cognitively able to acknowledge my presence. And yet, for the first time in my life, I gazed into eyes that looked like my own and glimpsed where I had come from.

Patria's Story: God Is So Gracious
One day, tragedy struck and as my world spun out of control, and my heart was broken, I was also confronted with the reality that the religion I had believed to be The Truth, didn’t have what I needed in this time of deepest sorrow and need. Sadly, I had no idea that there was anything better.

Linda's Story: The Truth Set Me Free
I no longer have to match scripture to what I have been taught. I am a blood bought Christian and I believe in the Word of God. In John 8:31 & 32, Jesus says, “…If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and truth will set you free.” I praise God daily for He has set me free.

Karen's Story: My Steps Home
Royce and I would like to invite our family, friends and readers that remain in the Adventist religion to read Galatians and open their hearts and to understand that God changed the day of worship. In Hebrews 4:6, 7 the writer says, “Therefore, God again set a certain day, calling it Today.” Worshipping God is not about a day. It is about a person, Jesus Christ. I pray that God touches your heart through our stories and that you too shed the yoke of slavery and the worshi

Jenni's Story: Jesus Is My Sabbath
My family and I did eventually leave – but instead of ruining my life, it opened my heart to Jesus. He is now more important to me than a day could ever be. He is my Sabbath rest every day of my life. Oh, by the way, there is life after Adventism – full, happy, deep Christ-centered life.

Heidi's Story: Was Blind but Now I see
I was sure that my friend would "see the truth" in our studies and I would help convert him (he was Christian, mind you – just not an Adventist). I never imagined it would be the other way around!

Jennifer's Story: Me? Leave Adventism??
Honestly, I’m the last person I would have ever imagined leaving the Adventist Church. For most of my life, I truly felt so fortunate to be part of the “only true remnant church.” I understood, and really believed, the church’s unique doctrines.

Janine's Story: Freedom In Jesus
Although I have experienced such love, joy, and peace in my relationship with the Lord since leaving the SDA church I have to admit that initially, I found it extremely difficult to leave my Adventist friends behind. Adventism is an entire way of life where every aspect of daily living is somehow interconnected with church affiliation.

I am filled with the assurance that my sins were dealt with 2,000 years ago by the Scapegoat (Jesus) who bore them to the cross outside the camp.

Diana's Story: Blessed Assurance
Greater spiritual hunger has grown in my heart this past year than in the previous 40 put together. It all started one day, from a simple conversation with a stranger: “Let me ask you a question”, he said. “Why don’t Adventist’s drink coffee?” We were discussing the similarities between Adventism and Mormonism. As an Adventist, I was attempting to maximize the differences!

Derik's Story: The Sabbath Is Not the Main Point
Where are the Adventist preachers who will preach the gospel instead of the Sabbath? Where are the people who will lift up Jesus and His completed work on the cross instead of the Investigative Judgment? Where are the people of faith who will lay down their lives, not for a church or an organization or a project – but for Jesus Christ? Where is the selfless army that will storm the gates of hell to bring the lost to salvation, not a denomination?

Dana Kendall's Story: For the Gospel
Dear reader, I share these experiences in order to provide information about the SDA Church and the process of leaving it. Perhaps when God puts SDAs in the pathway of your life, you can minister to them in a more informed way, realizing that they are not just another denomination of people who worship on Saturday instead of Sunday. In reality, most are afraid to leave the church and frightened of death because they do not know how to fully rely on the grace of Christ for the

Christine's Story: Jesus Has the Greater Power
We continue to meet with some who have come out of Adventism for the purpose of Bible study, prayer, and encouragement. We have discovered that it is a long, hard road to deprogram from a group that has cultic characteristics.

Leigh Ann's Story: Uncovering My Heart
The veil of Adventism is thick like armor. It is heavy and cumbersome. It binds and restricts. But my Savior is careful to tenderly remove the veil from my heart, one layer at a time, until I am finally free. Thank you, Jesus.
