Summary: Amazing!
Review: At 20 years of age, and with no religious training, I went on a spiritual search. I went to several church's and asked questions and few satisfying answers were forthcoming. This book (The Divine Plan of The Ages) helped me to understand the Bible in a very reasonable, and logical, form that made wonderful sense and gave great, exciting hope. To me that says a lot and is rarely found in Biblical writings. It answered a lot of questions that I had about the "big picture" and the oft asked question, "what is the meaning of life?". What are we ALL learning here. It's a great Bible study!

Summary: The Divine Plan of the Ages
Review: The Divine Plan of the Ages is an eye-opening volume which details our heavenly Father's plan for all mankind. He proves both topically and dispensationally and by the liberal use of Scriptures that Jesus, a perfect human being, died on our behalf and atoned for the sins of Adam, the only other perfect man.
The author, Pastor Charles Taze Russell, emphasizes that those studying this volume and succeeding ones should check out each Scripture and prove what he has written as true, rather than just to accept his word for it.
We know that many now living and many who are in their graves have never heard of Jesus Christ, but the Pastor advises that all will know the name of Jesus. Every person who has ever lived will be able to live for eternity as long as they retrace their steps and make up for their sinful ways. Each person will have at least one hundred years for this, and more if they are making progress toward this end. Those who do not wish to give up their sinful ways will go into the second death--extinction, as though they never existed, not to the burning hell, the idea of which so many preachers have tormented their congregations through the ages.
Although many think of heaven as an ethereal cloud where they can play harps or sing in angelic choirs, the Pastor is more realistic and notes that all in their graves will come forth in an orderly fashion in due time and will be granted the opportunity to live forever on earth, thus fulfilling the prayer prayed by so many for so long, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
The author delineates a timeline in his second volume and continues his inspired work through six volumes. Please read and study this volume prior to reading the succeeding ones, as this one provides the foundation for the rest.
Pastor Russell was an ardent speaker who traveled across the ocean and was a prolific writer, with columns appearing in many newspapers throughout the world.
He makes sense of the Bible, defines many of its mysteries by going back to the original Greek to make sense of the writings and encourages each of us to follow Jesus and to walk in his footsteps.
I would encourage those who are serious about a study of the Bible to read this volume and to check out the Scriptures quoted to prove for themselves the fascinating truth about God's divine plan for all mankind.

Summary: A VERY REASONABLE AND SCRIPTURAL EXPLANATION OF THE BIBLE
Review: This book abolutely opened my eyes to the incredible Plan God has as revealed in the Bible! The author lays out beautifully how God has different periods of time which progress toward the blessing of all mankind. There are so many good people today who are not Christians, but the DIVINE PLAN explains everybody will actually have their first real opportunity to choose God when Satan is out of the way in God's Kingdom. Everybody is already praying for His will to be done "on earth as it is in heaven." But this book explains how that will work. And it explains how all the evil in the world is not because God doesn't have enough power or love to stop it. It gives scriptures for everything. It makes so much sense!

Summary: The True Gospel
Review: This book is the only one that accurately and harmoniously presents the truth of the Scriptures. I lives up to its title, "The Divine Plan of the Ages". It answers all reasonable questions on the Scriptures. A must have and a must read.It is truly a vindicatation of the character of God.

Summary: The Plan of God Revealed
Review: This book makes the Bible harmonious. It lays out the plan of God as shown in the Bible, and all of the author's information is supported by Scripture. The book gives the answers to many questions that people have asked over the years: Why are we here? Why is there evil in the world? What hope is there for mankind? This book (and its companion volumes) has been the most influential in my life. I encourage all who have not been satisfied by the answers (or lack thereof) given by others to these questions to read this book. You will not be sorry.

Summary: A source of hope for this fear-filled world
Review: This is a reprinting of a historical classic that was the third bestseller in the world in 1909. It unlocks the harmony of the Bible, revealing scriptural concepts clouded by the religious world today, for example: why God allows suffering; the future role of the Christian in God's kingdom; details about the physical and spiritual worlds; how the "Day of Judgment" will educate rather than alienate; a description of God's plan for peace on earth. Truly a source of hope for this fear-filled world.

Summary: Answers so many questions!
Review: This is an outstanding Bible study aid. The book explains so many questions that God fearing people have about who He is and what He is doing. The chapter entitled Ransom and Restitution documents the Bible texts that show the sacrificial death of Jesus was for all of mankind, not just for believers. It answers the question of how kind-hearted non-believers can eventually call upon the name of Jesus in the Kingdom restitution. The chapter on the Permission of Evil lays out the scriptural teaching that for a limited time God is permiting man to choose his own way. Man's bad choices have brought down great suffering on the human. But the experience will equip man to make the right choices when all mankind is brought back in the great resurrection judgment day in the Kingdom. I was thrilled to see a survey of Bible teaching that made so much sense and vindicated God from the many accusations made against Him through the ages. The book very solidly teaches that the Bible is the inspired word of God and texts are quoted copiously on its page. This is the kind of book you read with your Bible open to follow the topical studies that make up every chapter. I heartily recommend this book as one of the best ever written to illuminate the scriptures. It will leave you with a positive feeling about the future and transform your view of your fellowman.
