Ex Seventh-Day Adventist here. I’ve never seen the church be particularly good at marketing. As long as I can remember, most of the few people we’d attract with our crazy long seminars would leave after a few months.

That said, my dad got into Adventism (and is still in it) because someone left one of these same books at a bus stop. He’s a fan of history and conspiracy books, and this book is a wild blend of the two.
