    “The Wise Shall Understand”: Daniel and Revelation

    From: $7.00

    By Tom Stapleton

    A verse-by-verse walk through Daniel and Revelation, in alignment with the Biblical Feasts. Tom Stapleton lays out the eight major prophetic events still to happen before the Second Coming.

    The final events of Daniel and Revelation are happening now. This book lays out, chapter by chapter, what these prophecies actually teach about the days ahead — not as history already fulfilled, but as warnings God gave us so we could prepare.

    Many people avoid Daniel and Revelation because they feel too frightening. The events that are coming on the world are serious. But it is the love of God that has made it necessary for Him to reveal the future to us, so that we can prepare for what is coming and take shelter before the storm.

    Tom Stapleton unfolds the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation straight from today’s headlines, in full alignment with God’s appointed festival calendar. Read in this light, the prophecies stop being abstract — they become a clear sequence of events you can recognize as they unfold.

  • A Better Understanding of The Character of God

    A Better Understanding of The Character of God

    From: $5.00

    By Tom Stapleton

    A pastoral, careful response to the teaching that God’s character is solely defined by love — and therefore that He has not and will not destroy. Tom Stapleton engages five interconnected false beliefs and shows where they go wrong.

    A teaching has been gaining ground in some Adventist circles: that God is love, and only love — and therefore that He has never destroyed and never will. Satan does the destroying; God simply withdraws His protection. Even more troubling, this teaching ultimately denies that Yeshua’s death was a substitutionary payment for sin.

    Tom Stapleton wrote this book in response. He sees the impulse behind the teaching — God is love — and he engages it with respect. But he also believes the teaching, followed to its conclusions, leads away from Scripture and away from the gospel itself.

    This book takes five interconnected beliefs at the heart of the teaching and examines each one against the Word. It uses the Bible as the primary authority, and engages Ellen White’s writings where the proponents of the teaching cite her — showing that her own writings, read in full context, support the historic understanding rather than the new one.

    If you’ve encountered this teaching, or you have a friend or family member who has, this book is a careful, gentle, scripturally rigorous response.

    What you’ll explore in this book

    • Why God’s character is revealed through all His doctrines, not solely through His love
    • The proper translation of “thou shalt not kill” — and what God’s law actually forbids
    • Whether Satan would destroy all life if given the opportunity
    • The seven angels of Revelation 15 and 16 — God’s holy angels, not Satan’s
    • The substitutionary nature of Yeshua’s death — and why this is the heart of the gospel
    • How Ellen White’s own writings, read in full context, support the historic understanding
    • Why a single doctrinal error often opens the door to greater error

  • Re-examining 1844: A Better Understanding

    Re-examining 1844: A Better Understanding

    From: $5.00

    By Tom and Judy Stapleton

    A clear-eyed re-examination of the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation — and the timeline that led to October 22, 1844.

    If the final prophecies leading to the Second Coming are still ahead of us, then we need to read Daniel and Revelation with fresh eyes — not as history already fulfilled, but as warnings still to come.

    This book examines, point by point, the timeline that led to the date of October 22, 1844. It tests the day-year principle, the connection between Daniel 8 and Daniel 9, the meaning of the daily and the abomination of desolation, and the historical waypoints used to anchor the 2300-day prophecy. Where the evidence holds, we say so. Where it doesn’t, we show why — and offer a better understanding rooted in the words of Yeshua, the framework of the Biblical Feasts, and what Daniel actually said about the time of the end.

    Re-Examining 1844 was written with Adventist readers in mind — but it speaks to anyone who wants to understand what Daniel and Revelation are really telling us about the days ahead.

    What you’ll explore in this book

    • Whether the day-year principle is biblically sound
    • Whether Daniel 7 is really a retelling of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue dream
    • The meaning of “2300 evenings and mornings”
    • Whether Daniel 8:14 begins where Daniel 9 begins
    • What the “taking away of the daily” really refers to
    • The historical waypoints behind 1844 — and what the evidence actually shows
    • A better understanding of Daniel’s end-time timelines, fulfilled through the Biblical Feasts
    • How the Seventh-day Adventist Church has handled this doctrine over time

  • Reclaiming God's Festivals

    Reclaiming God’s Festivals

    From: $5.00

    By Tom Stapleton

    An accessible introduction to the Biblical Feasts — what they are, why the early church kept them, why most Christians stopped, and what they reveal about God’s plan of salvation.

    The Biblical Feasts are not Jewish customs the church has outgrown. They are God’s own appointed times — His holy days, given to teach His holy ways.

    This book is for readers who are new to celebrating the Festivals, and want to understand them from Scripture. It walks through what the Festivals are, when God’s people first observed them, why most of the church stopped, and what we lose when we set them aside. Most importantly, it shows how the Festivals reveal God’s plan of salvation from beginning to end — a prophetic framework that becomes clear once you know how to read it.

    You don’t need to be a theologian to follow this book. It’s written for sincere Bible students who want to test what they’ve been taught against the Word.

    What you’ll explore in this book

    – What role God’s Word plays in shaping our faith
    – The seven Festivals of Leviticus 23 — what they are and how they were kept
    – When God’s people first began observing the Festivals
    – When and why most of the church stopped observing them
    – The Great Rift in church history that shifted the focus away from God’s calendar
    – What celebrating God’s Festivals looks like today
    – How the Festivals reveal the plan of salvation through to its close

    Two books on the Festivals — which one is for you?

    Tom has written two books on God’s Festivals, and they serve different audiences:

    • Reclaiming God’s Festivals (this book) is an introduction to the Festivals from Scripture alone, written for readers from any background who are new to the topic. If you don’t bring Adventist tradition with you and just want to understand what the Festivals are and why they matter, start there.
    • Restoration of God’s Festivals engages the Festivals question from within Seventh-day Adventist tradition — using Ellen White’s own words and Adventist scholarship to argue for restoration. If you’re an Adventist who’s been told the Festivals were “nailed to the cross,” this book engages those objections directly. [Learn more →](link to Restoration page)

  • Restoration of God's Festivals: An End Times Shadow Fulfillment

    Restoration of God’s Festivals: An End Times Shadow Fulfillment

    From: $5.00

    By Tom Stapleton

    A fresh look at the Biblical Feasts for Seventh-day Adventist readers — making the case from Scripture and from Ellen White’s own writings that God’s Festivals will be restored in the time of the end.

    This book is written primarily for Seventh-day Adventist readers who want to test the Festivals question from within their own tradition.

    Most discussions of the Biblical Feasts among Adventists are quickly closed by appealing to a handful of standard objections: that the Festivals were nailed to the cross, that Colossians 2:16 ends the matter, that Ellen White’s writings settle the question. Tom Stapleton’s argument is that these objections don’t stand up to careful examination — and that Ellen White herself, read in full context, anticipated the restoration of God’s Festivals in the time of the end.

    The central argument: if every divine institution is to be restored at the time of the end (Ellen White, Prophets and Kings, p. 678), and if the Festivals were divine institutions, and if they did not meet their fulfillment in the cross, and if they were changed at the time the Sabbath was changed by man — then we can come to no other conclusion than that the Festivals will be restored.

    This book makes that case point by point, engaging Scripture, Ellen White, contemporary Adventist scholarship, and the standard objections head-on.

    What you’ll explore in this book

    • The Bible’s foretelling of a restoration of God’s calendar in the last days
    • A careful examination of Colossians 2:14, 16, and 17 — the most-cited objection
    • The Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 — and what Paul did after it
    • Ellen White’s writings on new light, new truth, and “every divine institution”
    • Contemporary Adventist scholarship on the Festivals
    • Early Adventist insight on the Festivals
    • The difference between celebrating the holy days and celebrating the holidays
    • How the Festivals teach the plan of salvation in its fullness
