Beginning with the glory days of Israel, "Prophets and Kings" recounts the stories of great men and women of the Bible who lived between King Solomon's reign and the First Advent of Christ. The stories of Elijah, Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hezekiah, the captivity of Israel, and others are all found in this wonderful book. Within its pages, the history of a chosen but vacillating people dramatically illustrates the raging struggle between God and Satan for the hearts of His children. The outline of the history of Israel as provided in this book gives a better understanding of the God of the Old Testament. Rather than being arbitrary (as Satan has accused Him of), God is revealed as the God of freedom and love.

Prophets and Kings is the second in a series of five outstanding volumbes spanning sacred history. It was the last book in the "Conflict of the Ages" series to be written. It was also that last of many rich works to come from the gifted pen of Ellen G. White.
