“‘The Great Controversy’ should be very widely circulated. It contains the story of the past, the present, and the future. In its outline of the closing scenes of this earth’s history, it bears a powerful testimony in behalf of the truth. I am more anxious to see a wide circulation for this book than for any others I have written; for in The Great Controversy, the last message of warning to the world is given more distinctly than in any of my other books.” Publishing Ministry, p. 358

I am happy to see that the gospel is spreading its roots but I would like to know whether the great hope should replace the great controversy
Nothing can replace The Great Controversy. But materials like The Great Hope can supplement it as we take the Adventist message to all the world. Share all our literature like the leaves of autumn!
