Haskell: Adventist Pioneer  Evangelist  Missionary  and Editor","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“The last tribute of his brethren will not be paid to the memory of Elder Haskell until the work is finished. His message of faith and trust in God and in the triumph of the work of God will live with us to the end.” —William A. Spicer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose words  written shortly after Stephen N. Haskell’s death seemed highly improbable when  at the age of 17 to honor the request of his dying employer  Haskell married Mary Howe—a woman 21 years his senior who was considered a hopeless invalid—a decision that might have destroyed his future. Yet he would go on to make substantial contributions to the Seventh-day Adventist Church  shaping its structure and outreach for more than half a century. Haskell was a self-made man in the truest sense of the word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCouched in the social  political  economic  and religious culture of the day  author Gerald Wheeler paints a picture of Haskell as a formidable force in the early Adventist Church. In early manhood  he recognized the call of God and he responded to that call with all his heart  particularly giving himself to the study of God’s Word. Through the years he grew with the Adventist movement serving as” preacher  organizer  executive  author  publisher  world traveler; but above all as a leader of the lay forces of the church in literature  correspondence  and personal missionary work.” Ultimately he led hundreds  if not thousands  to Jesus Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Haskell taught throughout his life  Adventism must never forget that the Word of God is central to its mission—and His kingdom is its goal. The Word must retain its primacy. Above any historical or doctrinal tradition  Scripture must always be first. If Haskell were alive today  that would still be his overriding theme. And it must remain the focus of the church he helped pioneer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41316686495795,"sku":"9780816361748","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0103\/8902\/8915\/files\/s.n._haskell_gerald_wheeler_i_cover.jpg?v=1774920584","url":"https:\/\/clovisabc.com\/products\/s-n-haskell-adventist-pioneer-evangelist-missionary-and-editor","provider":"ClovisABC.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
