    The Making of “Steps to Christ”

    Usually printed in the 128-page edition, this 1892 volume was first produced by a nondenominational publisher 7Fleming H. Revell and Company, Chicago, Ill. The original edition contained only 12 chapters and 153 pages. See p. 445. with the hope that it could be widely sold in America’s bookstores. It was an instant success. Within six weeks of its initial printing, a third reprint had been issued, and within the first year, seven reprints. 8Tim Poirier, “A Century of Steps,” Adventist Review, May 14, 1992. Soon after the initial printing, the publisher printed the following advertisement: “It is not often that a publisher has the opportunity of announcing a third edition of a new work within six weeks of the first issue. This, however, is the encouraging fact in connection with Mrs. E. G. White’s eminently helpful and practical work, Steps to Christ. If you will read this work, it will ensure your becoming deeply interested in extending its circulation. Steps to Christ is a work to guide the inquirer, to inspire the young Christian, and to comfort and encourage the mature believer. The book is unique in its helpfulness.” 9Bio., vol. 4, p. 36.MOL 444.7

    Today, this religious classic has been published in more than 135 languages and circulated worldwide by the tens of millions.MOL 444.8
