Advancing Light Through the Printed Word

The Universal Publishing Association is dedicated to the production and distribution of Present Truth literature in the interest of the Seventh-Day Adventist denomination.

We believe the printed word remains one of the most powerful instruments of truth. Our publications carry careful biblical scholarship, prophetic exposition, and devotional depth - literature that informs, challenges, and transforms.

Faithful to Scripture Every publication is grounded in a thorough study of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy writings.
Widely Accessible The majority of our titles are offered free of charge - truth is not for sale.
Present Truth Focus We publish the series of present truth messages that are especially relevant to God's people today.
"The truth for this time is precious, and those who have accepted it should be more and more impressed with the necessity of putting it before others." — Ellen G. White

Tract 1 cover

Tract 1 - Pre-Eleventh-Hour Extra

Ezekiel's vision by the river Chebar unites Heaven and Earth, showing the Majesty of the Universe upon a throne borne by four heavenly beings visiting earth. This booklet may be aptly termed "The Dardanelles of the Bible."

Tract 2 cover

Tract 2 - The Great Paradox of the Ages

One of the most remarkable pictorial prophecies in Sacred Writ comes through the prophet Zechariah - four horses and chariots emerging from between two brass mountains, depicting a soul-gripping revelation of momentous church history.

Tract 3 cover

Tract 3 - The Judgment and the Harvest

The investigative judgment is the crowning work of our salvation and the setting up of Christ's Kingdom - yet one of the least understood Bible subjects of the age. Explained here in the light of the prophets, the parables of Christ, and the ceremonial harvest rites.

Tract 3 Supplement cover

Supplement - The Harvest: Parabolical-Ceremonial

A supplemental study expanding the parabolical and ceremonial dimensions of the harvest as set forth in Tract No. 3, providing deeper exposition of the judgment harvest types.

Tract 4 cover

Tract 4 - The Latest News for Mother

Hosea chapters 1 and 2 depict the Old and New Testament church histories through one allegorical family - Hosea representing God, his wife Gomer the church, and their children church converts. In chapter two, the children plead with their estranged mother to return to God.

Tract 5 cover

Tract 5 - Final Warning

The seven trumpets of John's vision bring destruction upon those who reject God's truth after each sealing period, each trumpet sounding a warning in the proclamation of its message - a subject long barricaded in mysticism now made plain.

Tract 6 cover

Tract 6 - Why Perish?

Isaiah 7:21-22 and Zechariah 4 contain symbols of a Universal Dairy whose butter enables all who partake to refuse evil and choose good. Though there is a multitude to be fed, there is no need to fear a shortage of food.

Tract 7 cover

Tract 7 - The Great Controversy Over "The Shepherd's Rod"

"Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him?" Count the evidence on both sides before firing for or against. Read about the half-hearted efforts to investigate the Rod message, the unfair comparisons made of it, and the pseudo-refutation of its teachings.

Tract 8 cover

Tract 8 - Mount Sion at the Eleventh Hour

The 144,000 standing with the Lamb on Mount Sion (Rev. 14:1) are the eleventh-hour servants of Matt. 20:8 - the kingdom church of Isa. 2:2-3 at the one parabolical hour before the close of probation. Read how they preach the gospel and nations respond.

Tract 9 cover

Tract 9 - "Behold, I Make All Things New"

Named from Rev. 21:5, this booklet deals with events before and after the close of probation, the disintegration of the earth at the beginning of the millennium, and the devastating effects of sin upon our entire planetary system.

Tract 10 cover

Tract 10 - The Sign of Jonah

Was Jesus "three days and three nights" in the grave to fulfill the sign of Jonah - crucified on Friday, Thursday, or Wednesday? The heart of the earth has been erroneously interpreted to mean the grave. This booklet explains what it truly symbolizes and the time it applies to.

Tract 11 cover

Tract 11 - God's Titles Not Restricted to One Language

Did Bible translators change the Creator's original Hebrew names - Elohim, Jehovah, El - to names of Baal such as "God" and "Lord"? And if so, why do we call Him by the latter? These questions are addressed in a meaningful and searching way.

Tract 12 cover

Tract 12 - The World Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

The wise men of today can no more tell the future than the wise men of Daniel's time. The One Who foretold the rise and fall of Babylon alone knows what will be the outcome of the present "distress of nations" - and He unveils it here through the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation.

Tract 13 cover

Tract 13 - Christ's Greetings to You

For nineteen centuries Christmas has been acclaimed as one of God's good gifts - in the face of the widely known fact that it is not the birthday of Christ. This booklet unveils the truth about this matter and other related subjects.

Tract 14 cover

Tract 14 - War News Forecast

Since there was no official declaration to end World War II, is this war still on in a cold war state? Will there be a third World War? Who is Assyria? What is the latter-day application of the ancient confederacy of Isaiah 7? These questions and more are answered.

Tract 15 cover

Tract 15 - To the Seven Churches

The seven seals of Revelation 6-8 are inextricably bound with the judgment, beginning with Adam and broken open when the judgment was set up. This booklet explains the symbols of the judgment scene and the seals as a message to the seven churches.

Shepherd's Rod Pocket Edition cover
