“The subject of the sanctuary . . . should be clearly understood by the people of God. . . . Otherwise, it will be impossible for them to exercise the faith which is essential at this time, or to occupy the position which God designs them to fill. . . . Every individual has a soul to save or to lose. . . . Each must meet the great Judge face to face. How important, then, that every mind contemplate often the solemn scene when the judgment shall sit and the books shall be opened. . . .

“The sanctuary in heaven is the very center of Christ’s work in behalf of men. It concerns every soul living upon the earth. . . . It is of the utmost importance that all should thoroughly investigate these subjects and be able to give an answer to everyone that asketh them a reason of the hope that is in them.”—The Great Controversy, pp. 488–489.

With this in mind, the author carefully crafted this workbook so a student of any age will find Jesus Christ—His character and His work for our salvation—in every aspect of the sanctuary layout, materials, building, furnishings, services, and its ministers. Every detail in this manual points us to Christ and what He has done and is doing for us.

Packed with information and activities, this series is excellent for both children and adults. Each detail of Type (earthly sanctuary) and Antitype (heavenly sanctuary) is presented side by side in an easy-to-understand format, with texts and references for verification and study. This Young People’s Sanctuary Series contains sections on the camp around the tabernacle, the courtyard, the offerings, the tent tabernacle, the holy days and the feast days. Each section includes a coloring book, 3-D cutouts, puzzles, quizzes, crossword and acrostic puzzles, and much more.
