WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — In a mad scramble for votes, presidential candidates are courting crowds of every Christian denomination in order to woo their members. GOP national front runner Donald Trump has recently turned his attention to Seventh-day Adventists, telling an Adventist crowd at a religious liberty event in West Des Moines, Iowa that Steps to Christ was his third favorite book.
Although he made sure to clarify that the Bible was his favorite book and his own Art of the Deal was his second favorite, Trump told Adventists gathered in the Iowa-Missouri Conference offices that Ellen White’s Steps to Christ was “way up there too… a close third.”
Asked about his favorite passage or quote from Steps to Christ, Trump avoided specifics, choosing instead to say that “all of it was amazing.”
Trump added that Ellen G. White was a “terrific old lady who wrote a hell of a lot of books,” praising the Adventist co-founder for her work ethic. “She would have done great on The Apprentice.”

“Asked about his favorite passage or quote from Steps to Christ, Trump avoided specifics, choosing instead to say that ‘all of it was amazing.’” LOL!
It was safer that way, and his choice of profanity has a lot to be desired, when speaking of religion.
Super sweet
Steps to Christ actually is my favorite book, but I didn’t want to offend the Baptists or the publisher of my Art of the Deal, so I said it was third. My third favorite is actually How to Win Friends and Influence People, which I haven’t read either.
As I said in my speech, Ellen G. White was a terrific old lady who wrote a hell of a lot of books. And they were a lot better than mine, in spite of my honorary doctorate from Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University, which is not worth the paper it’s printed on.
I plan to actually read Steps to Christ for the first time while supervising the construction of the Great Wall of Mexico.
I’ll say anything to get elected. I’ll even say I’m a Republican!
hey trump
am patrick mugabo from Rwanda kigali
for sure we love you so much and continue to lead according to what God telling us
steps to christ is also my favorable book
The Donald is the best chameleon I’ve ever seen.
Now you know why my target audience is blue-collar workers with a high-school education. That’s why I wear a silly baseball cap in my campaign events.
Donaldel, how very superior of you.
The last time I visited West Des Moines, Iowa was in 1492 when Columbus invented America.
You ain’t seen nuttin’ yet. Just wait till my hip-hop commercial comes out next week. It’ll be sick, bruh. Way better than dat Ben Carson dude’s rap commercials.
Don’t blame me. It’s my speechwriters’ fault. Or at least that sounds like a good excuse. (I don’t actually have a speech written; I just get up there and let out a bunch of hot air.)
ooooooohhhh
my God feel so sorry and let them bleme according to their will
one there time coming of jesus just focus on him only
peaple will talk more as the some as God writing good behaviors of yours so

I was delighted to hear that Teddy Wilson is going to endorse me!
If I don’t win, I’ll still eat VegeBurgers and Fri-Chik. It’s just so finger-lickin’ good!
I hope he steps better with that book than he did when he stumbled over Two Corinthians at Liberty University. He clearly hasn’t yet been introduced to the Art of Heavenly War, aka, The Great Controversy. else he might have chosen it.
Hey bugs, that was on purpose. I was just trying to look like an “outsider” since everybody loves outsider candidates this year.
Hey, Donnie-You should be reading stuff from Dave Ramsey, Susan Orman or Jim Cramer. Cramer is best since you both love “mad money” I highly recommend any book by Robert Kiyosaki-“Rich Dad-Poor Dad”. Or is it “Rich Don-Richer Don”!!! Wooooooe iz me!!
Hey Richard, old pal, looking forward to seeing you at my next event in Iowa. (Be sure you don’t act up, or I’ll have security throw you out into the cold without a coat.) The Robert Kiyosaki book is actually my 4th-favorite. The title, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” describes my dad before and after he gave me that little one million-dollar loan when I was a kid.
When Israel demanded a king, the Lord sent Sam- uel to tell them just what was involved in their demand.
And Samuel said : “This will be the manner of the king
that shall rule over you : He will take your sons, and
appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his
horsemen ; and they shall run before his chariots ; and
he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains
over fifties ; and will set them to ear (or plant) his
ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments
of war, and the instruments of his chariots.
. . . And ye shall cry out in that day because
of your king which you have chosen ; and the Lord will
not hear you in that day.” I Sam. 8 :11-18.
Thank you for rewriting the entire verse, because none of us can actually look it up for ourselves and read it…..again, thank you.
Hey, Donnie-If I am not there in body, I will be there in spirit-absent from the body, present with my spouse, etc.
Maybe I will go to LALA LAND for a vacation. Woe iz me!!!
LOL!! :p
that man is not fit for presidency. he abused Africans when we have the negro in his country

If Donald Dump can’t handle questions from Megyn Kelly, how would he be able to handle disputes with Vladimir Pukin’ or the Ayatollah Komanchee? “We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president — a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.”
The most revealing thing about Trump is his seeing his own book as on the list at all. Seems to me that one’s favorite book would be distinctive of what they themself wrote, altho’ that he read anything of EGW surprises me.
DID ALL YA GET PAID TO BASH DONALD TRUMP?
Now, The President of United States of America when the Trumpet sound in WH2017 is Mr. D.J Trump.
That stupid crazy time you crazy cheering for a score
and you know it’s a repeat and the match ended 0-0
This is great news really. I am so pleased that Dr. Ben is sharing this great book. I was blessed by Steps to Christ the first time I read it over 30 years ago!
Please shut down the ” Barely Adventist ” site as it is very embarassing to the Adventist people who thinks that what they post is true!
They do not need to shut down the ” Barely Adventist ” site. We all know that these Adventist are liars.
Adventists are liars! Trump to say that the book “Step to Christ is his favorite” seems to be a joke. I thought Adventists were trustworthy, but they are liars!!!
Only God can judge Adventists .it really shows that is the try church. May God have mercy upon all of us
Trump likes to make America great again so i’m not surprised.
53% of the income of the SDA General Conference in USA comes from tithes and offering from poor countries south america,africa ,Philippines.
