Ellen
G. White (1827-1915) has undoubtedly been the most influential Seventh-day
Adventist in the history of the church. She and her husband, James, provided
strong leadership as the church was founded and organized in the mid-1800's.
Her personal presence and her writings did much to shape and guide Adventism
during her seven decades of prophetic ministry. Since her death in 1915 her
counsel and insights have continued to direct the Adventist Church. Today
millions look to her writings for guidance and motivation.
Although an accident ended her formal education
at the age of 9, she wrote approximately 100,000 manuscript pages on such
topics as health, education, family, Bible history, and practical Christian
living. During her lifetime she experienced more than 2,000 dreams and visions,
which provided a rich source of divine wisdom for her extensive writings.
Her book, The Desire of Ages, is considered by many to be the finest book
ever written on the life of Christ.
This section is divided into two parts:
1) books about Ellen White's life and ministry and 2) books written by her
or compiled since her death from her extensive writings. The books in the
second section have been divided into several topical groups to make it easier
for you to browse. It is our prayer that you will find in Mrs. White's writings
inspiration for your own walk with God.
