Ellen G. White has undoubtedly been the most influential Seventh-day Adventist in the history of the church. 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 denomination.

But you may be thinking, who is Ellen White? George Knight, professor of church history at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, answers that question in this book.

The first, and largest, section presents a concise biographical overview of her life. The second section introduces the reader to both her published and unpublished writings, showing the major categories that her counsel to the church falls in. And the third section explores seven major themes that run through all she write.

Dr. Knight helps the reader to understand and appreciate the fascinating life and role of God’s messenger to the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Meeting Ellen White (Ellen White Series Book 3) Reviews

  • Ispeakinglish

    I read this because my millennialism as well as other people's abusive treatment of the writings of Ellen White has had a direct effect on my ability to process her writings. I am trying to get a better picture of who she was and what she wrote so that I can do a better job understanding and presenting her writings, as a youth pastor and as an Adventist in general. This book had some great information, but I see that I am going to need to read some of the other ones in this series.

  • Zoe

    Comprehensive view of EGW's life, however it is definitely written from a severely biased perspective. I preferred "God's Generals" since it was more inclusive of a full life lived by various religious leaders of the Christian faith. Sadly that volume did not however mention EGW, so I make up for deficiencies by reading this text. Also, I read it for a class.

  • Michael Paradise

    Good resource for someone who is interested in an overview of EGW's life and writings. He encourages readers to get to know the material by pointing to Conflict of the Ages and Testimonies.

    Great Overview

    A wonderful overview of her life, writings, and major themes. I highly recommend this book as a window to a world of Grace and Love.
