Millions of readers know Ellen G. White through her published works, but few know that much of what she wrote in them originated in letters to real people who benefited from her evangelistic zeal. At the same time, few know that in addition to being an author, she was a wife, mother, and a highly sought-after counselor. The calling she received at age 17 prompted her to consider all aspects of life in the fullest light of eternity. Therefore, her letters and manuscripts reveal the daily life of a 19th-century religious leader and, at the same time, offer us knowledge and principles that continue to speak to our generation. This book brings together her letters and manuscripts with explanatory notes that illuminate her visions, entries from personal journals, biographical information, and a rigorous introductory work.
