Although circumstances have changed radically, and the socio-political world is much different, we will find that Ellen White's writings speak explicitly for our day and are increasingly relevant in this time of the end. We believe that all who read this book will better understand how God works through His prophets and will be deeply convinced that Ellen White was called by God to fulfill the prophetic ministry. We will also face the future with greater courage and stronger faith, exclaiming with God's messenger: "We have no reason to fear the future, except that we may forget the path the Lord has led us and His teachings in our history."
