Understanding Ellen White

81/161

Regular books

Most of Ellen White’s regular books produced during her lifetime involved a compilation process, drawing from previously written material. These books had the advantage of her personal involvement in the production. She was able to provide context to the statements, add new material, and create a smooth- flowing text. 23 Her narrative like books, such as the Conflict of the Ages Series, fall into this category. 24 She authored other books on numerous topics by drawing from materials that she had written previously and then rewriting, rearranging, and expanding them. 25 UEGW 122.2
