The Acts of the Apostles
The amazing story of the early Christian believers is told in Volume 4, The Acts of the Apostles. After Jesus was victorious over Satan and returned to heaven, the enemy turned his attention to Jesus' church on earth. Here are thrilling stories of fierce persecutions and unswerving loyalty to God. Peter, Paul, James, John, Luke, Barnabas, Stephen, Mark, and the other early apostles carried the wonderful news of the gospel to all of the then-known world. Unwilling to surrender their faith, many gave their lives. That story is still continuing. Christ's church today is carrying forward the same work and has the same promise of divine guidance and power.

A Call to Medical Evangelism and Health Education
In these last days of earth’s history, those who meet the medical needs of others will have the door opened to meet spiritual needs as well. Christ Himself “went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed by the devil.” His healing was not only physical, but spiritual as well.
This exceptional book by Ellen White is a call to—the church and to individuals—help others with medical and spiritual needs. When we follow this counsel, we are heeding the advice of Isaiah 58, which outlines our responsibility to help those who are sick and needy. This is the true service that God wants from us, and that is so powerfully called for in this timeless book.

Counsels for the Church is a comprehensive selection of inspired materials from Ellen White that first appeared in books and periodicals during her lifetime. Grouped into sixty-six chapters, this counsel and instruction covers a wide range of topics. Because of space limitations, the compilers selected only the most essential and practical counsels on themes of significance and practical value to both the church and the individual. They are designed to draw Christians closer to God, giving them deeper insights into how to live daily in His love and grace.
Counsels on Diet and Foods
Decades before many physiologists were concerned with the close relationship between diet and health, Ellen G. White in her writings clearly pointed out the connection between the food we eat and our physical and spiritual welfare. In her discourses and writings from 1863 onward, she discussed frequently the importance of diet and adequate nutrition.
Her counsels, as preserved in pamphlets and books, in the journals of the denomination, and in personal testimonies, have exerted a strong influence on the dietetic habits of Seventh-day Adventists, and indirectly have left their impress upon the general public. In assembling the materials comprising Counsels on Diet and Foods, an effort was made to include the full range of instruction on the subject from Mrs. White's pen. The resulting compilation is unique for it presents the counsels clustered topically under a general heading, with no attempt to provide a continuity in reading.

Daughters of God

Let me only desire and choose Thy will. Let the words and example of my Redeemer be the light and strength of my heart. While I follow and trust in Him, He will not leave me to perish.

Early Writings
This volume is a comprehensive selection of Ellen G. White’s published writings from the 1850s, along with a prologue explaining the historical background of the text. The autobiographical section of the book describes the author’s conversion experience, the Millerite movement of 1840-1844, and the early visions that formed the foundation of her theology and ministry. A second section contains counsel on various matters pertaining the experience of the early Adventist believers.
The final half of the book traces salvation history from the fall of Satan in heaven to the final end of sin and sinners. This material forms the core of the later five-volume Conflict of the Ages Series.
Ellen White’s bold apocalyptic imagery helped to shape a movement centered on the hope of the Second Coming. This volume bears witness that God continues to reveal Himself through dreams and visions to chosen individuals today.
Education
This classic work on education sets forth the unique and challenging idea that “the work of education and the work of redemption are one.” The ultimate goal of all learning should be to understand more about our Creator-Redeemer and to reflect that understanding in our personal lives. In her writings on this subject, Ellen White was concerned, not with details of curriculum or educational systems, but with great, guiding principles. The result is a penetrating look at the factors that make up true education in its broadest sense. The reader will find in these pages insights to guide not only parents, students, and teachers, but all who seek true education in the great school of life.
From Eternity Past

And in it all, we see that “God is Love.”
Evangelism
Presenting God’s last warning message to a doomed world is the “highest, greatest work” ever given to human beings. This comprehensive handbook on evangelism shows how appropriate strategies and personal preparation of both head and heart empower the Christian to lead people to accept Christ and prepare for His soon return.
Jesus said, “Go and teach all nations.” His followers obeyed, and “returned with joy.” The guiding principles and detail advice in this volume will enable the reader to avoid many pitfalls and succeed in the joyful work of soul winning.
Faith and Works
Salvation is by faith alone, but faith is never alone.
That is the message of these 18 readings (written 1881-1902) on the topic of salvation. The gem of the collection is an 1890 manuscript, perhaps Ellen White's most definitive statement on justification by faith, written during the theological ferment that followed that Minneapolis General Conference of 1888.
While emphasizing the importance of obedience, she wrote, “It is not possible to effect anything in our standing before God or in the gift of God to us through creature merit. . . . Justification is wholly of grace and not procured by any works that fallen man can do. . . . Any works that man can render to God will be far less than nothingness.”
This volume portrays a God of grace who embraces every sinful, struggling soul who accepts His offer of righteousness by faith

White by Dr. David Paulson, Healthful Living sets forth in topically-arranged excerpts, “in the most concise and condensed form possible the various teachings upon the subjects of health, health reform and allied matters which are to be found in the writing of Mrs. E. G. White.”
Topics in this volume include physiology of the body, proper diet and habits, treatment of disease, and the work of medical missionaries.
Heaven
Some of Ellen White’s earliest visions contained bright glimpses of heaven and the earth made new. When she came out of vision, this world seemed dark and lonely compared with the brilliant beauty of the world to come which she had seen so vividly. And she often struggled to find the words to describe what she had been shown in vision.
This compilation gathers the choicest statements and descriptions she has given over the years about heaven—the future home of the redeemed.

From Here to Forever
The love and character of God has been put in question since the fall of Lucifer, who has spent millennia warring against the Lord and His faithful subjects. In this condensed version of The Great Controversy, the conflict is shown in the history of the first martyrs, the persecution of the Dark Ages, the subtle attacks in our “enlightened time,” and through prophetic views of the great final battle.

Medical Ministry
Ellen White wrote a great deal about health. Much of her counsel in this book is directed to medical workers, but people not directly involved in health-care work also will find much of interest and value. The author placed great importance on obedience to God's law as a foundation for good health. She believed that disregarding God's moral law leads to disregard for His physical laws that govern the health of body and mind. This comprehensive view of health—one that involves body, mind, and spirit—is set forth in this book.
Messages to Young People
Several generations of youth have been nourished by this uncompromising call to duty, purity, and service. The author, who began her ministry when only 17 years of age, invites youth to examine their reading, dress, music, and social life, and discard cheap amusements that retard spiritual progress. She examines those fundamental traits of character that make for success or failure in the spiritual life, and discusses practical subjects such as home and parents, health, courtship and marriage, and how to recognize true love.

She describes the tragic rebellion that took place in heaven many thousands of years ago and makes plain that this ongoing conflict between Satan and God affects each person who lives on Earth. Patriarchs and Prophets shows how this conflict worked itself out in the lives of men and women in Old Testament times. It answers such questions as: “Where did we come from?” “Where are we going?” and “If God is all-powerful, why doesn’t He prevent the spread of evil and its tragic results?”

With our eyes on Him, our confidence can be found in following His footsteps.
Prophets and Kings
Prophets and Kings, the second volume in the Conflict of the Ages series, opens with the story of Solomon’s glorious reign over Israel and ends with the nation’s exile and captivity. It traces the history of a favored and chosen people, vacillating between allegiance to God and to the gods of the nations around them. In these pages can vividly be seen dramatic evidences of the raging struggle between God and Satan for the hearts of men and women. Here the reader will find fascinating characters—wise Solomon, fearless Elijah, wicked Ahaz, beloved Daniel, courageous Jeremiah, and many others. Their experiences provide rich lessons of faith and evidences of God’s love and providential care.

The Publishing Ministry
In regard to the publishing work, Ellen White wrote, “Let everyone professing the name of Christ act a part in sending forth the message, or ‘The end of all things is at hand’; or ‘prepare to meet thy God.’” She added that the gospel publications “should go everywhere.” In The Publishing Ministry, Mrs. White not only stresses the importance of the literature work in these last days, but she also gives counsel in regard to leadership, co-working, distribution, content, and every other aspect related to the publication of God's message to the world.
The Retirement Years
In this volume Ellen White offers many inspired and inspiring answers to questions raised by golden-agers. These gems of thought have been gleaned from her letters, manuscripts, books, and periodical articles, many of which were written after she was 65–the 23 years from 1892-1915.
It is hoped that this collection of letters, articles, and messages from the pen of God’s devoted servant will be a practical and cherished source of wisdom and guidance to people of retirement years, as well as to those of pre-retirement times who wish to grasp more fully the statement of Christ: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

Under the general title of “Sanctification” there appeared in the early issues of The Review and Herald for 1881 a series of eleven helpful articles from the pen of Ellen G. White. In the same decade the eleven articles were drawn together and published as a pamphlet. In 1937 under the familiar title of The Sanctified Life, this material was again reissued in its entirety with the addition of one paragraph from Prophets and Kings to make the present volume.

Sketches from the Life of Paul
This book is a much-loved work of 32 chapters, devoted to the life and teachings of the apostle Paul. Later, it was replaced by The Acts of the Apostles (1911), which also deals with the experience of the other apostles. This was in harmony with the larger planning for the five volumes of the Conflict of the Ages series, where it fills the gap between The Desire of Ages and The Great Controversy.
A Solemn Appeal
This publication includes seven chapters of the original multi-author publication, A Solemn Appeal Relative to Solitary Vice and Abuses and Excesses of the Marriage Relation, compiled by James White. These portions of text by Ellen White are also presented—even more comprehensively —in The Adventist Home, Section V, and Child Guidance, Section XVI.
The Southern Work
In answer to Ellen White’s historic 1891 testimony her son James Edson White began evangelistic and educational work among Southern Blacks, using a missionary boat that plied the Mississippi River. Ellen White produced an ongoing series of testimonies on this subject, which Edson gathered up and published in 1898 and 1901. This reprint of that work, with the inclusion of additional material, reminds us that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, and one in the Spirit.

Story of Hope
Drawing from both Biblical accounts and Ellen G. White's unique and inciteful visions, the Story of Hope offers a glimpse behind history’s curtain where we learn of God's plan of redemption for man even before his creation. The book unfolds the origin of evil, while revealing both God's patience in dealing with its results throughout history and His plan for resolving it completely in the very near future.
The Story of Jesus
An “adaptation” of materials prepared for The Desire of Ages as they came from the pen of Ellen G. White, presenting the high points of the story of Jesus in a vocabulary suitable for children.
The Story of Redemption
In the mid-nineteenth century Ellen White experienced a series of visions concerning “the great controversy of the ages between Christ and Satan.” These visions inspired a small work entitled Spiritual Gifts, which was later expanded into a four-volume work, The Spirit of Prophecy. Later this material was further amplified and published in the five-volume Conflict of the Ages series.
The Story of Redemption contains the heart of The Spirit of Prophecy, with additional material. In chronological order it covers God’s dealings with humanity from the primordial fall of Lucifer to the new earth, with behind-the-scenes glimpses often supplying details not found in Scripture.
Temperance
Temperance was a favorite theme of Ellen G. White, both in her writings and in her public speaking. Through the years, she urged everyone, both young and old, to practice temperance and to promote it vigorously. Although society has changed markedly since Mrs. White lived and wrote, the principles she stressed regarding temperance remain remarkably relevant to contemporary life. The power of alcohol and other forms of intemperance to destroy health, moral fiber, and spiritual discernment is still present today. The selections appearing in this book have been drawn from the whole range of her writings on the topic, including sources long out of print.

Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing
The “greatest sermon ever preached” was given on a once-unnamed mountain, now known as the mount of the Beatitudes. The words there spoken 2000 years ago have echoed down through the ages as guidance and encouragement for Christians on the upward path. Blessed are the poor in spirit, the meek, the merciful. These blessings form only a part of the message Christ gave on that crowded hillside. This publication expounds on and gives insight into the deep messages behind Christ's greatest sermon.

From Trials to Triumph

This volume collects Ellen White's most important writings on revival. She helps us distinguish between true and false revival, and talks about how revival reveals itself in our Christian walk.
The Truth About Angels
Although the Bible describes angels as God’s messengers who carry out His will on earth, misconceptions abound regarding their nature and role in human affairs. Ellen G. White often lifted the veil between the seen and the unseen world, setting forth the truth about angels and their involvement in events on earth, as she described what God brought to her mind. Beginning with Lucifer’s rebellion in heaven and continuing to the work of angels after the end of sin, this volume provides a behind-the-scenes view of the existence and activities of angels as they go about the work of heaven. Best of all, it will help you enjoy the fellowship of angels in your daily walk with God.
The Voice in Speech and Song
The tongue and speech are gifts from God, Ellen White states. And indeed, many Proverbs confirm the great influence of these talents—both for good and harm. Therefore, it behooves us to rightly cultivate these divine gifts. This publication emphasizes our responsibility as Christians to use voice correctly, illustrates how Christ used this gift, and gives practical counsel about how we can effectively train this mighty power.
Welfare Ministry
