About the author

In brief, Ellen Gould Harmon White was a woman of remarkable spiritual gifts who lived most of her life during the nineteenth century (1827-1915), yet through her writings she is still making a revolutionary impact on millions of people around the world. During her lifetime she wrote more than 5,000 periodical articles and 40 books; but today, including compilations from her 50,000 pages of manuscript, more than 100 titles are available in English. She is the most translated woman writer in the entire history of literature, and the most translated American author of either gender. Her writings cover a broad range of subjects, including religion, education, social relationships, evangelism, prophecy, publishing, nutrition, and management. Her life-changing masterpiece on successful Christian living, Steps to Christ, has been published in more than 140 languages. Seventh-day Adventists believe that Mrs. White was more than a gifted writer; they believe she was appointed by God as a special messenger to draw the world's attention to the Holy Scriptures and help prepare people for Christ's second advent. From the time she was 17 years old until she died 70 years later, God gave her approximately 2,000 visions and dreams. The visions varied in length from less than a minute to nearly four hours. The knowledge and counsel received through these revelations she wrote out to be shared with others. Thus her special writings are accepted by Seventh-day Adventists as inspired, and their exceptional quality is recognized even by casual readers. As stated in Seventh-day Adventists Believe ... , “The writings of Ellen White are not a substitute for Scripture. They cannot be placed on the same level. The Holy Scriptures stand alone, the unique standard by which her and all other writings must be judged and to which they must be subject” (Seventh-day Adventists Believe ... , Ministerial Association, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Washington D.C., 1988, p. 227). Yet, as Ellen White herself noted, “The fact that God has revealed His will to men through His Word, has not rendered needless the continued presence and guiding of the Holy Spirit. On the contrary, the Spirit was promised by our Saviour to open the Word to His servants, to illuminate and apply its teachings” (The Great Controversy, p. vii). The following is a more detailed account of the life and work of this remarkable woman who, meeting all the tests of a true prophet as set forth in the Holy Scriptures, helped found the Seventh-day Adventist church.

Sexual promiscuity and it's effects on the life of Faith!

I recommend this reading material to anyone who wants to understand what is happening in the world today. And how the Storehouse has been affected the perverted nature of mankind and the world. There are solutions that are opened up to us. And they require us to understand they come from the precepts of GOD. There is more taught in this reading than just about sexual misconduct. I advise, don't get discouraged when starting to reading this material. It starts out w little slow and a little confusing. But, there is healing power for both the body and the spirit. "For understanding! 'The Storehouse is that place we call the church. 'But, GOD never established a building.! 'But, He did fill the living Temples with His Spirit." In the book of Malachi GOD said, "Bring the tithe into the Storehouse that there may be meat in my house." Read this if you a look into your own lives!

"The greater the sin, the greater the need for Jesus" I had this book ten years ago and threw it out because I wasn't ready for the truth. I read it now with an open mind and thankful for the growth in my life & relationships. Praise God for second chances 🙏🙌
