Book Description:

"Ellen Gould White (1827-1915) was a 19th century American religious leader who started the movement which later became the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Great Controversy, a narrative of immense cosmic conflict through Biblical times down to the 19th century, was written on the back of a stack of hat advertising flyers. In the wake of the Great Disappointment, where William Miller's prediction that the world would end on October 22, 1844, White had visions and prophesized that Jesus Christ would return to earth, and his believers would ascend to heaven with him. This book elaborates that worldview, written down as a narrative of a sequence of visions." (Quote from sacred-texts.com)

About the Author:

"Ellen Gould White (nee Harmon) (November 26, 1827 - July 16, 1915), born to Robert and Eunice Harmon, was an American Christian leader whose prophetic ministry was instrumental in founding the Sabbatarian Adventist movement that led to the rise of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Supporters of Ellen G. White regard her as a modern-day prophet, even though she never claimed this title for herself. Support for her prophetic role is usually expressed in the language that she exhibited the spiritual gift of prophecy as outlined in the New Testament. Adventists do not consider this to conflict with the Reformation principle Sola Scriptura ("by scripture alone"), because the Bible is believed to be superior to her writings and the Bible teaches that one of the gifts to the church is the gift of phophecy. Her restorationist writings showcase the hand of God in Seventh-day Adventist history. This cosmic conflict, referred to as the "great controversy theme", is foundational to the development of Seventh-day Adventist theology. Her involvement with other Sabbatarian Adventist leaders, such as Joseph Bates and her husband James White, would create a nucleus of believers around which a core group of shared beliefs would emerge. Ellen White believed that at the close of earth's history Jesus Christ would return to this earth to gather His people and take them to heaven." (Quote from wikipedia.org)
