Download or read book Ellen G White Prophet of Destiny written by Rene Noorbergen and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April, 1906 Ellen G. White was granted a vision foreseeing the destruction of the city of San Francisco. Two days later, an earthquake struck, leveling the city. Once again, Ellen G. White had somehow seen into the future. Since girlhood, she had had more than 2,000 visions, revealing truths of religion, history, medicine and nutrition, often foreshadowing scientific discoveries yet to be made. Inspired by these visions and her sense of the presence of God, Ellen G. White worked throughout her life, first to help found the Seventh-day Adventist Church, then to spread its word around the world. She lived to see it become one of the major religious forces of our time; and during her lifetime, wrote more than fifty books which have been translated into one hundred languages and sold in the millions of copies. All of this she accomplished in the face of dire poverty, with no formal schooling beyond the third grade. Rene Noorbergen's bestseller is a full and fascinating portrait of a truly remarkable, yet strangely little-known woman.
Download or read book The Prophet and Her Critics written by Leonard Brand and published by RSM Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1848 Ellen White had her first health vision, primarly against the us of tabacco. Her major health vision came in June 1863, from which sprang the basice concepts comprising the health message that Sevent-day Adventis advocate today.Questions have been raised, however, about the true source of that health message. Was Ellen White dependent on other helath reform publications available at the time, or did God truley reveal the health principles to her as she claimed? In other words, was the health message inspired or borrowed? In The Prophet and Her Critics, Leonard Brand and Don McMahon answeer these and other questions about the inspiration, nineteenth-century health reforms, and Ellen White's views on sexual realtionships, plagiarism, and more, while examining the accusations of Mrs. White's most vocal detractors. The result is new evidence vindicating both the message and the messenger.
Download or read book An Appeal to Mothers written by Ellen G. White and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2012-06-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Largely of historical interest, Ellen G. White's 1864 book on health care reform deals with the perceived problems of masturbation among the young. Terming it a "solitary vice" and "self abuse," she addresses her concerns--and her solutions--directly to mothers, advocating religion, awareness, and work. Though hardly politically correct today, with modern knowlege and insight, her views and solutions are far less extreme than most other health care professionals' of the age.

This book was released on 2014-05-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the 100th anniversary of the death of Ellen G. White approaches, Patricia Pryor takes a fresh look at her life, her ministry, and the forces that shaped the religious culture of the nineteenth century in which she lived. A unique set of environmental events made many believe the end of the world was imminent; financial disasters succeeded one another; radical groups formed isolated communities; strange occult activity gave birth to spiritualism. Suddenly a young girl began having visions that explained the future and revealed how to survive a coming apocalypse. Although this scenario has all the elements of good science fiction, it is the true story of the nineteenth century and Ellen G. White. Pryor traces the events of White's life as the amazing journey from her childhood in Portland, Maine, to her prominent position as co-founder of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church unfolds. The possible undiagnosed disease that profoundly influenced her personality is examined in detail and her spiritual gift of prophecy is explained. Pryor doesn't hesitate to discuss the controversial questions raised about White's visions and writings. This book tells the inspiring story of Ellen White, revealing why millions still revere her as prophetess and leader.

Download or read book Ellen G White A Psychobiography written by Steve Daily and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This explosive work contains a great deal of highly documented material on the life and movement of Ellen G. White that Adventists in general, to say nothing of the public, will not know. The book is not a classic psychobiography, although history and psychology are the primary disciplines employed. It also contains a sprinkling of theology and personal reflection to make it a unique blend. The most striking evidence presented raises major questions about the prophet’s mental and moral health. It is a must read for anyone who truly wants to understand Seventh-Day Adventism and its prophetic founder. A devastating work. What Numbers and Rea started, your book will finish! —John Dart (1936-2019), longtime religion editor, Los Angeles Times I enjoyed the writing and the stories. The anecdotes you included enriched the content. Your writing was personal, and I think readers will feel that you are writing to them, and makes the book of increased value. There is the same question with Joseph Smith. Why do people stay in the face of such documentation? What are the forces that keep them tied to source documentation of fraud? —Dr. Robert Anderson, psychiatrist, author, Inside the Mind of Joseph Smith: Psychobiography and the Book of Mormon I found the material fascinating, a powerful polemic! —Ronald Numbers, William Coleman professor of History, University of Wisconsin-Madison, author, Prophetess of Health

Book excerpt: Did you know... Intermittent fasting was established in our tradition long before physicians recommended it. The companion, Zahir bin Haram struggled with body image. The Prophet (ﷺ) would build his confidence, telling him he was valued in the eyes of Allah. Islam advocates for consent to our bodies, including the right to privacy when using the bathroom, sleeping, and in seeking permission before entering a room. The Prophet (ﷺ) taught the young companion, al-Fadl, to lower his gaze out of respect for others and as a means to control sexual urges. Islam looks at entertainment as a human need. After striving for the sake of Allah, we are encouraged to take time to relax, re-energize, and have fun with permissible activities. The Prophet (ﷺ) advocated for social justice in a society that had deep practices of racism.
