Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a sailor, prisoner of war, sea captain, moral reformer, and itinerant preacher, Joseph Bates led a varied and fascinating life. As a prisoner of war, he survived the Dartmoor massacre. As captain of his own ship, he forced his sailors to swear off liquor and talked pirates out of their prey. Scrupulously honest, he once turned his ship around to return money overpaid him. The unlikeliest of preachers, Bates was an ungodly seaman who, after many narrow escapes from death, eventually gave his heart to God. In the pursuit of health, Bates was far ahead of his times. In 1821 he gave up smoking, and tobacco. He later quit drinking tea and coffee, eventually becoming a vegetarian. Before his retirement from the sea at age 35, Bates amassed a small fortune (for his times). Upon his retirement, he became actively involved in the temperance, anti-slavery, and Second Advent movements. Bates, who invested his wealth in spreading the Second Advent message, experienced the "Great Disappointment" in 1844 but did not lose his faith. In 1845, after reading a pamphlet by T. M. Preble, Bates began keeping the seventh day Sabbath. It was a tract written by Bates that convinced James and Ellen White of the importance of the Sabbath. As a result of his involvement in the "Sabbath Conferences" of 1848-1950, Joseph Bates became personally acquainted with James and Ellen White. Having personally witnessed Ellen White in vision a number of times, he became convinced that the visions were from God. Together with James and Ellen White, Joseph Bates is considered to be one of the co-founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Bates served actively as a minister until the end of his life: the year before he died (at the age of 80), he preached at least 100 times. Once a profane sailor, Bates is today remembered as a respected minister who was not afraid to be on the cutting edge. In the words of James White, "those who knew Bates longest and best, esteemed him most highly."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Bates was born in 1792 in Rochester, Massachusetts. At the age of fifteen, he accepted a job as a cabin boy aboard the Fanny, sailing from New York City to London. Thus began his career on the high seas, which culminated in Joseph becoming a respected ship captain.During one of his trips, Joseph read the Bible his wife had packed in his trunk and was converted. Thus set in motion his most important quest--developing a deeper understanding of Scripture and a deeper love for his Lord and Savior.In 1839 Bates accepted the teachings of William Miller. Then, months after the Great Disappointment, in the spring of 1845, Joseph accepted the seventh-day Sabbath truth. Consequently, he shared this good news with James and Ellen White, which resulted in his second career as a speaker, writer, and founding pioneer of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which was formed in 1863.The Autobiography of Elder Joseph Bates provides an in-depth look into his childhood, his adventures traversing the ocean, his conversion and the reform movements he supported, and his study of Scripture and the biblical truths he discovered.

Book excerpt: "Those who knew Bates longest and best, esteemed him most highly." –James White Shanghaied by the British in 1810, Joe Bates spent the next five years as a British sailor and prisoner, surviving the Dartmoor massacre. Soon he was captain of his own ship, forcing his sailors to swear off liquor and talking pirates out of their prey. Scrupulously honest, he once turned his ship around to return money overpaid him. In 1824 Joseph was converted and signed "a solemn covenant with God." He found "the pearl of great price which was . . . worth more than all the vessels and cargoes I have ever commanded." After amassing a small fortune, he retired at age 36 and joined the Christian Connexion, who took the Scriptures as their "only rule of faith and practice." Then his life began to get interesting. This biography by historian George Knight makes use of previously unavailable sources, letters, and logbooks to shed new light on the first theologian and real founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, who gave his estate to the new Advent movement, and spent the rest of his life in unpaid service to his King. Knight examines Bates' writings, his social and health reform, his key role in bringing the Sabbath to Adventism, and his conflict and partnership with James White. A hero who stood for truth against the majority, Bates once cut a hole in three feet of ice to baptize seven converts when it was 30 degrees below zero. In this biography Knight strips away the veneer of history to reveal new textures in the life of this most colorful pioneer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age 15, Joseph Bates "shipped" on a commercial vessel. For the next twenty-one years he lived the life of a sailor and ship captain. He returned to civilian life in 1828 with a small fortune. During the Advent Awakening, the retired sea captain became a respected evangelist and spiritual leader among the Adventists. In early 1845, Bates was providentially led to an understanding of the truth concerning the seventh-day Sabbath, and in 1846 he published a 48-page tract on the subject. The respected Captain was the oldest member of our church pioneers, and he became the first Seventh-day Adventist local conference president (Michigan, 1861). He lived to the age of 80. One reason for his physical endurance, in spite of many sacrifices, was his simple diet and temperate habits. He organized of the first temperance societies in the United States. Bates was a spiritual man with clear-cut views and the courage of a lion. He did not hesitate to sacrifice when the need arose. Let us thank God for the venerable Captain - apostle of the Sabbath truth.
