Ellen G. White

Ellen G. White was a woman of remarkable spiritual gifts who lived most of her life

during the nineteenth century (1827-1915), yet through her writings and public ministry

she has made a revolutionary impact on millions of people around the world in the

twentieth century. A large number consider her to have had the prophetic gift.

During her lifetime she wrote more than 5,000 periodical articles and 49 books; but

today, including compilations from her manuscripts, 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, health, social relationships, evangelism, prophecy,

publishing, nutrition, and management. Her life-changing masterpiece on successful

Christian living, Steps to Christ, has been published in nearly 150 languages, with well

over 100 million copies in circulation. Her crowning literary achievement is the

five-volume "Conflict of the Ages" series, which traces the conflict between good and

evil from its origin to its dramatic, soon-to-unfold conclusion.

Ellen White traveled widely in the United States, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

As a young girl she suffered serious health problems which threatened her life, yet she

lived a full life to age 87. Her varied roles included speaking before audiences as large as

20,000. Her insights into healthful living continue to be remarkably accurate concepts

widely accepted today by the scientific and medical community. She also helped to

establish a system of hospitals, schools, and publishing houses that circles the globe.
