Ellen White And Her World
Ellen White And Our WorldAdditional Info
From the Back Cover:Ellen White’s writings are important, but they are only part of the story. The other part is the social and intellectual context in which she wrote. What was her world like? What problems did it face? What ideas were in vogue? What religious movements did she interact with? How did her ideas relate to the sentiments of other reformers of her day?
These and other questions stand at the heart of George R. Knight’s third volume in his series on Ellen White. The genius of Ellen White’s World is that it combines photographs with verbal descriptions to make Ellen White’s world come alive for the modern reader.
The first section of this helpful volume concisely presents the world of Ellen White prior to the American Civil War, while the second section examines her world after that climactic event. An understanding of those two very distinct contexts is essential for the fullest understanding of Ellen White’s counsel to the church

Reading Ellen White
$20.99Add to cartEllen White wrote in the late 1860s to a church member that “eggs should not be placed on your table. They are an injury to your children” (Testimonies, vol. 2, p. 400). Then in 1901 she told another member to “get eggs of healthy fowls. Use these eggs cooked or raw. Drop them uncooked into the best unfermented wine you can find” (Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 204).
How do you reconcile such seemingly opposite statements from the same inspired author? Which one was inspired? Or were both? How do we interpret them-and everything else that Ellen White wrote?
George R. Knight sets forth in a clear, simple manner the principles that will help every reader to interpret and apply her counsel to his or her life.
In the first section of Reading Ellen White Knight looks at the purpose of her writings, their relationship to the Bible, the role of compilations, and how to read her work systematically. The second and longest section examines fundamental principles of interpretation, and the final section explores how to apply Ellen White’s counsel to both our lives and the lives of others. Reading Ellen White is a companion to his Meeting Ellen White. Size: 5 3/16″ x 8″.

Take Charge Of Your Health
$3.49Add to cartIf Your Future’s Not What it Used to Be,
Why Not Get a New One!Take Bob Anderson, age 66. Before, he couldn’t even walk to his mailbox. Afterward, he traveled 300 miles to his doctor’s appointment over the Rockies-on a bicycle. For an encore, he bicycled 3,000 miles across Canada.
What made the difference? The principles in this book. Ludington and Diehl show, in case after case, that health derelicts can become dynamos by simplifying their diet, eating unrefined foods, using natural remedies such as hot and cold water treatments, and exercising. Through powerfully motivating stories of changed lives the authors convey the rules for vibrant health, as well as how to shed bitterness, find new peace of mind, and recover a close connection with God.
“After only two weeks I felt like a new man. By the fourth week I was my old self again-energetic, optimistic, creative, and on fire. I could hardly wait to get back to my work.”-Bob Spangler.
“Today I am off all medication, have no more angina, and feel full of energy and interest in life. . . . I don’t plan to retire until I’m 90.”-Ruth Packer.
“More than three years have passed. . . . My health and energy are better now than at any time in my life. On a recent 11-mile trek into Yosemite National Park a group of young people wanted a picture of this 74-year-old white-haired mountaineer. ‘When I get old,’ one girl told me, ‘I want to be like you.'”-Alice Weisz.

Ellen The Girl With Two Angels
$12.59Add to cartMabel R. Miller
“Ellen White’s great-granddaughter shares her family stories of Ellen when she was growing up. This Early Reader book (7-9 year old) inspires children with stories about how God helped Ellen and spoke to her as she grew up and became His prophet.
Ellen grew up like any other child in the 1800’s. With her twin sister, Elizabeth, she brought the cows home for milking, fed the family dogs, learned to read, and loved to play.
When she was still young, Jesus began to speak to Ellen in dreams and visions. “Ellen, tell people what I have shown you. Tell them I am coming soon.”
But Ellen was worried. “Jesus, I’m afraid. I can’t speak to people.”
“Ellen,” Jesus promised, ” your angel will always be with you. And I will send an extra angel anytime you are in danger.”
So Ellen, the girl with two angels, became a messenger for God.”

Secret Of The Cave
$15.39Add to cartArthur S. Maxwell
What reason had anyone in the village to connect the disappearance of the boat, the lost horse, the widow’s herring, the cork life jacket, the windowpane, the lost peat moss, the rusty clock spring, or the strange prints in the earth with McCullem’s Cave?
Who milked the old lady’s cow and left a note for her saying, “Don’t worry about Nancy this morning!”
Roy determined to find out. Since there seemed to be a connection of some kind with the cave, he went exploring there. The cave was dark, and he had to crawl on his hands and knees. Trembling as he went farther in, he came upon–of all things–a door. He peered in through the crack, and there-
But why don’t you read for yourself and find out the secret of the cave.

Taught By A Tiger
$15.39Add to cartToga looked around in the darkness. Something was out there–the heavy breathing sound was getting closer. Then, he saw it move, not ten feet away. It was a tiger! Would Teacher’s God be with him now?
When Toga’s father, the village chief, invited the new teacher to live with his people, Toga and his friend Kiri began to learn about the one true God. But not everyone in the village wanted to learn. Nee-pah hated Teacher and Mama Joe. He would do anything to drive them and their new God away.
Toga was sure that no one could change Nee-pah’s heart. He knew no one could teach Nee-pah to love the true God. But that was before Nee-pah was taught by a tiger.
