Ellen G. White was, among other things, the co-founder of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. During her long life she claimed to have had over two hundred visions, regarded by her church as divine revelations and which formed the basis of her teachings and much of her writing.

She was also a vegetarian, a subject on which she also wrote and which inspired the creation of that much-loved breakfast cereal, the corn flake.

Her writing was very extensive and so influential that she is generally believed to be the most translated female writer of non-fiction in the history of literature.

She is a figure both revered and controversial. You can discover more about her from the collection of quotations contained within this book.
