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. [Ellen G. White Estate.]
