Who was Ellen White? 

Born in 1827, Ellen White was seriously injured as a child and had health problems for the rest of her life. However, she became the most translated female non-fiction author in history, and also the most translated American non-fiction author, as well as co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Ellen White had the gift of prophecy, and received over 2,000 visions from God.

Ellen White at a Glance 

A few words from Wikipedia

Ellen Gould White (born Harmon) (November 26, 1827 ? July 16, 1915) was an American Christian pioneer whose ministry was instrumental in founding the Sabbatarian Adventist movement that led to the rise of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Supporters of Ellen G. White regard her as a contemporary prophet, even though she never claimed this title for herself. Supporters for her believe that she had the spiritual gift of prophecy as outlined in Revelation 19:10. Her restorationist writings endeavor to showcase the hand of God in Christian history. This cosmic conflict, referred to as the "Great Controversy theme", is foundational to the development of Seventh-day Adventist theology. Her involvement with other Sabbatarian Adventist leaders, such as Joseph Bates and her husband James White, would form what is now known as the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

White was a controversial figure even within her own lifetime. She claimed to have received a vision soon after the Millerite Great Disappointment. In the context of many other visionaries, she was known for her conviction and fervent faith. Randall Balmer has described her as "one of the more important and colorful figures in the history of American religion"."White, Ellen Gould (née Harmon)" in Encyclopedia of Evangelicalism" by Randall Balmer, p614?15 Walter Martin described her as "one of the most fascinating and controversial personages ever to appear upon the horizon of religious history."Walter Martin, The Kingdom of the Cults. Minneapolis, Minnesota: Bethany Fellowship, 1965, p379 White is the most translated female non-fiction author in the history of literature, as well as the most translated American non-fiction author of either gender. Her writings covered theology, evangelism, Christian lifestyle, education and health (she also advocated vegetarianism). She promoted the establishment of schools and medical centers. During her lifetime she wrote more than 5,000 periodical articles and 40 books; but today, including compilations from her 50,000 pages of manuscript, more than 100 titles are available in English. Some of her more popular books include Steps to Christ, The Desire of Ages, and The Great Controversy''.

Ellen White and the Bible 

Ellen White never wanted her writings to be put above or on the same level as the Bible. Though Seventh-day Adventists believe that she was inspired just like the Biblical authors, she insisted that she was a Lesser Light, pointing to the Greater Light of the Bible.
