Why?

As a multi-generational Adventist and a student/teacher of religion I am very familiar with Ellen White - her story, her ministry, and her works - but as such, and a member of the millennial generation, I've been bombarded with the "Sister White says..." montage of many from the older generations. Because of this prevailing attitude, many in the X, Y, and Z generations - myself included - have taken the opposite extreme and use Mrs. White as little as possible.

Having recently undertaken the writing of the Great Controversy and Biblical history in story format - "From Light to Darkness" - I've found Mrs. White's "Conflict of the Ages" series to be a tremendous resource and so have begun reading through "Patriarchs and Prophets" as part of my daily devotion. What I've discovered could revolutionize the church and bring the "lost" generations back into attendance.

I challenge you to drop all baggage and preconceptions - that goes for ALL generations - and read through Ellen White with me.
