glory! glory! glory!: exploring ellen white’s early visions

The glorious things I saw there, I cannot describe. Oh, that I could talk in the language of Canaan, then could I tell a little of the glory of the better world.＂ -Ellen G. White, in a letter written December 20, 1845

Despite her modest ability, Ellen did write out the glorious things that she saw, and the books containing her views that she published have inspired generations of readers, as her personal ministry helped establish the medical, educational, and humanitarian ministries of the Seventh-day Adventist Church throughout the world.

＂Glory! Glory! Glory!＂ Exploring Ellen White’s Early Visions contains the annotated text of Ellen White’s two earliest books. But it has more. It also tells the story of Ellen White’s early life and ministry with the challenges she faced, answers questions about the source of her visions and the early Adventist understanding of Bible prophecy, and showcases an exhaustive collection of eyewitness accounts of her visionary experiences. Yet there is still more!

Kevin Morgan’s ＂Glory! Glory! Glory!＂ delivers far more than it promises. It provides a detailed list of all of Ellen White’s visions between 1844 and 1854, dozens of early Millerite and Sabbatarian Adventist photos, scores of biographical sketches, and a wealth of little-known information, tucked away in its 1,000+ footnotes, based on a staggering amount of research into primary sources. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in early Adventist history.
