“Good stuff! Perceptive! A book long overdue! Whether you love Ellen White or hate her, this is a book that you need to read.” – George Knight, professor emeritus of Church History, Andrews University

“Nearly a century after Ellen White’s death, critics continue to attack the legacy of her ministry. In his book, Dr. Jud Lake traces the history of Ellen White’s critics from the earliest days of her ministry until the present. He demonstrates how an accurate understanding of inspiration prevents one from falling into the false expectations raised by her critics. This invaluable book provides a real service to all who have read charges made against Mrs. White and have wanted clear factual answers to refute those false claims.” – James R. Nix, Director, Ellen G. White Estate, Inc.

“Jud Lake is to be commended for addressing the deeper issues behind all the attacks on Ellen White. Ellen White Under Fire provides a careful analysis of the major issues in the writings of Ellen White – inspiration, authority, and interpretation. The book will be a real help for those confronted by the multitude of websites and books attacking Ellen White.” – Gerhard Pfandl, associate director, Biblical Research Institute

In the past, readers were often left wondering about the outcome of an event, instruction, or prediction found in a letter. Did the sick person revive? Was Ellen White’s instruction heeded or rejected? Were predictions or promises fulfilled? Now the annotations fill you in on the rest of the story.

This first volume in the series collects every known page of Ellen White’s writing for a 15-year period and puts them in chronological order. It includes transcriptions of what she said in vision. Her letters outline the struggle to keep both church leaders and laymen navigating the course that the Lord was laying out for the small company of believers. Her diary entries in particular give you an intimate view of her life in the early days of the movement and the small joys and concerns that came her way.
