Her best known most translated work is Steps to Christ, followed by the 5 conflict of the ages series: Patriarchs and Prophets, Prophets and Kings, Desire of Ages, Acts of the Apostles, and The Great Controversy. Ellen G. White is also credited as the co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Ratings and reviews

This would get 5 stars if the data were saved on external memory. It is now 2 years later and although there is a choice to install it on external memory, it does not work even with a fresh install. It is buggy at times when listening to the audio and will stop on its own and later in the day it will begin reading on its own even with the app closed. Love the content. Keep with it since this is still a great app in spite of the small quirks.

🙋‍♂I'll give it FIVE stars with a little caveat... Personally, I use King James version exclusively. But every time I want to look up a verse, I have to go through FOUR steps: 1. ALL COLLECTIONS 2. BIBLE 3. VERSIONS 4. KJV ➡️ It gets annoying... wasted motions... Maybe I'm missing it, but I'd like to be able to make KJV my DEFAULT look-up version EVERY TIME... I LIKE how you can designate certain portions of the text to be COPIED to OTHER LOCATIONS... The app is NOT PERFECT, but GOOD ENOUGH...✅

Content and selection is good. I enjoy reading from the numerous options. One inconvenience is the highlights and bookmarks do not stay put. When I want to save my spot for next time. I place a bookmark, so I can pick up where I left off, only to find it missing next time I read. I also like to highlight certain good points, but those disappear too. So inconvenient and annoying.
