Ellen Gould White (1827–1915) was a prolific author and an influential figure in the formation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Born on November 26, 1827, in Gorham, Maine, White's early involvement in the Millerite movement laid the foundation for her future work. After a life-changing injury at the age of nine, White had deep religious experiences, claiming to have received visions from God. Her work as an author began in earnest in the 1850s. She penned more than 40 books and is considered a guiding influence on Adventist theology and lifestyle. One of her best-known works, 'The Great Controversy,' delves into the conflict between good and evil from the Christian perspective, tracing the history of the world from the foundations of Christianity to the Second Coming and the New Earth. Her literary style, characterized by a passionate and earnest tone, reflected her commitment to her faith and her desire to share her spiritual convictions. White's writings, which include books, articles, and pamphlets, continue to be a source of inspiration and instruction for members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Throughout her life, White advocated for holistic health, education reform, and a deep sense of personal and communal spirituality.
