Food for Thought: Words to Live by from Ellen G White
Ellen Gould Harmon White
As a spiritual leader, prolific writer and pioneering nutritionist of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Ellen G. White had a profound effect on millions of people around the world. Today, her words continue to guide and inspire countless individuals. Although she is the most translated author in the history of American literature, few people outside the Seventh-day Adventist Church have known of her work--that is, until now. In this all-encompassing book, Robert Cohen presents Ellen G. White's most insightful thoughts on all aspects of life, from building strong character and recognizing the importance of family ties to dealing with disappointments and respecting the rights of animals. Here, then, are over 400 inspiring quotations from the writings of Ellen G. White that provide practical and moral guidance, as well as inspirational insights. Paired with each of White's inspiring thoughts are the voices of such noteworthy individuals as William Shakespeare, Thomas Edison, Florence Nightingale, Mother Teresa, and Oprah Winfrey, who provide further food for thought. To help you find the most relevant and helpful passages, Ms. White's quotations are arranged topically and alphabetically, making this book as wonderfully easy to use as it is illuminating. Whether viewed as a unique slice of history, a book of prophetic wisdom, or a relevant guide to everyday life, Food For Thought offers both a beacon of light and a path of truth.
