Description
The author of the essay tells the story of Ellen White, a real person who lived in the real world. White was not a "vegetarian virgin Mary," as many people perceive her, but rather she had similar experiences and struggles as people do today. The essay also describes White's role as a Christian, church worker, evangelist, and personal worker.
Ellen White was a real person who lived in the real world. Too many perceive her as some kind of "vegetarian virgin Mary." You will be surprised to find that her life was so much like ours. Do you have marriage problems? So did she. Do you have a wayward child? So did she. Do you enjoy a good laugh? So did she. Do you struggle in your Christian walk? So did she.
