(short) Book Review: A book that may be of some interest....
(Review by AR)
Ellen White spent nine years in Australia;...
In Stories From Sunnyside Marian de Berg, an administrative assistant at the Ellen G. White/Seventh-day Adventist Research Centre in Cooranbong, Australia, tells a story unfamiliar to all but the most well-informed Adventist historians. In nearly 50 short, readable chapters de Berg tells how Ellen White came to Australia, describes the places she lived, and introduces us to the family members and friends who surrounded Ellen White during her sojourn “down under.”
A remarkable feature of the book is not only the narrative provided, most in Ellen White’s own words, but also the photographs that accompany the volume, most of which will be unfamiliar to Adventists in North America. Who knew, for example, that Ellen White kept a dog named Tiglath Pileser, named after a ruthless ancient Assyrian king and described as “a terror to evildoers” (the dog, that is). A photo of the dog next to his house is one of the many photographs that illustrate the book.
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:21
