Welcome to The Prophet Still Speaks. Our website is dedicated to telling the world about the amazing life and works of God's chosen messenger who was born in 1827 and lived an inspiring life until her peaceful death in 1915. Ellen G. Harmon was born in Gorham, Maine on November 26th, 1827 and at the age of 17 had her first vision from God. Ellen lived to the age of 87 and died at her Elmshaven home in Deer Park, California on July 16th, 1915. During her lifetime she wrote over 50,000 pages of manuscript on many important topics ranging from health and education to deeply spiritual insights into the Word of God. She also wrote over 5000 periodical articles. In her lifetime she had over 2000 dreams/visions and she wrote over 40 books. Her visions varied in length from less than a minute to nearly four hours. She is the most translated woman writer in the entire history of literature, and the most translated American author of either gender. Her life-changing masterpiece on successful Christian living, Steps to Christ, has been published in more than 140 languages. If you have not experienced and been blessed by Ellen's inspirational writings yourself, isn't it time that you find out what you have been missing? Her writings have been a source of inspiration to my family and myself for over 45 years. I am truly thankful to God for the wonderfully inspired insights He has given to the world through the works of this bible believing, Christ loving, Christian woman.
What is Ellen White's most popular book?
Millions consider Ellen White's classic volume on the life of Christ--The Desire of Ages--to be their favorite Ellen White book. But her most popular book is Steps to Christ, which presents the essentials of basic Christian living. First published in 1892 and since translated into more than 165 languages, tens of millions of copies are in circulation.
NOTE: The following statement by Ellen G. White is in direct reference to the following books: Christ's Object Lessons, Patriarchs and Prophets, The Great Controversy, and The Desire of Ages; nevertheless, due to the general nature of God's inspiration the principle applies equally to all of her God-inspired, Ellen White approved, published works.
"Sister White is not the originator of these books. They contain the instruction that during her lifework God has been giving her. They contain the precious, comforting light that God has graciously given His servant to be given to the world. From their pages this light is to shine into the hearts of men and women, leading them to the Saviour. The Lord has declared that these books are to be scattered throughout the world. There is in them truth which to the receiver is a savor of life unto life. They are silent witnesses for God. In the past they have been the means in His hands of convicting and converting many souls. Many have read them with eager expectation and by reading them have been led to see the efficacy of Christ’s atonement and to trust in its power. They have been led to commit the keeping of their souls to their Creator, waiting and hoping for the coming of the Saviour to take His loved ones to their eternal home. In the future, these books are to make the gospel plain to many others, revealing to them the way of salvation. ¶ The Lord has sent His people much instruction, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little. Little heed is given to the Bible, and the Lord has given a lesser light to lead men and women to the greater light. O how much good would be accomplished if the books containing this light were read with a determination to carry out the principles they contain! There would be a thousandfold greater vigilance, a thousandfold more self-denial and resolute effort. And many more would now be rejoicing in the light of present truth. ¶ My brethren and sisters, work earnestly to circulate these books. Put your heart into this work, and the blessing of God will be with you. Go forth in faith, praying as you go that God will prepare hearts to receive the light. Be pleasant and courteous. Show by a consistent course that you are a true Christian. Walk and work in the light of heaven, and your path will be as the path of the just, shining more and more unto the perfect day."
Mrs. Ellen G. White — 17LtMs, Lt 196, 1902, par. 4-6

Theoretical discourses are essential, that people may see the chain of truth, link after link, uniting in a perfect whole; but no discourse should ever be preached without presenting Christ and Him crucified as the foundation of the gospel.

This is a privately owned website and its purpose is to highlight the amazing life and the Holy Spirit inspired writings of Mrs. Ellen G. White [1827-1915]. Sadly, we cannot recommend attending or being a member of the current Seventh-Day Adventist Church to anyone due to the denominations many compromises and connections with the world and its deviations from the true faith that was established during the first 50 years of its God inspired movement. We do, however, highly recommend the Bible as the inspired Word of God and the inspired writings of Ellen G. White to everyone. Study to show thyself approved unto God.
