This interesting book gave me a new view of Ellen White and her prophetic ministry. I grew up at a time when the church held her every word to be inspired and in some cases, even more instructive than the Bible. Over the years, I have had a number of experiences that helped me modify that view of Ellen White and her work. I was surprised to discover that much of her communication was severely lacking in specificity. Thus, many times her counsel was ignored or misunderstood. Several years ago, I visited Elmshaven, Ellen White’s last home. Her granddaughter was caretaker of the home and gave tours through the place. Some out-of-town guests were with us for our tour. They were very conservative and even a bit fanatical regarding Christmas. They viewed it as almost a sin to have any of the trappings of Christmas in their home and even worse in a church. My friends asked if Ellen White allowed them to have a Christmas tree. The granddaughter’s reply was quite memorable. "Oh my, yes!†she replied. “Grandma would go with us children up the canyon to make sure we selected a nice tree.†The granddaughter then described how Ellen White would sit in her chair and supervise the children as they decorated the tree. It made her seem so human. Valentine does the same, documenting her frailties as well as the great contribution she made to the growth and development of the Seventh-day Adventist church. He also recognizes the spiritual gift of administration, especially as seen in the work of A. G. Daniels. The last chapter which provides A Hermeneutical Paradigm for Understanding Ellen White in the 1890’s is worth the cost of the book. It provides an enlightened view of the nature of inspiration. If the book has a fault, it might be in the tremendous amount of detail the author presents. However, what some readers might view as tedious trivia, I found enjoyable and informative. I would recommend this book to every thoughtful Adventist, especially those searching to gain a greater understanding of the prophetic gift.
Valentine, G. M. (2011). The prophet and the presidents: Ellen G. White and the processes of change, 1887-1913: A study of Ellen White's influence on the administrative leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Oshawa, Ont., Canada: Pacific Press. ISBN: 9780816324859, pp. 383. Kindle edition, $9.99.Reviewed by Stanley E. Patterson, PhDStanley Patterson is the Executive Director of the Christian Leadership Center and Professor of the Christian Ministry Department of Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, USA.This book exposes a period (c. 1888-1913) in Adventist history and in the life of Seventh-day Adventist prophet Ellen White that has been poorly reported and historically underexplored. Many of the episodes dealt with in the pages of this volume can be appropriately described as painful and troubling. As the Seventh-day Adventist Church matured and adopted organizational structures to deal with the complexities of growth, human nature and the predictable corruptions wrought by power and control revealed themselves in the lives of men and women charged with the sacred duty of providing spiritual leadership. The church and the ministries functioning as extensions of the church suffered the dysfunction and at times the abuse of leadership gone awry.During these years Ellen White, though physically distanced from the General Conference leaders due to her move to Australia, remained active in bearing testimonies intended to guide and influence actions and the direction of the church. Valentine makes a biblical case supporting her intense involvement in church governance by referencing the political behavior of prophets such as Samuel (loc 429), Nathan (ibid), Ahijah, Micaiah (loc 437) and others who counseled and advised kings and rulers as a regular part of their prophetic ministry. Ellen White’s testimonies like those of her ancient counterparts were often resented, ignored, or misunderstood. Her relationship with the presidents were consequently fraught with tension and at times conflict due to the failure on the part of leaders to act on her counsel.The narratives shared also raise a question regarding Ellen White—whose voice was being expressed, God or hers? Was she influenced by the shabby treatment she received from church leaders and especially leaders in the publishing work and did this poor treatment influence the tone of her testimonies? As Valentine delicately points out, “some aspects of temperament and personality became perhaps, more noticeable during her sunset years…†(loc 5556). In plain words she became at times quite harsh in her words and reactions to leaders who seemed to be doing the best they could in a challenging context. Thus we see a human side to the prophet that should not surprise us since her ancient counterparts again were presented in both their failures and in their victories. But, “such things did not invalidate her gift†(ibid).This is not a book for the immature. It reveals the raw challenge of leading and in turn being led by God’s servant. It reveals not only the humanity of the prophet but lays open the humanity of the leaders who served during the uncertainty of the “turn of the 20th century†church. The reader is exposed to the reality of the personal debt carried by Ellen White incurred by her in agreement with leaders who later betrayed her by withholding royalties that might have mitigated the debt. This indebtedness was so restricting on her life that there were times she fell months behind in paying something as essential as grocery bills not to mention the salaries of people dedicated to helping with her publications.In some sense the candid expose of this period is refreshing to a reader who too often reads only the good news but is “shielded†from the adventures and follies that make up life behind the scenes. Though painful and sometimes difficult to read, this book is a must for anyone wishing for a candid snapshot of life for the church in these formative years. The battles, the broken relationships, and the amazing growth that emerged from what at times appeared to be irreconcilable chaos provide powerful lessons for us more than a century hence. The book is especially helpful as a resource to church leaders who would wish to avoid the pitfalls that ensnared early leaders, some of whom completely lost their way and separated from the church.Read it, reflect on the narratives, and praise God for a Spirit that has allowed the survival of a church that has subsequently blessed millions.
Dr. Valentine is FANTASTIC in his scope of understanding and ability to share the struggles and the blessings experienced by the leader Ellen G. White and her charisma. If you thought you knew about SDA church history...you'll be surprised at how much you don't! Pick it up, give it a read. The quotes from letters and journals...amazing.
This is a well written treatise about the inner circle of the Seventh-Day Adventist church at its inception and during its first sixty years. Its spiritual leader, Ellen G. White, is revealed in an honest and insightful manner; one can see why God chose her to lead this great movement.
