Ellen G. White
Ellen White was deeply involved and interested in broadcasting the gospel to the world through the written word. It is no surprise that her counsel concerning publishing covers a wide range of topics that still apply today: fair treatment of authors and workers, literature evangelism, marketing of books and periodicals, Christlike leadership, high standards for materials published and for individuals who work in the publishing ministry, and the careful management of finances by the institutions and individual workers, and more.
The history of this vital work is also recounted, including he purpose for which these institutions were established, and the consequences of following worldly business practices. “We are not only to publish the theory of the truth, but to represent a practical illustration of it in character and life. Our publishing institutions are to stand before the world as an embodiment of Christian principles.”
