Volume two of the Ellen G. White biography traces the development of James and Ellen White’s leadership roles in the infant Adventist church. By 1875; their roles were well-defined–James as apostle and organizer; Ellen as messenger of the Lord. The events covered in this volume include the health reform vision of 1863; organization of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists; establishment of Battle Creek College; and the beginnings of a church-sponsored journal; a publishing house; and a medical institution in the West. J. N. Andrews was sent as a missionary; camp meetings were introduced; and Ellen White became a much-sought-after public speaker and a prolific author. James and Ellen became advocates of good health and urged reform.
