Throughout the entire 70 years of Ellen White's ministry God gave her counsels that instructed and strengthened the Advent movement as it developed from a scattered band of believers into a global church with a clear sense of mission. Counsels in the present volume deal with a wide range of topics from fanaticism; sensational teachings; and false religious movements to unwise affiliations; the use of medicinal agencies; comfort to the aged; and remuneration for the Christian workers. General counsels include such topics as voting; proper attitude in prayer; and miraculous healing. The seven messages that make up the final section of the book brim with confidence in the ultimate triumph of the church.
