“OK; so what do you know about Ellen White?” The question was fairly innocuous—a simple query about a historical person posed to a group of teenagers in a Bible class. I stood at the front of the room; ready to write their responses on the smart board. What followed was a torrent of wild answers that scarcely seemed to be about the same person; or any person for that matter. To my great delight; the students rewarded me with a biographical sketch that belonged in a game of Mad Libs: “She hated bread.” “Cheese is poison.” “Stopped breathing during visions.” “She was a bazillion years old.” “Wrote a lot of books.” “Didn’t like black pepper.” “Didn’t like tea.” “She was hit by a rock.” Seth Pierce does it again! In Ellen White for Teens; he takes a challenging topic and explores it with insight; wisdom; and humor—in a language that teens will understand. Topics include: Did Ellen Ever Make Mistakes? What’s the Difference Between Her Books and the Bible? Are You Gonna Eat That? Ellen and Us Seth writes; “My prayer is that you will become a friend of Ellen’s. You may find her challenging; aggravating; beautiful; confusing; or inspiring—or all of these at the same time—but that’s true of anybody we have a close relationship with. Above all; I hope you hear a voice that will point you to Jesus. Her voice matters; and I hope you can begin to hear it in the pages of this book.”
