Video
The first chapter of the 1858 Great Controversy Between Christ and His Angels and Satan and His Angels book has been made into a Flash animated movie. Many people especially in S.E. Asia have found this movie to be very interesting, in helping them to grasp visually what the words in this book are saying. Many children are surprised to see Satan as a beautiful angel, as they only know him as an ugly beast with hooves and horns!

good angel   The Great Controversy Between Christ and His Angels, and Satan and His Angels - (1858).   bad angel NOTICE: This is the ORIGINAL Great Controversy that very few people have ever read. Later versions with quotes from historical authors etc. were published in 1884, 1888, & 1911, but this one, 100% from the pen of Ellen White, is very powerful! This book is now often called "Spiritual Gifts Vol.1".

The Seven Trumpets by James White (1875) put on internet to show that we need to study to go beyond what our pioneer fathers taught. The final fulfillment of the 7 Trumpets cannot be in the past, as no one yet (2010) has received the Seal of God in their foreheads!

Does anyone have any clues on someone to translate the 1858 Great Controversy book into Chinese? It's been translated 2 1/3 times into Chinese already, but still cannot be used as the 2 completed translations are not faithful. It is hard to find people who really take this book to heart, who want to spread it. It is nice to hear tho, once in a while of people working to spread this 2nd most important book in the whole world :) Your prayers are especially desired.
Take me to the download page for books by Ellen White, such as first edition of The Great Controversy, A Word to the Little Flock, Christian Experience & Views, Supplement, Testimonies to the Church, and William Miller's or Joseph Bates' books now.
