Life Sketches of Ellen G White / White, Ellen G / (HB/1943-1946/B+/USED)

Condition note: Book is in very sturdy gently used for its age and lightly marked. A page corner has been ripped and repaired--years ago, as the tape is age discolored.

These sketches are largely autobiographical. Written simply, they record in vivid manner her remarkable experiences as the accepted mouthpiece of the Advent Movement.
