True Education / White, Ellen G / (PB/2000-2000/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is well but gently used and has moderate marking in spots. *

Almost one hundred years ago, Ellen White published her classic book, Education. In it she set forth the unique and challenging idea that "the work of education and the work of redemption are one." The goal of all learning is to understand more about our Creator-Redeemer and to reflect that understanding in our personal lives.

In the century that has passed since Education first appeared, the principles of true education have not changed. But the words we use and the way we express our thoughts have changed significantly. Thus, for the benefit of today's generation, the Ellen G. White Estate has produced the current volume, True Education, an adaptation of Education. The message of the original book has not been changed, but words whose meanings have changed have been replaced by today's vocabulary; long sentences have been shortened, and the focus of the book has been sharpened by removing needles repetition. The result is a fresh look at the principles that make up true education in its broadest sense. Here are insights to guide not only parents, teachers, and young people who are involved in formal education, but all of us who continue our education in the great school of life.

To recognize God as the Source of all wisdom, to realize the full potential of every physical, mental, and moral ability, to prepare for life, both here and for eternity--this is true education.
