Steps to Christ: How to Become and Remain a Christian

Randall Balmer has described Ellen Gould White (1827-1915) as "One of the more important and colorful figures in the history of American religion." White is the most translated female non-fiction author in the history of literature, as well as the most translated American non-fiction author of either gender. Her writings covered theology, evangelism, Christian lifestyle, education and health (she also advocated vegetarianism). She was a leader who emphasized education and health, and promoted the establishment of schools and medical centers. During her lifetime she wrote more than 5,000 periodical articles and 40 books; but today, including compilations from her 50,000 pages of manuscript, more than 100 titles are available in English. Some of her more popular books include "Steps to Christ," "The Desire of Ages," and "The Great Controversy."
