Stories From Sunnyside: Ellen White in Australia 1891-1900: A Review

"Marian de Berg has created a jewel that combines the talents of a storyteller and a serious historian. This delightful account of Ellen White’s time in Australia is supported by meticulous research and will become required reading for denominational scholars.” – Dr John Hammond, former Director of Education, Australian Union Conference.

I really enjoyed this recently published book. Many of the stories in this book have never been previously published. Not only does the book tell of her leadership in the growth of the Seventh-day Adventist church in Australia but as Jim Nix director of the Ellen G White Estate states:

While the leadership Ellen White gave the church in Australia was important, her impressive attempt to emulate the loving actions of Jesus in her own life are as much a part of Stories from Sunnyside. It is no wonder that her neighbors, including those not of Ellen White’s religious faith, loved and respected her; likewise, those who knew Ellen White best and worked with her most closely during the years she lived half-way around the world from her home country. Getting to know more of the real Ellen White-who she was and what she was like on a daily basis- will enrich your reading of her writings.
