Today, I'd just like to tell about a book which I recently purchased and read. It's mainly for the benefit of members of my church who sometimes read this blog.... In an earlier post called "Learning From The Past," March 4, 2019, I mentioned that there are comparisons between the blacks overcoming slavery and gay rights; and a lady named Ellen White was one of the founders of my church and was a respected author.... Someone wrote a book about her comments about the Civil War in the USA.... The book which I've finished reading is called, "The Enduring Legacy of Ellen G. White and Social Justice," edited or compiled by Jonathan A. Thompson, D.Min., copyright 2017 and printed by Pacific Press.
The Social Justice book is a compilation of presentations that were made by professors and ministers at a symposium at Oakwood University, in Alabama.... Oakwood is a school run by my church for black people. In the book, there was also a reference to a book by Ellen White, Testimonies, volume 9. There are a few chapters specifically about the black people in this book and I appreciated reading them also. Some of her information is now out of date, since our society has changed a lot and the writing was done over 100 years ago...but I find some of it is still helpful and relevant....
Would like to recommend the above resources to members of my church.
