As the Seventh-day Adventist movement has grown in all parts of the world, members who speak and read the various languages have yearned for the "Testimonies for the Church," which, in full or in part, have edified and blessed the church throughout the world. It is not possible to publish in each language the full content of the nine "Testimony" volumes and the many other Spirit of Prophecy books. There is presented in this volume, however, a selection of general counsels drawn from these sources which will prove of great service and practical help to the church. The selection of materials, which have been conveniently grouped in the sixty-six chapters of this volume, is the work of the Trustees of the Ellen G. White Estate. It has been a painstaking task to gather, arrange, translate, and publish in this book a comprehensive selection of materials from the many E. G. White books. Because of the limitation of space, only the more essential counsels on vital themes could be included. Even this presents a wide range of subjects. [From the Foreword]

A manual of the so-called simple cautions and points of light and love of the world's most celebrated mystic, introduced by Thomas Merton.

Guidelines on a Healthy Diet Decades before many physiologists were concerned with the close relationship between diet and health, Ellen G. White in her writings clearly pointed out the connection between the food we eat and our physical and spiritual welfare. In her discourses and writings from 1863 onward, she discussed frequently the importance of diet and adequate nutrition. Her counsels, as preserved in pamphlets and books, in the journals of the denomination, and in personal testimonies, have exerted a strong influence on the dietetic habits of Seventh-day Adventists, and indirectly have left their impress upon the general public. In assembling the materials comprising Counsels on Diet and Foods, an effort was made to include the full range of instruction on the subject from Mrs. White's pen. The resulting compilation is unique for it presents the counsels clustered topically under a general heading, with no attempt to provide a continuity in reading.

The spiritual counsels of Mark, a fifth century monk in Asia Minor, are equally rich in theological insight and historical interest. His writings were deeply valued by Byzantine ascetics, were circulated during the Reformation, and were read by Lutheran divines and Roman theologians. The general level of interest in his works during the first half of the second millennium is eloquently reported in a fourteenth century manuscript, as a slogan often repeated by monastics and ascetics: Sell everything and buy Mark. His words on taking responsibility for one another out of love, his practical advice on the need for repentance, and his strident emphasis on the kind of unity evident in Christ directly relate to modern Christians and may provide a useful point of departure for ecumenical dialogue. This is the 37th book in the Popular Patristic series from St Vladimir's Seminary Press. This book contains two volumes bound in one book.

Spurgeon's counsel is given with a warm regard to encourage and inspire. His pithy analysis continues to inspire Christian workers to achieve great things through their ministries.

Excerpt from Counsel Upon the Reading of BooksWhen it comes to making a book out of lectures of this kind, I must frankly confess that the enterprise has its disadvantages. It adds another volume to Shelves which are already overcrowded. It necessarily loses one of the best factors in the delivery of the lectures: the personality of the speakers. However much books may do for us, living teachers, of the right kind, can always do more. SO far as my own part in the vol ume is concerned, it has a very superfluous aspect, a preface to an introduction, a porch to a portico.Yet I suppose there are some advantages in the publication of such a volume. And I am sure that the proper line to be followed by the person who has to write the preface is to point out these advantages as clearly as he can.First of all, then, it seems to me a matter of some interest to Observe that the lecturers look at the subject from different sides. The difference arises not merely from the fact that each lecturer has a distinct and specific theme. It is a difference of temper ament, of method, of the point of View.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A disciple of Elder Joseph the Hesychast, Elder Ephraim has, over the past couple of decades, ventured out from Mt. Athos to plant monastic communities in North America. We offer many books by and about the Desert Fathers, and truly their voices are living voices. But we would go a step further and say that their lives are not distant examples, but are immediately incarnate in the lives and writings of such as Elder Ephraim, who walks among us today. His counsels have a similar pristine and primitive urgency, compelling in their simplicity the way that the Scriptures are. We can and must read the Fathers, and the Philokalia and its offspring, but always remember that the practice of their precepts is the crucial thing. We have a contemporary example here in the life and writings of Elder Ephraim, his mentors and disciples.

Although these selections are directed primarily at priests, the laity may profit greatly from the present book. The words of St John are for everyone who desires to devote more attention to their souls and raise their thought to God. St John believed that every person, insofar as he is devout, could draw near to God, the Theotokos, and the saints. These Counsels on the Christian Priesthood encourage us to open our hears to prayer, which can enliven, strengthen and even heal our souls and bodies.

One of 60 low-priced classic texts published to celebrate Penguin's 60th anniversary. All the titles are extracts from "Penguin Classics" titles.

100 years before the terms "organic", "local" and "sustainable" were in vogue, Mrs. Ellen G. White was urging her readers to return to the land. The industrial revolution was pulling people from their agrarian roots, and she foresaw the end results. Although the world was heralding a new age of progress, she was lamenting a turning away from the "old paths." In this volume you will find counsels for parents, teachers and school administrators, gospel and healthcare workers, farmers, and anyone else who wants to come closer to God's ideal lifestyle. Unlike many who preach one thing while practicing another, Mrs. White was a passionate gardener. Reading diary entries and letters about her own work in the garden will encourage and amaze you. Although this counsel is dated, it is particularly relevant to those living in the 21st century as they navigate through the technological revolution. May the reader hear the call back to God's original garden plan. The compiler has searched the author's original manuscripts and letters to find context and to discover previously unpublished "gems". As you read, you will be challenged, motivated and inspired to experience the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits promised to those who work the soil.
