Early Writings stands as one of Ellen G. White's most significant compilations, containing her foundational visions and experiences from 1844-1851. This work includes three sections: 'Christian Experience and Views,' 'Supplement,' and 'Spiritual Gifts.' The book preserves the iconic vision of the narrow path with believers traveling toward Heaven, encouraged by bright light shining behind representing the midnight cry. White's visions of the sanctuary, three angels' messages, and Sabbath truth provided theological foundation for emerging Advent movement. The work includes solemn warnings about fanaticism, counsel on health reform, descriptions of heaven and the new earth, and urgent appeals for preparation before probation closes.
