Description

This book does not offer a rigid set of rules for dealing with immorality, infidelity, or unscriptural divorce and remarriage. Moral problems are complex, and the Holy Spirit must serve as a divine Guide and Counselor to help those who are grappling with difficulties in this area of life. Many of the letters in this volume were addressed to ministers and other gospel workers. Yet, in spite of the faults and sins of those to whom she wrote, Ellen White ever had great confidence in the ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist church. She was concerned to elevate moral standards and also to provide encouragement and hope to those who felt their situation was beyond human solution. Thus her letters dealing with moral problems contain warnings and appeals that continue to have relevance today.
