Overview
Our lives unfold through countless stories. We experience joy and sorrow, triumph and failure, hope and longing. But what if our stories are part of something far bigger than we ever imagined? The Great Controversy opens a window into that larger narrative: the cosmic conflict between good and evil that began in heaven and continues on earth today. It traces this struggle through pivotal moments in history, including the rise and fall of nations, the faithfulness of God’s people amidst persecution, and the ongoing unfolding of events foretold in Bible prophecy. Woven throughout is the assurance of God’s love and justice, as history moves toward His final triumph over sin and suffering. This book invites us to see our stories as part of God’s story—to understand where we have come from and where we are going—all in the light of His love.

Editorial Updates
Great care was taken to preserve the integrity of Ellen White’s ideas while gently refining the reading experience. The result is a text that remains true to the original yet feels clear and inviting for today’s audience.
Most Bible quotations use the New King James Version (NKJV) instead of the King James Version (KJV). Select words were updated when they were archaic and unfamiliar to contemporary readers, or when their meaning has shifted since the nineteenth century.

About Ellen White
Ellen White was a renowned speaker, reformer, and spiritual leader who dedicated her life to spreading the message of God’s love for humanity. Her thousands of letters and magazine articles and dozens of books make her the most translated nonfiction author in history, which led Smithsonian magazine to declare her one of the “100 most significant Americans of all time.” These writings, stemming from her love for Jesus and compassion for people, continue to inspire readers around the world and are part of her enduring legacy as a minister of the gospel.
