An overview of the book The Great Controversy highlighting the major themes outlined in Mrs. White's classic, timeless book. Attention will be given to critical principles to know for end-time living with an emphasis on having personal application. Ellen White viewed the book The Great Controversy with high regard. She says, "The Great Controversy should be very widely circulated. It contains the story of the past, the present, and the future. In its outline of the closing scenes of this earth's history, it bears a powerful testimony in behalf of the truth. I am more anxious to see a wide circulation for this book than for any others I have written, for in The Great Controversy, the last message of warning to the world is given more distinctly than in any of my other books." (Letter 281, 1905)
