5.0 out of 5 starsBook Available for under $20.00
By Jose I. Martinez on October 17, 2007
Format: Hardcover
Book Available for under $20.00 at Truth Bookstore at [...] 1-800-428-0121. I bought some of the referenced books (the ones she plagarized) and compared them to her actual books. I did find they did in fact were copied. I got some of the books she copied from. They are very, very old, 1800 - 1900's at several antique stores. I put White books side to side with those antique books and she dis in fact copied from them, in some cases word by word. I do not just rely on the author Rea, I did my own little research and came to the same conclusions. I am an ex-Adventist. Was Adventist since 10 years old, now I am 42 and realize I was deceived by the SDA. There is more to it, the White State, has a safe where they hide her "God Ispired" unpublished writings. If they are inspired from God to the world, why are they hidden in a vault in Washington by the White Estate? Because they contain so many contradictions and will "raise too many questions" they say.

If the book is sold out at store referenced above you can read an almost identical content of the whole book for free at: [...] "E.G. White: The Inspired Prophet?"

5.0 out of 5 starsA Bitter Pill
By Braden Rico on July 14, 2004
Format: Hardcover
I found this book to be well written and researched. It takes a hard look at the people and movements that set themselves up as divinely inspired, demanding that all accept whatever "truth" is proclaimed from the mountain top without questioning the backroom manipulations of the message. If you are a Seventh-day Adventist looking for something to boost your faith in Ellen White, the SDA pioneer or "prophetess", be forewarned that this book will prove to be a bitter pill to swallow. Rea exposes the lie that Ellen White wrote her own material. She borrowed liberally from writers of her time. The author provides full documentation of White's borrowings and gives an account of the church's efforts to stifle his inquiry. Readers may find that Rea applies sarcasm too thickly to his subject but that does not detract from its central message.

4.0 out of 5 starsReveals that Angels were not Mrs. White's true source
By A Customer on July 17, 1999
Format: Paperback
Mr. Rea was a Seventh-day Adventist pastor who was totally devoted to the writings of Ellen G. White. In his devotion he decided to read books that Mrs. White was known to own and read. What he found in these other books was the same sequence of thought, wording, and word for word quotes that Mrs. White claimed as her own.
After further investigation, Mr Rea found incontrivertable proof of extensive plagerism by Mrs. White. Through numerous side by side comparisons, Mr. Rea shows proof positive that instead of being a phophet, Mrs. Whate was a plagerist.
This book is a must read for any one considering joining the Seventh-day Adventist church or for any SDA who s open-minded enough to accept the truth about their church and its founder.

5.0 out of 5 starsDon't be afraid of the truth
By Lee J. Farrell on August 10, 2001
Format: Paperback
The SDA church has tried to counter the plagerism issue by stating that the Bible itself contains copied work from other writers.
This book shows that even Ellen White's "visions" contianed word for word quotes from published authors before her, that she elevated her writings as equal to the Bible by stating that to doubt her was to doubt God himself, and reveals a cover up by the church itself regarding her revelations. Find failed predictions by Mrs. White and how she abandoned the theology of the "Shut Door" after it was clear that Jesus was not coming back in her lifetime.

4.0 out of 5 starsA Shaky Foundation
By A Customer on September 1, 2001
Format: Hardcover
Ellen Gould Harmond White, her personal opinions and teachings, are the very foundation of the church. Everything they say, teach, and preach can be traced in someway or the other back down to her. If this foundation remains weak and broken, where does that leave the SDA Church? It leaves it weak and broken, just like their mother Mrs. White. This book makes that clear. Ellen White's "angels" were other books which she copied to an amazing length. What sort of prophetess is this? I fear that Adventists won't get the clue before it's too late, and all they'll hear will be "O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" (St. Matthew 3:7)

4.0 out of 5 starsI am giving this book 4 stars rather than 5 ...
By Benjamin Breece on November 24, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I am giving this book 4 stars rather than 5 stars because Walter Rea takes a very derogatory and sarcastic attitude, such as regularly likening Ellen White to a pawn shop owner, trying to sell her stuff. I can understand this because he seems to have been genuinely mistreated by the church in their reaction to his revelations. He has a big axe to grind, and it shows. That being said, he presents a lot of documentation that Adventists need to see. I grew up in the Adventist church and I can tell you that anything Ellen White wrote (or, more accurately, appeared in her books, considering how much she "borrowed") is represented as coming from God. Walter Rea shows irrefutably that an enormous amount of the material in her books did not originate with her. The Adventist Church has tried to distract its members from the real issue by declaring that what she did wasn't legally classified as plagiarism at the time. The issue is not whether she broke the law. The issue is her honesty and the honesty of the church with its members. The church still has not gone through and provided citations and footnotes in her books, so that the members can see what was borrowed and what originated with her. They still try to implicitly represent everything as being original to her. And they say she was a prophetess, making her works divinely inspired. I still hold out the possibility that she did receive some visions, but she definitely lied about the origins of her works by denying that she ever borrowed from other authors. Therefore, her books cannot be authoritative. And the church is still trying to whitewash her thievery and present her books a divinely inspired.

Jeremiah 23:30
"Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour."
