Spiritual Gifts Vol. II. My Christian Experience, Views, and Labors 1860: “The Testimony of Jesus Christ” (Spiritual Gifts Vol. I – IV)

“Spiritual Gifts” was, and is, the general title of four of Ellen White’s earliest published books. They were originally published as separate volumes with their individual subtitles:SPIRITUAL GIFTS. THE GREAT CONTROVERSY (1858);SPIRITUAL GIFTS. MY CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE, VIEWS, AND LABORS (1860);SPIRITUAL GIFTS. IMPORTANT FACTS OF FAITH (1864);SPIRITUAL GIFTS. IMPORTANT FACTS OF FAITH: LAWS OF HEALTH AND Testimonies Nos. 1-10. (1864).For many years they have been combined, two volumes each, in two books as “SPIRITUAL GIFTS. VOLS. I-II & VOLS. III-IV. This present printing returns them to their original, separate book format, and presents them in large print; convenient for all ages.Spiritual Gifts, Vol. II, My Christian Experience,Views and Labors In Connection with the Rise and Progress of the Third Angel’s Message. Published 1860 by James White in Battle Creek, Michigan; a book of 304 pages. The following comes from the Preface of volume II:”Having borne my testimony, and scattered, several books containing my visions, in the Eastern, Middle, and Western States, and formed many happy acquaintances, I have felt it my duty to give to my friends and to the world a sketch of my Christian experience, visions, and labors in connection with the rise and progress of the third angel’s message. . . .”As the cry of Mormonism is often raised, especially in the west, at the introduction of the Bible argument of the perpetuity of spiritual gifts, I have felt anxious that my brethren should know what my experience has been, and where it has been. “When at Knoxville, Iowa, March, 1860, we learned that a man had been reporting that he knew me and my husband twenty years ago, when we were leaders among the Mormans [Mormons] at Nauvoo! At that time I was only twelve years old! “The statements in this work, backed up by the testimonies of those who have been personally acquainted with my experience and labors for the past sixteen years, may help the minds of some. The tongue of slander will not harm unworthy me. It has been with the hope to benefit, in some degree, the cause of truth, that I have prepared this work. And may God add his blessing, that it may feed and cheer the little flock.” E. G. W.Chapter Titles:Chapter I. My Misfortune. Chapter II. The Advent Faith.Chapter III. Feelings of Despair.Chapter IV.
