Education by Ellen White

In today’s highly competitive world, education is considered to be the deciding factor for success and prosperity, yet it has obviously failed to produce peace and morality. Children are growing up with no respect for their fellow beings. Nations are on the brink of disaster and ruin unless crimes and immorality are not soon restrained. History clearly reveals our mistakes, yet mandated reforms by government authority have only produced rebellion and violence. Are there no answers to this dilemma?

This book is filled with exciting solutions to the current baffling perplexities as seen by the public’s eye. From these pages, written in simple, easy-to-understand language, you will discover the essential element to true education is the harmonious development of the three essential human characteristics: physical, mental, and spiritual.

These soul-inspiring words provide understanding where many others have failed. Regardless of the knowledge we have in one or two of the three characteristics of physical, mental, or spiritual, we will ultimately be unbalanced and continue to fail. However, when these three are developed together according to God’s plan, we will discover and live the truth that makes us free.

Each of us must face the realistic circumstances of daily life, its failures and defeats as well as its responsibilities and opportunities for success. How essential, therefore, that we prepare ourselves mentally, especially during childhood, to meet these experiences from a perspective based upon godly principles! Principles that recognize God as the source of all wisdom and the great Teacher of true education.
