An Adventist home is a home where Seventh-day Adventist standards and practices are lived and taught, a place in which fathers and mothers are commissioned by Christ to go and make Christians of the members of their own households. And in order to perform that task well, Seventh-day Adventist parents are looking for all the help they can possibly find.
Ellen G. White has written very valuable counsel for parents. She has touched upon every phase of the home, and offers specific instruction on many of the problems which give so much concern to thoughtful and often anxious parents today. Some years before her death, she indicated her desire to get out “a book for Christian parents” that would define “the mother's duty and influence over her children.” In the present work an endeavor has been made to fulfill this expectation.
This book, The Adventist Home, is at once a sort of handbook, or manual, for busy parents, and a pattern, or ideal, of what the home can and should become. Here are the answers to your many questions, the words of wisdom from the Heavenly Father.
In compiling this work, excerpts have been drawn from the Ellen G. White writings penned through seven decades, but especially from the thousands of E. G. White articles which were prepared for the journals of the denomination. The current published works, special testimonies issued in pamphlet form, and the E. G. White manuscript files have also enriched the volume. Appropriate source credits are given in connection with each chapter. As the excerpts drawn from different sources and written at different times are linked together in their logical sequence, there may be occasionally a slight unavoidable break in thought or manner of address, for the compilers are limited in their work to selecting and arranging the subject matter and supplying the headings (AH 5.4).
This document has been prepared in the office of the Ellen G. White Publications. The work has been done in harmony with Mrs. White's instruction to her trustees in providing “for the printing of compilations” from her manuscripts, for they contain, she said, “instruction that the Lord has given me for His people.”
Never in the history of the world has a book like this been needed more urgently than it is right now. Never have parents and children been more anxious for the right answer to the things which trouble them. Never have homes been in such jeopardy as they are today.
Every one of us knows that conditions in society are but a reflection of conditions in the homes of the nation. We, likewise, know that a change in the home will be mirrored in a changed society. To this end, this volume, The Adventist Home, has been prepared as a part of the Christian Home Library.
