100 years after Ellen G. White's death, her statement about her writings is truer than ever! 

Since White's death on July 16, 1915, literally hundreds of millions of her books have been printed. In fact, in just a brief two years the Great Hope Project (2012-2013) resulted in approximately 170 million copies of White's Great Controversy being distributed throughout the world. 

And as print books have lessened in popularity, White's writings have effortlessly transitioned to digital. Every day on the web thousands access her writings at egwwritings.org and other sites, and her quotes have garnered innumerable posts, shares, and tweets on social media. People all across the globe have her words on the ready on their phones, tablets, laptops, notebooks, pcs, mp3s, watches, and glasses. 

Ellen White is credited as "the most translated woman writer in the entire history of literature, and the most translated American author of either gender." Last year, the Smithsonian named her one of the 100 most significant Americans (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/…/meet-100-most-significant…/…). 

An untold number of souls can trace their conversions to the writings of Mrs. White. There is no doubt at all that White's writings "will go forward as long as time shall last."
