Ellen White in her will instructed her trustees to prepare compilations from her writings, and since her death in 1915 quite a number have been prepared. Technically speaking, compilations are books that consist of many brief quotations on a specific topic arranged in a reasonable order and grouped together in chapters by a compiler. Because these quotations are taken from their original literary context, compilations tend to jump abruptly from one statement to an-other. Compilations of Ellen White’s writings were prepared for different purposes and thus may be divided into at least three main categories. UEGW 122.1
