Even though the pamphlet contained only sixty-four pages, A Sketch of the Christian Experience and Views of Ellen G. White, with more than twenty chapters, is considered the first Ellen G. White book. Most of the chapters were a reprinting of her messages to the church, first published in broadsides or articles. As the entire work was republished in 1882 and is the first section of Early Writings, the reader is referred to these early materials as may be found in his own library. 1BIO 214.5
