My copy was given as a birthday gift by my college best friend and her now-husband. I was grateful for the opportunity to read such book. I cannot say for all readers out there, but if you're actually going to follow the advice in this book, you won't read fiction anymore. Right now, I'm torn between praising and criticizing its contents. Christian youth may find it amazing while atheist may find it somewhat repulsive.

Messages to Young People, Ellen G. White-“However large, however small, your talents, remember that what you have is yours only in trust. Thus God is testing you, giving you opportunity to prove yourself true. To Him you are indebted for all your capabilities. To Him belong your powers of body, mind, and soul, and for Him these powers are to be used. Your time, your influence, your capabilities, your skill,—all must be accounted for to Him who gives all. He uses his gifts best who seeks by earnest endeavor to carry out the Lord’s great plan for the uplifting of humanity.” (White, p. 48)
