Reddit reviews Seventh-Day Adventists Believe

Reading this makes my heart happy. I'm absolutely sure that Heaven will be full of people like you, who were wooed to God's quiet calling.

One book that I can highly recommend for a more clear and concise view of Adventist beliefs can be found here: SDA Believe Book. I am not someone who was raised as an Adventist, but the reason I am one today is because they follow most closely what the Bible actually says and, because of this, a true, logical, and beautiful picture of the character of God is painted.

I know you want to go more lightly on Ellen White but I can't help but recommend "The Desire of Ages". It's a powerful glimpse into the awesome story of redemption, and presents a staggering view of Christ's great love for humanity.

The next book I want to recommend is a theodicy written by one of my favorite pastors. It's called "God in Pain" by David Asscherick.

I hope you're able to check out these resources. Blessings to you. I'll be praying for God's continued leading in you and your family's walk with Him.
