AND IN ORDER TO PERFORM THAT TASK WELL, \n SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST PARENTS ARE LOOKING FOR ALL THE HELP THEY CAN POSSIBLY \n FIND. \n ELLEN G. WHITE HAS WRITTEN MUCH AND VERY VALUABLE COUNSEL FOR PARENTS. SHE HAS \n TOUCHED UPON EVERY PHASE OF THE HOME, AND OFFERS SPECIFIC INSTRUCTION ON MANY \n OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH GIVE SO MUCH CONCERN TO THOUGHTFUL AND OFTEN ANXIOUS \n PARENTS TODAY. SOME YEARS BEFORE HER DEATH, SHE INDICATED HER DESIRE TO GET \n OUT \"A BOOK FOR CHRISTIAN PARENTS\" THAT WOULD DEFINE \"THE MOTHER'S DUTY AND \n INFLUENCE OVER HER CHILDREN.\" IN THE PRESENT WORK AN ENDEAVOR HAS BEEN MADE \n TO FULFILL THIS EXPECTATION. \n THIS BOOK, THE ADVENTIST HOME, IS AT ONCE A SORT OF HANDBOOK OR MANUAL FOR BUSY \n PARENTS, AND A PATTERN OR IDEAL OF WHAT THE HOME CAN AND SHOULD BECOME. HERE \n ARE THE ANSWERS TO YOUR MANY QUESTIONS, THE WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE \n HEAVENLY FATHER. \n IN COMPILING THIS WORK, EXCERPTS HAVE BEEN DRAWN FROM THE ELLEN G. WHITE \n WRITINGS PENNED THROUGH SEVEN DECADES, BUT ESPECIALLY FROM THE THOUSANDS OF \n E. G. WHITE ARTICLES WHICH WERE PREPARED FOR THE JOURNALS OF THE DENOMINATION. \n THE CURRENT PUBLISHED WORKS, SPECIAL TESTIMONIES ISSUED IN PAMPHLET FORM, AND \n THE E. G. WHITE MANUSCRIPT FILES HAVE ALSO ENRICHED THE VOLUME. APPROPRIATE \n SOURCE CREDITS ARE GIVEN IN CONNECTION WITH EACH CHAPTER. AS THE EXCERPTS \n DRAWN FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES \n 6 \n WRITTEN AT DIFFERENT TIMES ARE LINKED TOGETHER IN THEIR LOGICAL SEQUENCE, THERE","bbox":{"left":0.117647,"top":0.464809,"width":0.764958,"height":0.440412}}],"images_bbox":[{"left":0.324755,"top":0.106061,"width":0.352941,"height":0.29072}],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[{"left":0.324755,"top":0.106061,"width":0.352941,"height":0.29072}]}
