It's All About Jesus: Observations of a Former Seventh-Day Adventist
by Edith Fairman Cooper
Edith was inspired to conduct objective historical research about the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) church after a brief encounter with an SDA friend who said, “You know what they say about Adventists.” A brief conversation changed her life forever. Edith had worked a little over 30 years (at the time that she began her research for the book) at the Library of Congress in the Congressional Research Service (as an Analyst in Social Science) and conducted objective research for the U.S. Congress on social and behavioral science issues, including briefly, religion. She used the same objective approach to reexamine the SDA church for her own knowledge.
Edith is now retired from the LC after 35 years and just completed her book of 473 pages in 2007. The book is easy to read for the laymen and well documented. This book presents her findings, some of her experiences as an active SDA member for over twenty-six years, and relates why she and her family left Adventism and now embrace mainstream Christianity.
Exposing Seventh-day Adventism
by Russell E. Kelly
Seventh-day Adventism entices members into it using trickery and half-truths. They tell the unenlightened public one thing and insiders yet another.
Dr. Kelly explains how he was tricked into joining. He then refutes the theological fiasco called the Investigative Judgment which created the sect. Much of the book looks at the Sabbath with fresh insight. The final part reveals the mysterious realms of Sheol and Hades in order to expose SDA error about the soul.
A former SDA pastor, Russell E. Kelly has served churches in Georgia, North Dakota and South Carolina. In 2000 he received a Ph. D. at Covington Theological Seminary in Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia. Russ lives in Acworth, Georgia.

This is a great book that covers EGW's claims for inspiration, doctrinal authority, health reform, contradictions, plagiarism, her second coming of Christ visions, and the shut door. This would be a wonderful book to give your SDA friends that are in bondage to Ellen White.
