Regarding Words of the Pioneers, First Edition

Thank you so much for the copy of "Words of the Pioneers". I know that this disk will make a significant and positive contribution to the access of Adventist materials.
- Merlin Burt, Director, White Estate Branch Office, Loma Linda University [Current position: Director, Center for Adventist Research, Andrews Unviersity]

Regarding Words of the Pioneers, Second Edition

I received the second edition of "Words of the Pioneers" and I want to thank you. We have been looking forward to the next edition and greatly appreciate the work you have done.
- Tim Poirier, Assistant Director/Archivist, Ellen G. White Estate [Current position: Vice-Director, Ellen G. White Estate]

The service that you and the others associated with the Adventist Pioneer Library project are providing our church is incalculable. To think about so many of the early publications of our pioneers being available on one small disc would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. I spent years collecting shelves full of books in the Heritage Room at Loma Linda University just to equal what is on this one CD-ROM. And now anyone can have access to the same information, and be able to research it in a fraction of the time it would take to look the same thing up in all those original volumes. As I said, the service that you and the others working with you are providing the church can't be easily expressed in words. May God continue to bless you and the others in your very specialized ministry is my prayer.
- James R. Nix, Vice Director, Ellen G. White Estate [Current position: Secretary, Ellen G. White Estate]

An excellent complement to the Ellen G. White material... In my opinion, one of the most interesting items in the collection is the complete text of the first thirteen years of the Review and Herald, extending to the year the General Conference was organized... This is an important resource at a reasonable price.

Regarding the Work of the Adventist Pioneer Library

Because "remembering" is essential to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the words and works of the Advent-movement pioneers need to be given prominence. We are pleased with the skillful, professional efforts put forth to accomplish this, by the Pioneer Library officers and staff. Through books, periodicals, and CD-ROM, the messages of the pioneers are being heard, and their influence felt. We trust that the work of the Adventist Pioneer Library will increase and strengthen as earth's final crisis approaches.
- Kenneth Wood, President, Ellen G. White Estate

For years I have been impressed with the attempts of the Adventist Pioneer Library committee. Making available to the general membership instant access to early publications of our church is invaluable for study and research. We have been told that the writings of the pioneers should testify to future generations how the truth was established among us. In the past people could study these pioneer sources only in two or three places in the world. Now they are available to anyone who desire them. It is my earnest hope that the Lord will impress prospective donors to generously support this vital work of making available to our members world-wide the complete witness of the pioneers. We should not rest until this goal is obtained.
- P. Gerard Damsteegt, Associate Professor of Church History, SDA Theological Seminary

This is practical material which needs wide exposure. The confidence these resources will give about the Lord's leading in our denomination's history will encourage members everywhere to face the future in assurance and hope.
- James A. Cress, Ministerial Association Secretary, General Conference of SDA
