1. An Adventist and a Catholic, by Paul Eirene, C.Ss.R. This book, written by a Catholic priest, is a personal encounter with Seventh-day Adventism. It consists of letters exchanged between the author, and an Adventist friend. It captures the deep spirituality of Catholicism and compares it quite objectively with Adventism. I read this book and was stunned at the contrast between the incredibly spiritual depth of Catholic teaching and the message of the Bible on the one hand, and the Adventist attempt to read things into the Bible and bring back the Old Covenant Sabbath on the other hand. Truly one of the best books I have read on the Catholic view of the Sabbath and other Adventist teachings. This is really a MUST for any Catholic interested in Adventism, or any Adventist interested in Catholicism. The book was translated from the original Slovak.

2. Seventh-day Adventism - The Spirit Behind The Church - video by Grace Upon Gr ace Productions. A real eye-opener about the teachings of Ellen White and the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This is what is written on the back of the video:

This hard-hitting, eye-opening documentary explores the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, its origins, and the changes which have occurred throughout the years. It examines the claims of the religion's founder, the late prophetess Ellen G. White, and compares her unique beliefs with Biblical truth.

You will meet a number of former high-ranking Seventh-day Adventist Church leaders, many of them 4th generation members, and discover what happened when they embarked on a journey to uncover the truth about their organization. You will be shocked and amazed at what they found.

"For those who may agree or for those who strongly disagree, viewers of this documentary will find it a most fascinating exploration into the cultic aspects of the teachings of Ellen White. Recommended for Christians who seek genuine answers based on the best scholarship and firm adherence to the truths of God's Word."
- D James Kennedy, Ph.D., Senior Minister, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Ft Lauderdale, Florida

11. There We Stood, Here We Stand: 11 Lutherans Rediscover their Catholic Roots, by Tim Drake. From the author: When I was considering coming into the Catholic Church I lamented the fact that there were no books which spoke to me as a Lutheran. This book was born from that frustration. It features eleven Lutheran converts to Catholicism, including seven former pastors, both men and women. Catholics who like conversion stories, and open-minded Protestants will find their stories compelling. Marcus Grodi, President of the Coming Home Network and host of EWTN's "The Journey Home" says that the book "goes where no other book of conversion stories has gone - to the heart of Luther's Reformation."
