will be a power to withstand
the masterly ingenuity of
Satan's deceptions.”
EGW, Letter 99, 1905.
Newly published book by APL (in Portuguese)
Projects Overview
AUDIOBOOKS
Major work is being done in English,
Spanish and Portuguese. We have narrations of
8 books and 3 sermons in English from the
Pioneers, and narrations of several Spanish
and Portuguese books of Ellen White.
Dear Friends of the
Adventist Pioneer Library:
Just to update you on what has been
happening with the APL projects recently
Continued on Page 2
EBOOKS
We are making available the writings of
the SDA pioneers for both Kindle and iPad/
iPhone (and other ebook readers). We posted
400+ titles, which can be freely downloaded.

TRANSLATIONS
We’ve finished translating the booklet
Ellen G. White and the Loud Cry into Portuguese
and printed 3,000 copies. We are currently
translating The Great Second Advent Movement, by
J. N. Loughborough, an early pioneer. The
translation’s final revisions are under way.

PARTICIPATE
Technology is fast developing and
we can hardly get used its cutting edge
before something better comes up. In
order to advance with God’s providence
we want to be sure to use as much of
the advantages we can in promoting His
cause.
Audiobooks, initially thought only
to aid the visually impaired, are now
proving to be an excellent aid to
anyone with listening capacity, whether
it be while exercising at the gym, going
for a walk, driving, doing household
duties, or going to bed. With cellphones
and tablets playing audio by default,
the widespread access to audiobooks
and sermons is unprecedented.
If you desire to participate in this
exciting narration project, here’s what
you can do:
The preparation of audiobooks
involves a considerable amount of
funds due to its processing time. We
currently have 4 narrators, 3 of which
do volunteer work. The paid narrator is
a theology student at our SDA
university in Brazil. This income is the
only way he can pay his schooling. He
does a careful work and we appreciate
and support him for his dedication. If
you desire, you can help us support his
schooling in paying for his editing
work.
T h e S p a n i s h n a r r at o r i s a
volunteer worker and is doing as much
work as a professional would do. We
have not been able to pay him
a ny t h i n g, bu t o n l y t o p rov i d e
equipment and software, due to lack of
funds.
Editing the audio narrations for
online posting is by far the most fund
demanding of all steps in the narration
project. Each hour of raw narration
can take up to 6 hours of editing and
final preparation. This is the one
activity where donations are most
needed. You can find more information
on how to support this project on
page 5.
PIONEER’S AUDIO
R a y m o n d Jo s e p h h a s b e e n
narrating pioneer materials for years
using cassette tapes. With some new
high-end digital recorders and mics,
Raymond continues his narrations, but
sounds a lot better. Recent works are:
• The Third Angel’s Message (1895) – a
series of 26 sermons preached by A.
T. Jones at the 1895 General
Conference Session (in progress and
posted online up to sermon 13) that
focused on Righteousness by Faith
and the National Sunday Law.
• What is Patriotism in the United States of
America – A. T. Jones’ sermon to an
enthusiastic audience in San
Francisco.
• The Great Second Advent Movement – an
SDA history book by pioneer
J. N. Loughborough. He witnessed
many early events in the Advent
Movement’s development.
These audiobooks can be downloaded for free from the SDA pioneers
audio resource www.AdventAudio.org
website.
ELLEN WHITE AUDIO
Another of APL’s projects is the
narration of Ellen White’s books. The
potential of this endeavor can hardly
be fathomed. Our EGW narrations are
posted to www.EllenWhiteAudio.org
website. There are close to 1000 visits
to this website everyday. The English
audio collection is quite a bit larger
than the other languages, but there is
major work being done on the Spanish
and Portuguese audiobooks. From late
2011 to early 2012, we’ve posted
Spanish Testimonies for the Church, Vols. 6
and 7, and are working on Vol. 8.
On the Portuguese section in 2011
we worked on Early Writings, continued
with good progress on The Great
Controversy, and are now starting to post
online the first part of Testimonies for the
Church, Vol. 1. A new narration of
Christ’s Object Lessons is in progress and
will soon be posted.

ebook reading device
(Apple iPad/iPhone, Amazon Kindle, B&N Nook, Sony reader, etc.)
A DREAM COME TRUE
The publishing dream is coming
true. Had the pioneers even dreamed
of such tools as we have today, they
would probably not be able to sleep for
a few days.
With ebooks, millions of books can
be distributed in a single day, with no
shipping or printing costs. It does not
take a huge shelf in the living room or
library to store 400+ books of the
pioneers. All you need is a little space
on an ebook reading device (less than
100 megabytes on the iPad), for that’s
all that it takes.
of the pioneers in the ebook format.
They are also available online for
download. Visit www.AdventAudio.org
and you will find ALL of the pioneer
books/articles available now in epub
(iPad, etc.), mobi (Kindle) and PDF
formats; download them and tell
others!
The Ellen G. White Estate is
arranging for an “export” function so
the material of the pioneers they have
published on their website can be easily
exported into the ebook formats for the
Apple Store and the Kindle Store.
SALES
PIONEER EBOOKS
APL has recently released (as of
GYC 2011) a DVD with all the books
We are beginning to sell the
ebooks on the Apple and Amazon
ebook store, which will allow for
Ebooks currently available online
converting more books and making
them available in more formats. There
are a few titles already in the online
stores (such as History of the Sabbath and
First Day of the Week and The Complete
Testimony of the Fathers of the First Three
Centuries Concerning the Sabbath and First
Day, both by J. N. Andrews).
PARTICIPATE
If you desire to help in spreading
these ebooks, you can support APL in
the ebook conversion process. The
time-consuming steps are the cover
preparation for each ebook and
standardizing the contents for epub/
mobi output. Your help will be greatly
appreciated.

TRANSLATIONS PROJECT!

J. N. Loughborough’s book currently being translated into Portuguese
BREAKING BARRIERS
PROJECT
God designed that the materials
published by the pioneers of our church
should be spread throughout the world. In
some remarkable way, languages can be a
hindrance in spreading the message. That’s
why the Holy Spirit called for young people
to be trained in interpreting/translating, so
that the message can go forward to other
countries, as shown in the inspired counsel:
“Young men should be qualifying
themselves by becoming familiar with other
languages, that God may use them as
mediums to communicate His saving truth to
those of other nations... They could devote
themselves to the work of translating.”
Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 3, p. 204.
A SADLY NEGLECTED WORK
APL desires to expand so that language
will not be a barrier. We want to translate
the materials God gave to the Church
through our pioneers. After selecting about
100 books that are of much importance, we
have already had a jump start, translating
the booklet Ellen G. White and the Loud Cry
into Portuguese with a 3,000 copy first
print. The next Portuguese translation is
The Great Second Advent Movement, already
translated and being revised. We also want
to translate this book into Spanish and
several other languages. Some other books
of major importance under consideration
include: The Third Angel’s Message (1893) by
A. T. Jones, The Everlasting Covenant by E. J.
Waggoner, History of the Sabbath and First Day
of the Week by J. N. Andrews, among others.
As we look into the writings of the
SDA pioneers in non-English languages, we
are surprised with a resounding absence. In
many languages, it is as if there were no
pioneers writings, but only a few books of
sister White. The sad neglect of this
important work has resulted in history-less
churches and members in too many
locations.
It costs thousands of dollars to translate
a book. However, if we join efforts, The
LORD will bless so that his people can be
prepared for the end. If you desire, please
join us in this great endeavor. See the
last page on this newsletter for more
information on how to support this project.

Picture of early SDA periodical
“I have been instructed
that we should make
prominent the testimony
of some of the old
workers who are now
dead. Let them continue
to speak through their
articles as found in the
early numbers of our
papers. These articles
should now be reprinted,
that there may be a living
voice from the Lord's
witnesses. The history of
the early experiences in
the message will be a
power to withstand the
masterly ingenuity of
Satan's deceptions. This
instruction has been
repeated recently.”
