“In the days before the Flood, every kind of amusement was invented to lead men and women to forgetfulness and sin. Today… Satan is working with intensity, that the same conditions of evil shall prevail. And the earth is becoming corrupt. Religious liberty will be little respected by professing Christians, for many of them have no understanding of spiritual things …

At such a time as this, the people who are seeking to keep the commandments of God should look for retired places away from the cities. Some must remain in the cities to give the last note of warning, but this will become more and more dangerous to do.” —Ellen G. White, Manuscript 85, 1908

Most of us will readily concede that Ellen White penned excellent advice in those sentences. But how do we—people who have grown accustomed to city living, with all its conveniences—make that transition? It’s not easy to pull up roots and move.  It’s not easy to lay aside one lifestyle in exchange for another. From City to Country Living not only encourages us to comply with the inspired counsel but also offers helpful tips from two men who have greatly enjoyed the boon of country living.

First released in 1950, this booklet has been expanded and updated. The publisher has made it available once again because of the continuing demand for something to supplement Ellen White’s booklet Country Living. The testimony of both E.A. Sutherland and Arthur White is simple: Country living really does work!
