J.N. Loughborough was involved in the Advent movement from its early days, having been called to preach by E.G. White in 1852. During his years of service in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, he worked in New England, Michigan, Ohio, Great Britain, and California. In 1902 Loughborough published an account of the message and history of Seventh-day Adventism titled The Rise and Progress of the Third Angel's Message. Unfortunately, the book was lost when the Review and Herald burned in 1903. Starting over from scratch, Loughborough wrote a new book titled The Great Second Advent Movement that was published in 1905. In it he provides personal testimony and insight into the history of the church, the visions and prophecies of Ellen White, early divisions in the church, and various philosophical and religious matters, as well as some autobiographical material.

In 1853, at twenty-one years of age, John N. Loughborough began working with James and Ellen White preaching the gospel of Christ and sharing the three angels' messages with all who would listen. From that time until his death in 1924, Loughborough was a faithful witness and dedicated minister of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. During his ministry, Loughborough experienced many trials and miracles. From battling blizzards in the Midwest to being threatened by a knife-wielding man in California, he relied on God for protection as he preached to overflow crowds and converted hundreds of people. Miracles in My Life is a first-person account of the providential and faith-building experiences Loughborough had while working as an evangelist and traveling with James and Ellen White. The unique stories he shares will inspire confidence in the gift of prophecy and God's leading in the early Advent movement and in the life of His servants.
