This is the 1st edition of Volume 1, which was printed in May, 2010. There are many typographical errors that are corrected in the 2nd edition. However, it has the same basic content, same chapter titles, same cover, and same ISBN number. Ellen White stated: "The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones. This message was to bring more prominently before the world the uplifted Saviour, the sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. It presented justification through faith in the Surety; it invited the people to receive the righteousness of Christ, which is made manifest in obedience to all the commandments of God. Many had lost sight of Jesus. They needed to have their eyes directed to His divine person, His merits, and His changeless love for the human family. . . . This is the message that God commanded to be given to the world. It is the third angel's message, which is to be proclaimed with a loud voice, and attended with the outpouring of His Spirit in a large measure" (1888 Materials, pp. 1336-1337). Sadly, however, Ellen White also stated: "An unwillingness to yield up preconceived opinions, and to accept this truth, lay at the foundation of a large share of the opposition manifested at Minneapolis against the Lord's message through Brethren Waggoner and Jones. By exciting that opposition, Satan succeeded in shutting away from our people, in a great measure, the special power of the Holy Spirit that God longed to impart to them. The enemy prevented them from obtaining that efficiency which might have been theirs in carrying the truth to the world, as the apostles proclaimed it after the day of Pentecost. The light that is to lighten the whole earth with its glory was resisted, and by the action of our own brethren has been in a great degree kept away from the world" (1888 Materials, p. 1575). Thankfully though, the same latter rain is about to return!

The Third edition of RLR had a number of corrections made, a few small content additions and the added cover description of "Volume 1". However, the book has retained the same basic content, same chapter titles and same cover as the earlier editions. Ellen White stated: "The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones.

"'And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'-Zechariah 13:6"Yes, long ago Jesus came to this earth - the "house of His friends" - and was mortally wounded. But this would not be the last time His presumed friends would wound Him."This book is the story of a time much closer to ours, when Jesus came near again, bringing with Him a priceless gift to present to His church - the full measure of the Holy Spirit in Latter Rain power."But though some few accepted it fully with joy, many others chose to wound the Giver by resisting and rejecting His gift. The Latter Rain that might have been was delayed - and waits even yet to resume."This story is our chance to learn from the past, to avoid repeating it - it's another chance to welcome the Giver fully and receive His gift with unbounded gratitude." (From Back Cover)Wounded in the House of His Friends is really a summary volume, in The Return of the Latter Rain series-Vol. 1 being first published in 2010. The RLR manuscript represented a simple, yet unique compilation of Ellen White statements on the subject of the latter rain and the loud cry, placed in chronological order. Originally, the manuscript's main objective was to address the core questions surrounding the 1888 episode that have plagued Adventism since the 1890s: Did in fact the Lord send the beginning of the latter rain and the loud cry in 1888-and were they accepted?  As the RLR manuscript continued to develop it began addressing many other related topics and issues. As a consequence, the first volume drawn from the original manuscript only covered the years 1844 to 1891.Work will continue on the series, covering in greater depth the main theme in Wounded, as well as many of the other related topics and issues that surround the 1888 Minneapolis General Conference and its aftermath.
