I have just finished reading Exodus in The Clear Word (a Paraphrase of the Bible by a Professor of Religion at Southern Adventist University) by Jack Blanco) I found this from Exodus 34:5-7 to be a profuond discription of our Awesome GOD:

"I am YAHWEH. I AM WHO I AM.... I am the Eternal ONE, the LORD GOD of Israel, full of mercy and compassion. I am gracious and kind, not easily angered, overflowing with love and forgiveness. I am faithful and true, full of goodness, showing mercy to thousands who love me and keep my commandments, forgiving iniquity, and sin without clearing the guilty and unrepentant, letting the consequances of sins be fel6t down to the third and fourth generations"

Here is a link to a good article on the incorporation of Ellen White comments into the Clear Word:

This one toward the end was one I had never seen before:

(Galatians 1:17) ...From Damascus I went straight into the Arabian desert and lived there for three years and was taught the gospel by Jesus Christ Himself. (AA 125-126) Here, in the solitude of the desert, Paul had ample opportunity for quiet study and meditation. He calmly reviewed his past experience and made sure work of repentance. He sought God with all his heart, resting not until he knew for a certainty that his repentance was accepted and his sin pardoned. He longed for the assurance that Jesus would be with him in his coming ministry. He emptied his soul of the prejudices and traditions that had hitherto shaped his life, and received instruction from the source of truth. Jesus communed with him and established him in the faith, bestowed upon him a rich measure of wisdom and grace.
