Discovering the New Covenant: Why I Am No Longer a Seventh-day Adventist by Pastor Greg Taylor
Sabbath in Christ by former-SDA pastor and teacher Dale Ratzlaff
Truth About Adventist "Truth" by Dale Ratzlaff (We highly recommend this book to Christians as a concise and accurate resource on Adventist doctrine).
Truth Led Me Out by Dale Ratzlaff
The Fake Controversy by Dirk Anderson (Scroll down Dirk's online bookstore webpage to find this one. If you have ever read Ellen White's The Great Controversy, you need to read this book).
White Out: An Investigation of Ellen G. White by Dirk Anderson
White Washed: Uncovering the Myths of Ellen G. White by former-SDA pastor Sydney Cleveland (The chapter titled "Karaite Jews and October 22, 1844" is great! The book is worth buying for that chapter alone).
The Life of Mrs. E. G. White, SDA Prophet: Her False Claims Refuted by early Adventist leader D. M. Canright
Seventh-Day Adventism Renounced by D. M. Canright
The Case of D. M. Canright: Seventh-day Adventist Charges Examined by Norman F. Douty (This out-of-print biography of Canright from a major Christian publisher is sometimes available on Amazon. We recommend this book because the SDA Church has smeared Canright's name and this book tells the truth).
A Theologian's Journey: From Seventh-day Adventism to Mainstream Christianity by Jerry Gladson, Ph.D.
Prophetess of Health: A Study of Ellen G. White by Ronald Numbers
It's Okay Not To Be a Seventh-day Adventist: The Untold History and the Doctrine that Attempts to Repair the Temple Veil by Teresa and Arthur Beem
The White Lie by Walter T. Rea exposes the depth of plagiarism in Ellen White's supposedly inspired writings. He dedicates his book "to all those who would rather believe a bitter truth than a sweet lie."
Sabbath, Circumcision, and Tithing: Which Old Testament Laws Apply to Christians? by Michael Morrison (The author is a leader in the Worldwide Church of God, which abandoned their Sabbath-keeping heritage in the 1990s. Morrison is interviewed in the Called To Be Free film linked to in the video resources section below).
40 Questions About Christians & Biblical Law by Thomas Schreiner

Video Resources
All video resources listed below are viewable free online!
"The Apostolic Imperative and the International Adventist Challenge" talk by Christian apologist Paul Carden (This is an excellent presentation on Adventism by a Christian leader in counter-cult ministries. We also recommend the 2-part Question & Answer session at the bottom of the linked page).
"The John Ankerberg Show" interviews between the late Dr. Walter Martin (noted Christian apologist and author of Kingdom of the Cults) and Dr. William Johnsson (SDA leader & editor of the Adventist Review)
Called To Be Free film by Living Hope Ministries (This fascinating documentary chronicles the doctrinal changes that the Worldwide Church of God made in the 1990s. The WCoG is a "cousin" to Adventism as their roots also go back to the Advent movement of the 1800s. Additionally, both denominations observe(d) the 7th-day Sabbath and follow(ed) someone claiming to be a last-day prophet. We highly recommend this film).
Lifting the Veil of Polygamy film by Living Hope Ministries (Although this moving documentary deals with Mormonism and Joseph Smith, there are many similarities to Adventism and we have been greatly blessed by the testimonies of the former-Mormon fundamentalists interviewed in this film).
Jesus Christ / Joseph Smith film by Good News for LDS (I recommend this documentary to Adventists because when we first discovered that our foundational beliefs were false, I [Jennifer] found great comfort in hearing the stories of former-Mormons on this film and the ones by Living Hope Ministries, in particular).
Testimony of Carolyn Macomber (Scroll down the linked page to view Carolyn's testimony titled "I Have Need of Nothing").
