About the Book
In Reach for the Top: Applying Adventist Health Principles in the Modern World, physician W. John Wilbur examines the health counsels of Ellen G. White, an early Adventist pioneer, in light of modern medical science. Discussing diet, exercise, mental health, rest, and spirituality, Wilbur advocates for a balanced, principled lifestyle rooted in Adventist teachings. He shares his personal journey applying these holistic principles, including recent struggles with heart disease. Throughout, Wilbur finds White’s insights supported by current research, lending credibility to the Adventist emphasis on wholeness. Written accessibly, with a doctor’s expertise, Reach for the Top provides inspiration and practical steps for pursuing physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. Wilbur makes a thoughtful case that true health aligns with God’s natural laws.
“Dr. Wilbur does an excellent job of using research to add a wealth of information to the health topics about which he writes. I highly recommend his book.”
~ George Gibson, PhD Emeritus Professor of American History and Economics at Union College
“The author brings together years of research behind modern medicine and the tried and true health message of the Seventh-day Adventists.”
~ Katherine L. Schyllander, Mother and Grandmother
“John simply shares the facts regarding health, nutrition and their relation to spiritual things. And he shares his own journey, even though some of its details may surprise. Trade drama for simple facts. Read this book!”
~ Pastor Dave VandeVere, VP-Finance at Mid-America Union of Seventh-day Adventists
