Description

The story of our health message takes the reader back to the beginnings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church--times when the general public remained largely ignorant concerning physiology and hygiene. The account of how God led His people to understand the laws He had established to govern the human body makes thrilling reading.
In his research, the author utilized the correspondence files of James and Ellen White and of other leaders in the early Seventh-day Adventist Church, denominational and other periodical files of the past, and the records of early movements toward reform as preserved in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.
