Vision Bold, The / Johns, Warren L; Utt, Richard H / (HB/1977-1977/B/USED)

*Condition Note: Moderate cover wear.*

The story of the Seventh-day Adventist health message has been told and retold, Yet it is so novel, so complex, and so involved with the lives of colorful people that there is plenty of room for more delving into its details. Especially is this true when one can come up with historic pictures that have never before, or rarely, been published.

Did you know, for instance, that when the men at Battle Creek Sanitarium (patients and personnel) performed calisthenics they wore only what looked like diapers? Did you know that the reason Kellogg's Corn Flakes packages for many years carried the slogan "Not Genuine Without This Signature--W. K Kellogg" was because of a lawsuit between the manufacturer and his brother, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg?

But THE VISION BOLD is more than a richly illustrated pictorial history (with many pictures in full color); it is a considered analysis of the philosophy that has undergirded the Seventh-day Adventist emphasis on health since its inception. The visions and counsels of Ellen G. White, the self-sacrificing enthusiasm of supporting church members, the driving force of such people as Percy Magan, John Kellogg, and Kate Lindsay, have been followed by the dedication of thousands of doctors, nurses, nutritionists, technologists, administrators, and instructors who today make the Adventist health program the strongest and largest among Protestant bodies.

THE VISION BOLD was prepared by professionals--doctors as well as writers--who combined their talents in a blend that evokes nostalgia, admiration--yes, and emulation. It is a book that begs to be picked up, looked at, and read.
