Ellen G White

Healthful Living, was originally published by the Medical Missionary Board, Battle Creek, Michigan, under the title Instruction Relating to the Principles of Healthful Living. So popular when it first came out that it became necessary to come out with a second and then a third edition the first year. We have reproduced this 1898 third edition which also contained two additional chapters, God in Nature and The Spirit Filled Life. In the third edition an appendix of parallel Scripture references was included. This Scripture referenced appendix will be found exceedingly helpful in making clear to the mind of the reader the fact that the principles presented in this work are not mere human inventions; but are a part of the divine order appointed for the human family at the beginning, and which is to be restored when all things are made new. Wherever it has been received, this book has been recognized as a veritable storehouse of seed thoughts relating to the great practical themes with which it deals.

In thirteen chapters, Ellen G. White guides the reader to finding Jesus, by telling of the virtues and character required to enter God's favor and attain a deeper connection with the divinity. A celebrated and praised classic of Christianity, Steps to Christ offers a heartfelt and eloquent set of instructions for believers. Ellen G. White narrates experiences such as confession, the importance of repenting one's sins, and looking to the life of Christ as an inspiration and model for a virtuous, Christian existence. We learn how to tackle moral quandaries and challenges in everyday life by using the Biblical scripture for guidance, while prayer can act as a catalyst for arriving at calm and virtuous decisions. During her lifetime, Ellen G. White was most known for founding the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which remains a popular Christian denomination with many churches. American audiences also knew her for her writings on religious subjects, and for her frequent visions - a total of more than 2,000 in her lifetime. It was these experiences, which Ellen felt to be divine interventions and messages from God, that fueled the accomplishments which characterized her life.
