Medical Ministry. Ellen White wrote a great deal about health. Much of her counsel in this book is directed to medical workers, but people not directly involved in health-care work also will find much of interest and value. The author placed great importance on obedience to God's law as a foundation for good health. She believed that disregarding God's moral law leads to disregard for His physical laws that govern the health of body and mind. This comprehensive view of health-one that involves body, mind, and spirit-is set forth in this book.
