Christ, who went about doing good, healing all that were oppressed of the devil, showed that true evangelism comprehends ministry to physical needs as well as the spiritual. This booklet of selections from the pen of Ellen White, is a call to medical evangelism for the church. The 58th chapter of Isaiah lays upon the church the responsibility of caring for the sick and needy, and represents such service as true worship of God.

This book educates the reader regarding public health initiative in parish congregations and in the community at large. This book can be used as a guide to formulate a full service health ministry.
