The Ministry of Healing

Ellen G. White

​Many things contribute to good health -- cheerfulness, fresh air, exercise, diet, and positive relationships with other people, to name a few. Crucial also is a personal relationship with the Creator who gave us life and everything we need for health and happiness.

​This book deals with sickness of the soul and the healing balm to be found by trusting God for all things. It guides one to a life full of joy and gladness -- a life in touch with the Source of healing power.

Pagination follows the standard printing used in the Comprehensive (Topical) Index to the Writings of Ellen G. White.

Textual emphasis in bold, italics, underline, color codes, and (clarifications) has been added by the Course Instructors.

Textual emphasis is only intended to reinforce the lessons important to the objectives of this course.
It is not intended to determine or restrict the manifold messages conveyed through the inspired writing.
