STEPS TO CHRIST
By Ellen G. White

Preface
UPON many ears there fall the words of the gracious invitation, "Come unto Me,"--that call of a compassionate Saviour whose heart of love is drawn out toward all who are wandering away from God; and in the hearts of many, who are really longing for the help to be found in Jesus, there is quickened the purpose to return to the Father's house. With such the inquiry of Thomas is oft repeated, "How can we know the way?" The Father's house seems to be a long way off, and the road appears difficult and uncertain. What are the steps which lead homeward?
The title of this book tells its mission. It points to Jesus as the only one who is able to meet the needs of the soul, and directs the feet of the doubting and the halting to "the pathway of peace." It leads the seeker after righteousness and wholeness of character, step by step, along the way of the Christian life, to that fulness of blessing which is found in the complete surrender of self and an unwavering trust in the saving grace and the keeping power of the Friend of sinners. The instruction found in these pages has brought comfort and hope to many a troubled soul, and has enabled many followers of the Master to walk more confidently and more joyfully in the steps of their divine Leader. It is hoped that it may bear the same message to many more who are needing the same help.
"There let the way appear
Steps up to heaven."
So it was with Jacob, when, oppressed with the fear that his sin had cut him off from God, he lay down to rest, and "he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven." The connection between earth and heaven was thus revealed to him, and words of comfort and hope were spoken to the wanderer by Him who stood at the top of the shadowy stairs. May the heavenly vision be repeated to many as they read this story of the way of life. PUBLISHERS.

Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.
This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

This fourth volume-The Acts of the Apostles-covers the experience of the early Christian Church. While the Bible's book of Acts covers a period of only a little more than three decades, it is filled with important lessons for the church in every age. God clearly indicates that the Christian today shall experience the presence of the same Spirit who came with power at Pentecost and fanned the gospel message into a flame. The acts of the Holy Spirit through Peter and Paul, John and James, and others can be repeated in the modern disciple. The abruptness with which the book of Acts closes is not accidental; it deliberately suggests that the thrilling narrative is unfinished, that the acts of God through the Spirit are to have their sequel throughout the Christian dispensation-each successive generation adding a chapter full of beauty and power to the one that preceded it. The Companion Volumes are: Vol. I.-Adam & Eve Through King David's Reign - Patriarchs and Prophets Vol. II.-King Solomon Until the Promised Deliverer - Prophets and Kings Vol. III.-The Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ - The Desire of Ages Vol. V.-The Christian Era Until Victory is Unanimously Achieved - The Great Controversy * Supernatural Revelations Explaining Past, Present, & Future * - TRANSFORMING TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION -

Ministry of Healing was first published in its present form in 1905. Its roots, however, began as far back as the 1860s with materials Ellen White wrote for publications such as Health Reformer, Good Health, Appeal to Mothers, How to Live, and Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene. This electronic version is a full text rendition. Over 200 hand drawn illustrations from that era have been restored and add much to its attractiveness and study value. Christ spent more time healing and ministering to the physical needs of suffering humanity than he did to preaching. He related to people in the areas of their felt need and after gaining their attention and indebtedness he ministered to their spiritual needs, encouraging them to "go and sin no more." He was indeed the pattern Medical Missionary. Through His example in ministry He calls not only health professionals but every admirer of His to "come and follow Me." This book helps us to see the natural laws of our bodies as the divine laws of a loving Creator. Practical counsel guides us in our day-to-day care of our physical being in ways that will greatly maintain physical health and in general provide us a longer, more productive, and enjoyable life span. There is also much information on how to best minister to those who are suffering physically, mentally, and spiritually. There is good, practical advice on how to provide effective home health care which, in many instances, will diminish, the need for professional health care and fewer medications.
