Bringing Seventh-day Adventists to the Test

There is much in this book that is not without merit but he misrepresents both our health message and the messenger of the Lord. He says that she drank "poisonous tea" which he sees in direct opposition of what she taught. His point was the advocation of poison to treat disease. But this is a gross misrepresentation of facts. Not the only area he stretches the truth to make his point. He states she recommended the smallpox vaccine even though she never mentions vaccines in her books, writings, letters, or preaching. In fact we only have two references to vaccines supposedly made by her. One is from her son who said she felt the vaccine harmed him. The other claiming she supported and took it. Both are hearsay and NOT inspiration. To claim she took the vaccine from hearsay is just irresponsible and unethical. This has NOTHING to do with vaccines but facts. Hearsay is NOT Spirit of Prophecy and not valid to quote.He quotes extreme positions and hearsay but ignores volumes of plain Thus Saith the Lord. He lightly brushes over herbs and simple natural remedies even though EGW made these the focal point of most of her writings on the topic of healing. It is clear he feels modern medicine is more valuable than simple herbs and while I think he means well, his book undermines the health message and places science-so-called in a glorious light.I would not recommend this book. It is a very low quality read.
