In my book I profile Arthur Grosvenor Daniells, one of the best General Conference presidents this church ever had.  Under his dynamic leadership during the first 20 years of the 20th century, Adventism advanced into the big leagues, with missionaries, churches, conferences  schools, publishing and medical institutions all over the world.  He started out with General Conference sessions being held in minor league places like Takoma Park, Md., and Battle Creek, Mich.  When he left office, the church met in world session every four years in major cities like San Francisco.  I base my profile of him, as well as the other two, on their correspondence with Ellen White.  Daniells had his own ideas on how to accomplish the Adventist mission but unfortunately did not include the physicians and medical professionals.   He felt the church could reach the world through a strong publishing and evangelistic program, things he had a profound understanding of.

Just getting started

Greetings--

I am starting a new blog here.  I have a new book coming out and am anxious to discuss the issues in it, hoping people will read it.  So I am starting out here.

I am profiling three principal founders of Adventist medical work  John Harvey Kellogg  Arthur G. Daniells and Percy T. Magan.  They were all prominent in the Adventist movement, so I sense a larger audience.  The primary audience is Adventist medical professionals.  If they like it, it might stand a chance of selling among the larger Adventist populace.  Who knows!  some in the general public might like it as well.

My publisher says it should be ready for reading by July.

Thanks for giving me some consideration.
