Recreation addresses Christian principles for rest, relaxation, and wholesome amusements. This pamphlet provides guidance on what constitutes proper recreation for believers versus worldly entertainment that corrupts. White typically covered: recreation's legitimate purpose (refreshing body and mind for work/service), wholesome versus corrupting amusements, avoiding theaters, gambling, and worldly pleasure-seeking, family recreation that strengthens relationships, outdoor activities and nature study, balancing work and rest, and Sabbath recreation. The pamphlet emphasized that recreation should recreate—restore strength and vitality—not degrade, that not all amusement is harmless, and that Christians should seek pleasures that prepare for heaven rather than unfit for it. Proper recreation refreshes for service; improper indulgence weakens spirituality.
All believers, particularly youth, parents guiding families, those struggling with entertainment choices, and church members seeking biblical recreation standards.
